This is absolutely one of the most brilliant crafting ideas I've ever seen! I bought a Kraft Paper card set aabout 2 years ago, created a lot of 3D-cards, which where no longer fitting into the envelopes. Now I had a whole bunch of envelopes which were useless. Now the finally have a purpose. Can't thank you enough for sharing this with us.

This is just beautiful as always. I love your art but mostly I love how nice you are and how encouraging you always are to us. I have never done a mixed media project but have gotten things to start and even though I have no idea what I’m doing I listen to you and feel I can so thank you Even though my babies are in their 40 I remember those sleepless nites. It will get better enjoy the baby while you can it goes by so fast hugs

This is a spectacular piece !!!! There is no such thing as a waste of papers while making a base for our creations. I like what quite a few artists have said about rules "The first rule is there are no rules".!!! We each do our own thing. I hate naysayers and trolls. If you dont like something just go your way and don't leave thumbs down or hutrtful coments !!!!

So pretty Marta! So many things have changed and your girls are growing so quickly! You are as sweet and wonderful then as you are now! This is so beautiful! You are so talented!

This was awesome! I am contemplating trying this with my 2 granddaughters! Not only can we enjoy creating something beautiful but get to spend wonderful time together! I love spending time with you while you create such beauty!

Beautiful garden creation. Love the use of the stencil in the background.

Gorgeous! For those who are concerned about "wasting" the cards and envelopes. ..this could easily be done by recycling junk mail and product packaging. The gesso could be tinted with paint or ink to make it tan or other color if the recyled bits aren't a color they desire.

Bonjour, c est toujours avec un réel plaisir que je regarde vos vidéos, vos créations sont sublimes, le choix des couleurs harmonieux.

I love it Marta. I love how you use the black. It gives it an aged look but the colors still pop. The bird cages are a beautiful touch. You are still my favorite teacher Marta when it comes to mixed media. Everytime I buy my granddaughter new clothes I save all the tags. I have two bags full now and I think about you everytime. 😊 I hope you & your family have a Happy Easter! God bless you. Thank you again for another beautiful tutorial. Blessings & Hugs, Linda 😊❤

I love the look the white gesso gives to the folds of the envelopes even though you eventually covered most of them up. Depending on what direction another project goes, an open envelope would make a really cute vase for long stemmed flowers.

I have been watching your videos now for about a year. I love watching you create beautiful projects. This was so beautiful. I love your touches of the wood embellishments. So pretty. Congratulations on your new little one. Hopefully she will be sleeping for you through the night soon. I remember those days. Happy Easter to you and your family.

Love it! The chipboard tops it off!

Thank you for inspiring me so much! I haven't been able to create anything really for 8 years due to bereavement and now I am having a baby too I have felt more creative than ever but haven't known how to get back into artwork but I have missed it so much. I think you have finally kickstarted the end of my mental block! I love the fact that you are finding time for you to create with your newborn baby and have told them to go off for a walk!! Amazing!! You are officially my idol and will make the rest of my pregnancy (3 months to go) and probably the late nights a lot easier. Xxx

It's a pleasure to watch you create! Thank you!

Fabulous Marta, I’m so glad your family give you the time to recover your senses from having little Hannah! It helps sooooo much to know you are a person again for a few minutes to spare for yourself, you are not just Mum but YOU with imagination and the power to make something beautiful from card , envelopes and lots of imagination! It is truly beautiful and thank you for making us happy and for sharing your talent! Big hugs 🤗 and happy Easter 🐣💖💖💖

Beautiful project, feels so much like spring and a garden, thank you

I love this. Those flowers look dimensional, I can't believe they are flat to the page! Your mixed medium work is my absolute favorite. Thank you for sharing you!

You make me so happy because there are no roadblocks...thank you!

Love your pages and don't even mind watching you fussy cut - there is something very satisfying about it isn't there? Anyway thank you for the inspiration! 💜

A month already , for your precious addition !!! I know how much work it is to have new baby , several years after # 1 !!!! Bless your family !! I SO enjoyed this morning's tutorial journey with you !!! I have been reticent in purchasing. Posca pens , but after watching you this morning , I am jumping in with the cost !! Thank you again !! Take care . Joyous Easter to you and family !

This is so beautiful Marta. I love the flowers and the gorgeous and bright rainbow of colours. Creating a page with flat decoupage using napkins, rice paper or discourage paper is a lovely technique. I enjoyed watching your video, it was lovely that you got a bit of time to create while the family enjoyed their walk with Hannah.Happy Easter to you and the family xx

Gorgeous. Love your idea with the base!!!

Absolutely gorgeous

OMG! Gorgeous piece of art. You are very easy to listen to. You are so calm and I love to watch your channel. Thanks for sharing.

Wow the result is so unexpected and original! Beautiful!

I love what you've done with cards and envelopes, never would've thought of this. It's such a beautiful piece, love it! Congratulations on the birth of baby , she sounds so cute in the background.

This was sensational, I have the brown craft cards that I usually Zentangle on, I can’t wait to try this, I’ll play the video again while I’m crafting, love having you at the table with me.

I am so pleased you can find the time to share with us.... you are a very busy lady these days.... look after yourself.... and I love what you have done here...thank you

So beautiful. You can use anything and make it beautiful…always💜

I can hardly wait to use envelopes as you did. Such a unique creation, Marta! I ordered a lot of napkins a while back and they have four pictures to each napkin so I can make many art pieces. I am excited. Thanks for the inspiration!!

So beautiful! Like a spring garden!

Love it.. Looks like a hanging garden... Truely magical....

Lovely and so imaginative! Who would think that 2 kraft cards and envelopes would be such a perfect background? You inspire me every time! Big hugs to you. Happiest Easter to you and your precious family.

You are so inspiring to me! At first I wasn't sure about this page with the rice paper florals. It is kind of difficult to do the color for me. Knowing when to stop is the key! I really enjoy watching you and trying it myself! Thank you so much for this new video, Marta! It truly is beautiful!! Oh, and your nails look fabulous! Love love love it!

BEAUTIFUL Marta! Colors and florals are so gorgeous. Thank you for all the projects and creativity that you share here on YT! Glad you can still enjoy some free time to create so you can share with all of us. One day soon, I'm going to start doing some of these projects you share. I have enough basic things to start.....just a matter of getitng the courage to do so. LOL

Beautiful I love it thanks for sharing crafting hugs 😊

Love it!!!! Congratulations on the new baby, Marta!!!❤️

Beautiful, Marta!!!

This is gorgeous! I love how the black made such a dramatic difference.

Your art work is beautiful. Congratulations on your little bundle of joy too.

You are correct, it is beautiful

Lovely. Your Visuals and Verbal Instructions were very helpful. Very Informative and Very Creative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

Interesting to watch this now since Hannah was only a month old when you did this video. Now she is 11 months, I think. It was great to watch this again, since I just got a package of napkins that I ordered from eBay. I also bought Mod Podge at the store, so I am all set to use floral sections of the napkins for my focal point. This video has also been an excellent review of using sprays for adding color. I like how you use the tube from the ink spray bottle as your "paint brush". I love how this project turned out for you. You have inspired me to use my napkins which I actually bought for decoupaging some glassware that I got at a second hand shop. I might see if I can add some of my Nuvo mousse in addition to using the ink sprays. Perhaps I will have to save that for another project. I just need to start using it! I have had it nearly a year and not used it. Sigh. I also have distress crayons, gelatos, watercolors, water pencils, and Perfect Pearls to use. New mediums intimidate me. Blessings to all of you! Congratulations on organizing your studio! I am now doing the same. What an inspiration you are, Marta!

This is so gorgeous Marta!💖

Beautiful piece. Love those rice papers.

Beautiful work! Love it 😍

Love your talent, congratulations on your sweet new baby, and have a happy Easter.

It is beautiful!! Enjoy your little baby!!

Thank you Marta for being such a caring person :) You took time out of your own time to make a video for us. I can't thank you enough, Jordan :)

I am slowly making my way through your videos and I am definitely inspired by this one. I have saved it so I can rewatch and craft with you as I was fussy cutting mostly while listening. So much great creative content, thanks for sharing x

It's so beautiful Marta. I hope you catch up on your sleep soon. Happy Easter x

I am speechless, it’s amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a brilliant idea and it turned out absolutely gorgeous

Wow, so beautiful Marta, I get lost in your work, its like I'm in a trance, and then all too soon you say goodbye. Thank you so much for sharing this with us... rita

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the way it turned out. I wouldn't have thought to use the cards and envelopes in this way, but it is wonderful.

Another amazing work of art so love this.

So happy to be waking up to you again! I truly adore this. It's on my list. Thank you so much for sharing your precious time with us. Have a Blessed Easter💛💛💛

Superbe réalisation bravo merci 🦋🦋

Lovely....Beautiful beautiful work

Fabulous! I'll be making one. It's gorgeous! So nice to watch you and listen.

I have just watched this and I am in awe of what you do. I live in New Zealand and our supplies are limited. I use amazon sometimes for stamps etc but really have to make do with what I can find here. I never thought of using anything other than the ' normal ' canvas or paper. This allows me to let my imagination run wild. Thank you for sharing 🤗

Absolutely stunning! You are truly an inspiration for so many of us! Thank you for continuing to create amazing art💖💖

I laughed on your reaction to the chalk marker -- that's how I feel all the time on art products I think I'm buying -- those chalk markers are actually great for using in the classroom -- and on those dry erase boards. I have a friend who is a physicist, why we are friends, I have no idea; I feel smart in math because I know the 9 times table -- ha -- but he loves them -- so much cleaner than regular chalk on the boards -- if you still don't like it, donate it to Em's school -- the teachers will be grateful -- I love how this project turned out - and I watched because -- I just bought kraft paper to make an art journal using only kraft paper -- love your channel; you are so inspirational !!!

Love it!!! It is so much spring like colors.

Wow! Just Love the way you can pull it all together...and make it look easy too??? Thanks Marta. Have a Happy Easter

Amazing creative process Marta. You are always an inspiration. Enjoy your quiet time and grab some extra sleep too. ♥️♥️

I had to do different things for a while, but I love how familiar it feels to watch a video by you again. Great project. Congratulations on the baby for all of your family and I am already inspired to do new projects myself, so thank you for that! Sander.
