If you're looking for a new idea to use up some of your junk mail window envelopes, here's an idea to try. With one window envelope, you can decorate both sides of a page in your journal. The special feature --a tab on the side to extend beyond the edge of the journal page--adds interest to the page edge as well. I show you how I made one as well as show other examples and have finished photos at the end of the video. I hope that you find inspiration and some useful information here. Thank you for watching.
Other creators I mention in this video are two of my favorites who inspire me: Kathleen Mower‪@BeAgainBooks‬ and Rhonda ‪@joyjunktique‬ Many thanks to both of you for so much inspiration and instruction.
If you would like to see the flip-through of my Dollar Tree Challenge Video hosted by Jessica ‪@PaperTerrace‬ here is the link: • Completed Journal Flip...
The other video flip-through I mentioned is my Junk Journal January 2024 video, linked here: • ASMR Flip Through Acco...
Happy Crafting! Please tag me if you make some of these tabbed pockets. I'd love to see your creations.

Just subscribed and looking forward to going through your videos. My mom always said “sewing will make you or break you”. Being stubborn, I wouldn’t let that happen. It’s pretty much been a motto throughout life (almost 68 years) for all things I do. This project looks like it can be adapted and I like that. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

@sandratheprocraftinator945 2 месяца назад

8:15 using this type of glue does it make your paper warp? And if so does it matter to you?

@sandratheprocraftinator945 2 месяца назад

I guess it doesn’t matter

@lindaspaperworks 2 месяца назад

Hi Sandra, Aleene's Turbo Tacky Glue dries faster than the regular Aleene's Tacky glue. I think that the quick drying aspect keeps it from warping the paper as much. The Turbo Tacky glue is more difficult to use to glue large areas. It dries so fast that sometimes the first parts are already dry before I have applied glue to the entire surface. That can also vary depending on the humidity in the atmosphere. I just took a look at the pocket and tab on the piece you referenced and the little bit of glue that I put inside the tab didn't warp the paper. The gesso that I painted over the words on the back caused more paper warp. I enjoy using coffee, tea and other dyed papers as well as watercolor and other paints on my pages, so I don't mind a little bit of warping. The short answer is I generally can overlook the paper warp. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
