Easy Decoupage Envelopes - Junk Journal Envelope Tutorial - Tracing Paper Ideas 

Fantastic to give to anyone, fun & exciting , easy to do for anytime of the year & for journals, thanks..

I am a huge fan of all your little struggles. You are like everyone of us, covered in paint and glue and working with the mistakes we make as we go along! Never cut any of those " oh, what's that" moments from the videos. This is exactly what I come here for ;) That and your creativity of turning all those mishaps into beautiful pieces!!!!!

These are just gorgeous Tina, haven't seen them before

Thank you for your"hash ups" because I don't feel like I'm the only one who has these hiccups. Love the napkins.

Love the tip of the acetate over the napkin instead of the fingers because I’ve been known to tear them also lol

Just beautiful, 😁

Always separate from the edge you've cut, because the outer edges of napkins are crimped together. I always lick my thumb and forefinger just on one hand, pinch the edge HARD - finger on top, thumb underneath, allow a few seconds for top and bottom layers to grip your finger and thumb, and then "POW" whip your finger and thumb apart quickly! Done! I can separate napkins in a flash that way! Yes those are gorgeous napkins! Hard not to hoard them! Lovely lovely lovely envelopes! Very delicate and soft, love them! 😘😘😘 EDIT*** i always glue down the white layers too on their own, they make an unusual crispy texture paper for stamping on! Then you can get use out of all 3 layers! 😁

You can dry the papers by ironing them from the back! The idea with the craft paper background is amazing! I love it!!!!!

Just stick a piece of tape on the back of the napkin. That will separate the layers. Very easy.

Beautiful as always

So pretty!

Who knew tracing paper could be so useful and versatile. Love how you used it with the napkins. Need to get some of the stronger stuff than I have though.

Hi Tina, I love the idea of the brown bag behind. Very pretty.

they look lovely and what a great way to use all those napkins...another way to split the napkin layers is to hold the corner between two fingers & blow the corner & they will open slightly

Delicious! I think I'll give the paper bags a good crumple before backing the tracing paper with them. It makes them so soft; no wonder your envelopes feel like fabric. You have such fun ideas, Tina. Thank you. ~ Lisa

I can't express how beautiful they look Tina! Wow tfs

These envelopes are gorgeous!! Great job Tina!!💗

Pretty well yes we want bling. Of course we want bling. Love These Tina.

These came out lovely Tina. And like you I always feel bling is never a bad idea.

So beautiful! Love these! Can't wait to try these! TFS!

A LITTLE SALIVA ON THUMB AND FINGER WORKS WELL. LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. CAMILLE AUST.

Gorgeous napkins and concept. I love them. I was thinking a little velcro dot under the flap would be a nice closure to hold your contents inside. Lovely video! I'm off to pick up some tracing paper. Have a great day!

Love, love, love these envelopes and watching your videos!!!!! You craft just like us!!!!! Please keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!! Love you for sharing your creative talents!

Oh wow! That was such a clever idea with the acetate. I have never seen that tip before. Way to think outside the box!

Love this! Can’t wait to try it. Thank you! I just love your videos!

Beautiful as always...❤❤❤

Beautiful as always!Tfs!

Sthey are beautiful...

I love these. So pretty. The whole process looked so easy and simple. I'm sure the hardest part was just waiting for them to dry. Love the bling. Thanks for sharing.

lovely

Such beautiful envelopes. I must try these. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

I love the pink stripe from the napkin on the back of that envelope

Just started the video but I have to say, your napkins are so absolutely beautiful!!!!

Yes I’m trying these tracing paper envelopes and learning to let the ink dry before sewing. I can’t wait to work with the napkins! Lovely

Tina, another real life video with the same issues we all face in real life. Don’t ever get that way that you think we don’t need to see the things that don’t go perfectly or how to deal with them, that’s why we watch you. You are one of us, mind you you have a lot more ideas than me, thanks for the inspiration. 😁💐Truly gorgeous.

Such fun ideas, going to try running the edge through a metal die on one to make it fancy

Oohhh yesss, I always want some bling! You are super-cool! Love this project! Thank you for sharing ❤️😘🌸💐🙏😍many hugs, CreativeHappinessByMonique

They are beautiful envelopes. So fun watching your videos. Love to hear you talk too!! I'm in Texas so your accent is awesome!!

The envelopes are really pretty!

Love this. Will have to give this a go.

Love these envelopes. I just put mod podge on my napkins leaving them to dry overnight and I will get back to them in the morning. Great video thanks for sharing!

Beautiful!

An absolutely great idea. I loved the video Tina, thank you. I will definitely give this a try. I find the easiest way to separate the back from napkins is using sellotape as I find using my fingers only results in tearing the napkin. Thank you again for all your lovely inspirations.

Hi, For taking apart napkins use scotch tape in a roll and it peels right off. Wonderful ideas. Your journal will be gorgeous.

I like seeing I’m not the only one who has problems! This is my first time watching & seeing what you did made me smile! Thanks!😊 I actually ended up laughing!😂❤️ I’m still afraid of napkins!😁 Very cute!🥰

Love your work

I love working with napkins. I've never seen acetate technique but definitely will try. I do like mine a bit wrinkled

Must give this a try TFS 🤗

Your napkins are so beautiful. I struggle to find pretty napkins

I am buying tracing paper tomorrow 😉

Very nice! Thanks for sharing Tina, have a wonderful day

Tape helps

Love this idea using napkin on tracing paper! My tracing paper is thinner (11#) than the one you use but still is really nice and sturdy after using mod podge. I tried using vellum (44 gsm or 30#) and feels stiffer. I was running into the same problem with the last corner puckering. Read people's recommendations and found that the using clips to hold the paper down and remove as you sew works the best. Thanks for this idea. Made a bunch of envelopes and small pockets.

Hi, love watching your videos, you are so talented, and lighthearted. If you dont have tracing paper, could you use kitchen parchment paper?

Oh my word, lol .. I swear sometimes visual things just don't connect unless your holding my hand.. Found your other printed on tracing paper envelopes before this one..Sooo easy..Lol. Great timing tho, I have been trying to make my own envelopes but the instructions for the greeting card envelope or "bankers" envelope are just too confusing.. Yours are perfect for the envelope albums and pockets.. Thanks so much!!

How could you do these in an alternative way if you do not have a sewing machine? Just glue them?

What did you do after you stitched it together? To make the folds for making the actual envelope. You jumped from stitching to already done envelope to decorate? Help im lost.

Which video actually shows the folds to make the envelope? Im trying to search for it now..

Oh Tina where did you get those gorgeous napkins from x

Tina how about sticking the tracing paper down before you mod podge
