Welcome ! I want to thank you for taking time out of your busy day to spend with me.
Today I am going to share how you can transform the humble envelope into this gorgeous junk journall. Envelopes are inexpensive and a great way to create something unique for happy mail or to add to your junk journal.
Gather your supplies and let's get started!#envelopejournal
I have been busy tea dying papers, gathering vintage laces, and scouring for vintage ephemera to add to this journal. I love the process of planning to seeing each Junk Journal come to life in my studio!! It gives me the greatest pleasure to share each creation with you here.
If you would like to support my channel you can buy me a coffee here:

Your support is greatly appreciated !
Thank you all so much for your love & support of my obsession to create!!!
Crafty Hugs,
Gina @ TheFireFlyStudio67

I love working with envelopes and this idea is genius. I will have to play around with it and see what I can come up with. I am impressed that they are strong enough for covers. Love it Gina. Am trying to catch up with what I have missed and certainly am happy I saw this. You are the girl my friend!!!! I am so very sorry to hear about your father in law's passing. It's heartbreaking and so sad. I feel for you and your family. I am sorry Gina.

@lilyfultz9702 4 года назад

I love this & your clutch wallet, but there are other crafters on RU-vid that are stealing your ideas, acting like they came up with the idea & some just not giving you credit, which I can understand that most of us can’t remember where we got the idea from, so just say that whatever they are doing is not their original idea, that it came from another crafter that they can’t remember the name of & others just point blank doing your creations for their subscribers, acting like it’s their idea & just not giving credit to you or the crafter that they can’t remember & you aren’t the only crafter that this is being done to, so I just politely make them & their subscribers aware of it because it’s not right & it’s a big pet peeve of mine! Take care & keep creating these awesome crafts, 🎀 Lily 🎀

This is so beautiful and there are so many variables Gina. I’ve got a hundred, yes 100 A5 used and window envelopes which have arrived over the last two months; all from various sources associated with finalising my husbands estate.following his passing at the beginning of August. I’m making a journal and using the envelopes to make the pages pockets etc creating secret places I can write stuff I want kept private. Just picking myself up and so enjoy all the support from the crafty community on you tube. Xxxx

@TheFireFlyStudio67 5 лет назад

Oh Jean I am so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers and hugs to you during this difficult time. I too find creating therapeutic and hope you will as well. xo

Gina, love your work! My daughter and I watch you all the time,so thanks for giving me something to share with her. Can you tell me what weight paper you are printing your kits on? It seems to be heavier than regular copy paper, but you said not card stock. Thanks so much for sharing so generously.

@haleyscreations3579 5 лет назад

You made plain envelopes look so beautiful! I love this project and the 2 ways you showed us! I would love to see more videos with your envelope journals or TN’s! Such a nice size and good recycling!

@dianeduncan5814 5 лет назад

Hi Gina (new subbie from Australia 😊) I believe there are what they call, "Rambling/walking clubs" in the UK for people who like going for nice scenic walks, and they are usually well organised etc, might be worth asking about in your area! I am wondering if you mixed a little ink with some mod podge (or even diluted while glue) you could make something similar to the collage medium ( for those that don't have or cant find the proper stuff)? might have to have a bit of a try! I just love your envelope journal covers, they are beautiful, thanks for the video xo

@peetsmetsers6126 3 года назад

@alicecasey4052 4 года назад

@chamlina16 3 года назад

I love my Epson tank printer. I switched from my instant ink hp printer to the eco tank printer and have never looked back.

@penelopemarshall6320 5 лет назад

Great idea, they turned out so well! Love your stories Gina. We have the same problem, most of our pubs close down lunches around 2 pm and up north in the tropics they have siesta time because it's so darn hot at that time of day! A lot of businesses only open in the mornings in some of these places! I thought for a moment that farmer had sent you on a wild goose chase for his own amusement! Lol!

@TheFireFlyStudio67 5 лет назад

LOL Pene! I hand even thought of that but now I am beginning to wonder hahaha.

@lindaearls5746 5 лет назад

Got a junk journal question 101 for a newbie here. I don't have a good quality printer and can't really afford to run out and buy one even though I want to now that I have discovered digital art!!! Anyways I have heard you can still buy the digi packs of art off of etsy and just print it at a print shop to get excellent quality prints but how do I do that? Do I buy it and somehow download it onto a flash drive and take that to the print shop? Do we even use flash drives anymore?? I am so out of sink with technology....LOL Help me please..... Thank you!!! FYI I LOVE everything you create!!!!!

Fun project! Your story had me chuckling. Glad the farmer was so nice. I need to look for that TH medium and love that brush, I need several! I know how much you are looking forward to visiting the states. Could you talk to the airlines about packing a few small boxes with your stuff and shipping them on the plane when you come back? Might be cheaper and a better option than suitcases. I’m sorry for the loss of your father in law. I was responsible for my older brother’s estate and it was a lot of work, but he was very smart and had a lawyer lay everything out in writing, so the legal part was easy. Plus we are in VA and he was in Florida, so we had to deal with being in a strange area we weren’t familiar with. I love watching you! Thanks for sharing.
