Thank you for this series! My brain freaked out when you crumpled up that GORGEOUS tissue paper!! But it will be a beautiful journal!! Love you!!

I KNEW I was saving all that used tissue paper for something!

I'm new to journals and found this vid extremely helpful.

I feel like I’m in an actual art class. Your personality really makes your demonstration so much easier to learn, Thanks!!! Terrific job!!!!

Yes, this and all your videos are so helpful to newbies! Your work is amazing!! And, the ideas just seem to flow out of you. So very talented.

Thanks Gayle for another great tutorial. I'm on catch up with all my favourite gals. Hey people what's there not to like about this very informative and educational video? I'm loving this series as it takes all the mystery out of how to create a professional product. Thank you again

The one with the lace looks like ruffles. Love it❤

“If you want perfection, you need to move along.” You crack me up!

The floral tissue cover is just incredible! Just love this video, I have a journal in mind that needs that green painters paper! Perfect!!

“Badda Bing Badda Boom!!!” 😂. You’re such a beautiful soul Gayle! This is exactly what I needed. I’ve got so much paper and envelopes now that I just bought and accumulated since I just started junk journaling to use, so journal covers it is. I love the faux brown leather cover. I wanted to make one for my hubby and didn’t know how to do faux leather, but I do now 😊. Thanks so much for an incredible video! ❤

Thank you Gayle. So much inspiration. I love your videos. Hugs and blessings.

Thanks Gayle. You got a lot done. Fantastic. Can't wait till the next one

Jog on, perfection seekers! This is que sera, sera and happy bumbling territory! 😂😘

I used one of these large envelopes. I covered it in fabric. To date it is my prettiest cover. This envelope makes a nice cover soft yet sturdy. Im going to get a few more at DT. My first was in the mail. Love the faux leather. Thank you for this Gayle.

Thank you so much Gayle. I have been watching your series and I have just given my first journal made from a Readers Digest to my best friend for her birthday. Happy birthday to you. Mine was on the first. I especially loved your craft room tour. You make beautiful journals and you do it in a small space. It gives me hope because my room is in transition.

Love this Gayle thank you so much for your inspiration. Love all of your work and always learn so much. Take care xxx

Thanks Gayle for this video. I too, appreciate the new ideas. You crack me up. Go see Spiderman! He's such a cute Spiderman! I love me some marvel movies too! You are indeed a kindred spirit!! Thanks so much for all you do! I start everyday with my Gayle videos!! Love it!!

Another great video. Just love listening to you. I’m learning so much. Makes me excited to try all these things. I have been dying paper in the container. Using plain paper and thin paper with 70’s designs on them. Tones them down a bit. It does take some time to dry but I spread them out on my porch, as soon as I can get them apart. Had some interesting results. Take care and enjoy your visit with your son.

I saw that movie...loved it and yes, spooky and a social commentary. Love your covers

I made one for a Christmas Journal, used brown packing paper and used a gel stain on the wrinkles. I also mix gel stain and water in a small spray bottle, spray on papers, comes out nice. I agree it does make a nice base for a Journal, great tutorial. I like the antique look and this does it. I also added a hit of a gold tone to it, used acrylic paint. I wrinkled my paper first, I didn’t want to tear it, love the floral tissue paper. I’m doing more tea dying papers, using coffee to make rings on the paper, watched Eve’s video where she did a ton of papers and sun dried them. Lucky my garage is hot enough. 👍🌻🌻🌻

Thank you for doing this series ❣️ Every-time you say how much time is left..I check right along with you 🤣😂 I loved the readers digest one..looks like you spilled the coffee and tried to clean it up LOVE IT❣️❣️ To me doesn’t look like a stencil ❣️ You know what, I see 6 thumbs down😡 I do not like that on my Gayle videos😡 People move along!! You keep doing YOU Gayle, never change.. Bless your heart❣️

Thank you gale you have started me on the road to journalling & I am loving your videos xx

What an interesting technique, thank you Gayle.

My very first journal cover was the faux leather on the 9 by 12 envelope you did a few years ago. I used Tim Holtz tissue paper and the brown stain. This brings back so many memories when I was learning how to make journals and following you Gayle, step by step!!!

THESE ARE AWESOME GAYLE . TFS YOU AWESOME CREATIVITY.

As always you are a good teacher! You make it easy enough for newbies to understand and interesting enough by throwing in ideas for those that have been doing it for awhile. Great job! Loving the envelope covers. 🦋❤️

Hi Gayle...beautiful beautiful beautiful!! 🌼🌸

I love this! Will definitely be making some of these!

Love this video! Definitely going to make these!

Brilliant. I’ve just done this for junk in the trunk this week ( not live yet). With napkin waste lol, and I’ve used purple where did that colour come from? Not in my normal palette at all. Xx

Always love this when you do it!!! Thanks Gayle!! You have A LOT of journals to make now that you have all these covers ready!!! Lol!!

I learn so much from you, Gayle. I love your artistry and your teaching style! This cover series is great - and this particular cover is simply brilliant. Thank you so much! Blessings!

the faux leather is perfect for a Halloween journal. Another project to do.....Thank you for this

The faux leather is wonderful! I think it would make classy looking tags as well...Janet

What nice starts to journals! I never thought to use 9X12 envelopes to make journal covers. Looks fairly easy to do with great results. Thanks, Gayle!

Thank again. Will be doing theses to have them ready . Excited to start 2020.

Thanks so much for this series. I struggle with covers other than using books. This faux leather is especially good for my style. Thanks again. You’re the best.

Getting my mod podge out again soon. That 'leather' technique is awesome, gonna be useful for when i want a more masculine look, baddabing baddaboom! thank you Miss G!

i watched your previous tutorial on these. i work with an individual with developemental disabilities. we were able to create a leather look journal for him that was more manly, lol. thanks Gayle, he was so happy.

Hey, that's a pretty neat trick! It's always great fun to try something new. ty. Hugs till next time!

Gayle thank u for an awesome video. I love envelope journals , now I have learned how to do a faux leather one.😍🌴

i am so glad you showed this again. i am getting ready to make a journal for my nephew and was wondering what to do for the cover and i think the leather look will be great!

Love this video. So much easier than the way I have done before! I just need to get some masking paper! Thanks so much for this video I needed this one!

Gayle these cover videos are so great. You have answered so many questions that I needed answered. It’s wonderful that we can go to one place and fine covers we want to make. The mix media is looking pretty good, I will have to admit, so you won that round. lol. That movie has so many curse words in it, I couldn’t watch it. The Lion King is more my style. The journal covers you made today are beautiful, I can’t wait to see you fill them up. ❤️

Hi Gayle, Really loving the series about Journal covers. This video using tissue papers and the masking papers is a great way to get a fair number of Journal covers done in a short period of time. Just love that idea! Thanks for being such an inspiration and just love your commentary! 😂

Love this technique, thanks for sharing

I'm going to try this method on a composition book. I was trying to figure out how to make it look like leather for a gift for my brother in law. Thx so much. Really enjoyed watching your method.

I love how you do these covers. They come out gorgeous. Of course I am playing catch-up on my video watching.Thank you for this collection.of videos, they are very informative.💞😍

Wow, love this process...will make great covers for a man's journal (of which I have 3 to do for my brothers). Gayle, thank you for sharing your "know how" with us. I very much enjoy watching your videos and learn something with every one!

Hi Gayle, saw off that long handle, it is easy and then you'll love using it! Loved the video. I scrunch my paper up tight, then unroll and that makes a lovely surface, and I mod podge over the whole thing again.. x

The flower tissue paper cover is soooo gorgeous! 🌺🌹💐🥰

Good morning Gayle, this is a perfect way to start my Sunday morning. Great tutorial! tfs

You are Amazing! Thank you for showing us all these techniques. I am going to Home Depot now to get that paper.

Loving the green cover would make a wonderful fern journal Think I’ll be making one. Thanks Gayle for all the lessons never too old to learn...lol 🤣 Hugs

Tfs Gayle! Saw Aladdin today, it was excellent!

Great job loved it.

I loved this Gayle. I love 1 signature journals. I saw a YT, where they put a bit of strong coffee in their Mod Podge. Haven’t tried it, just a 2nd hand FYI. 😊

Love all these journal covers such fantastic ideas. Thanks for the video! I would like to see that movie "Once upon a time in Hollywood" it looks interesting.

Your increase in subscriptions must be to do with the quality of your videos and your crafting. I find it so relaxing and informative watching. From Oxford England.

Great new series. I am kind of in love with this technique. Love the antique process. I am now wondering what umber would look like. So many ideas. Thanks Gayle. xoxo

Love this❤️
