❤Hello Anne! Julie Torrens here! Thank you for your generous endorsement of my channel. I woke up to many more subscribers all remembering to let me know that you sent them❤❤❤ Obviously you have a marvelous group of followers. I am privileged to get to know them. Again, many thanks. Now I have a personal question. 😮 What is the cute ladybug on your desk? Chat soon! ❤❤❤
Julie, I'm just so happy for all the folks who are finding you - because they'll enjoy and learn from you just like I do! And you hit a terrific milestone today - hooray! The ladybug is a desktop vacuum cleaner, can you believe it? I've had it for years and it's so handy! I'll give it a spin on a video soon so everyone can see it in action.
Aha! I REALLY like this method. Not least because it also means that if I want to sew the envelope into the center of a signature, I can do that before I close up the sides... Wow, the possibilities... 🥰
Great idea, Anne! Envelopes are always useful! And these ones, we don´t have to measure anything! I love! How joyful is the "a-ha" moment! One more time, TFS all the tips!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hi Anne. I loved this. I have used napkins on card fronts but never thought of using them to decorate envelopes. Thanks so much for the inspiration. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Thanks so much, Brenda! I was so excited to find a variety pack of pretty napkins at the thrift store recently. I usually just craft with the used ones I tuck into my pocket after knitting group at my friend Peg's house! haha! Thanks for watching!
I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours! I never would have thought to open the envelope to line it! Or to use glue stick on a napkin. Thank you!
These lined envelopes are so lovely, Anne. Great creative work, as usual. Glad you enjoyed learning about the napkin-covered bottles. Sharing with you, my sister, gives me great joy! Love, Marge
That bird wrapping paper is so awesome! I use the tie dye spray in a mist & stack method for white paper putting different colors of copy paper in between. The colors bloom organically. I would feel the need to iron the paper if I didn't stack & flip...(the only thing that gets the iron around here is fabric lol!) Julie is a sweetheart, & I would want her to be my nurse too! Have a blessed day.
Thanks, Sonja - that's a super idea about combining different colors of copy paper to "bloom" - love it! I definitely do the spray-and-stack method when I coffee dye (I never bake them!) and I did iron these crumpled sheets from the tie-dye stuff - It all turned out great. Thanks so much for watching, I do appreciate it!
I really liked the tip for envelope lining and making the dyed paper. The use of the old thread spool as an ink dauber handle was a slick idea too. Wild Birds Unlimited is one of my happy places! I could listen to your voice for hours as I find it incredibly soothing. Off to subscribe to new friend Julie’s channel.😊Thanks Anne.
Your ideas are so much fun and turn out to be such beautiful pieces of art! I love how you’re able to repurpose what would otherwise be trash! I am one of the card makers you spoke of being new to your channel! I am excited about incorporating these ideas into my card-making. Right now I’m off to check out your friend Julie Torrens channel!😁💕
Thanks for the easy idea … lined envelopes were a struggle before. Also never thought of tie-die dye for paper! I have some from an unfinished project. I did use Easter egg dye this year and that worked great. TFS
Beautiful crafting Anne. Lovely to bring Julie T. to her goals. Are you watching P.M. artist studios here on RU-vid? She is BIG over there...not sure uf she had products with them I think maybe... CERI G. is also over with them and has products with them too! TFS ANNE! So elegant! LOVE =) B
Hey, hey, my friend! Yes, I know both Julie and the wonderful Ceri are in the PMAS community, but I've not gotten involved with that yet - I know I need to! I also need to order some of their fabulous stencils, they're far and away better than the cheap ones I find on Amazon! BTW, you inspired me to stop at a neighborhood estate sale on Saturday afternoon! Hugs to you!
@@annekenlon OMG ANNE...I love that!!! I hope you found a bargain...I'm getting ready to do a 2 week HAUL...not sure if you are into haul videos...not very crafty so perhaps not...that's just my next video or two. Catch you later! =) B
Very easy way to line envelopes yours are very pretty love map one thank you for sharing after Easter you can get egg dye for 10 cents great time to pick up I appreciate it all your videos and inspiration THEOLA
Thanks, Theola! I thought about getting some on-sale egg dye, but I still had so much of the tie-dye powder, as you could see! (strange, because we tie-dyed a LOT of stuff, and still had so much left over!) Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you so much, Sharon! Do have fun with the napkins - they really jazz things up! (and thanks for the personal comment, too - I must say, being a Grandma is my favorite thing in life! I'm so lucky!)
Laurel, I salute your tenacity in searching for that quip! I believe that line came from some late-night infomercial for one of those long grabby tools with a claw on the end. It was so obscure, but we had lots of nonsensical laughs over it back in the day - for reasons that elude me now!
