I am grateful that wonderful ladies like her, take the time to teach others to make beautiful crafts.

The best part of being sick today has been being able to sit and binge watch your videos! You have totally made my day! Thank you!

I have a free day and I get to make faux front envelopes! Thanks for the inspiration, your work and your encouragement is much appreciated.

I was having a creative block trying to do pretty and loaded tags. Feeling a bit distraught, I decided to watch Auto Play of videos, beginning with the first tutorial you did connecting envelopes and decoupaging! WOW! I took a break from my studio, came back and resumed Auto Play! Wella! A second Tutorial - Faux Front Envelopes! If you only knew how many envelopes I have been holding onto and collecting you'd have to wonder why I was stuck on making TAGs that was become a chore to make into reality!!! Next time, I think. I will finish the one tag I started this morning. Thanks to your inspiration, I will very soon be making the Faux Front Envelopes. I had all the same supplies already on my work desk. Just had to change my focus!!! I am so happy, happy, happy! Thank you, Gayle. Love the videos. And when you mention your retreats I wish I knew enough folks in my area to join in on that idea, too.

Wow!!! So beautiful! Your video took the "mystery" out of how to also create tucks & pockets for junk journals. You made this look sooooooo easy.

Oh Gayle, These were started years ago in the Happy Mail & Snail Mail Pen Pal community because I started out watching those videos while I was recovering from my mastectomy, emergency surgery, then osteoporosis so bad I could barely walk before the junk journal videos started coming out, which they called these Envelope Flip Books & the many different awesome & beautifully created ones they did, some like the ones you've done in this video, some even more creatively done & some just very simple, were then filled in the envelope pockets, little cellophane bags, etc. with ephemera, other goodies & a note to the lucky recipient, then mailed off. Also, I am in no way trying to be mean, nasty or upset you, I'm just being honest by letting you know that these are not new, that they were done years ago & sent out as Happy Mail. Take care & stay safe, Lily

This is awesome Gayle! I think this video needs to be seen again by everyone! I love it and will be making many. Thank you 😍

I crafted along with you, on faux front envelope......you did it slow enough for me to follow,,,yaaay for me,will make more of them.....yup once one gets started there’s no end.......to ones imagination.....which you are one of the crafters with wonderful ideas..Thank you....

What a FABU idea! I have a few boxes of blank invitation envelopes that are the perfect size for this project. I'll give it go. Thank you Gayle for all your creative ideas you share with us. Yolie

This is the best idea I've seen in hundreds of videos!!! Thank you for taking the time to make the video before you even bothered to unpack. I'm so stoked to try this--both the closure and the faux front part!

This tutorial Gayle is very helpful especially at this time of year. Very cool idea. Can’t wait to start my own soon. Also you are a wonderful teacher to learn from.

Love all what you do !!! You inspire me to make things !!! Love to watch all your videos!!! You explain everything so it is easy to follow along!!! Thank you for all your beautiful work!!!

Love watching your videos Gayle, and hearing you chuckle 😂 you are AMAZING....thanks so much.....love this 👌☘😘

SO MUCH FUN!!! LOVE this idea, thanx so much for your willingness to share it!

These are great. Nice size envelope for a card, or a gift card or to stash some stamps. I've been making something similar for my car. I called them 'car wallets'. I keep stamps, a few little note pads, return address labels and even put some safety pins and needle and thread in one of the pockets! I'm always needing something like that in my car as I run around doing errands. I like the size of yours and boy, do I have a big stash of envelopes to use! Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh my gosh!!!... too adorable!!! Thank you so much for sharing Gayle.

I came across this video by accident. Though I don't make journals, I do love to make cards! This is genius!

Love the envelopes decorated with flaps and pockets! Super cool!

That’s a great idea! I’m going to predict that this is the next big swap idea! Very cool! Love this idea. 💙💙💙

These are very cute, they are easier so maybe even I could make one. Thank you for this idea and video. I am trying to look at all you videos I am learning so much. Thank you again. 💜

How exciting! Something new and different! Love your ideas!

Thank you so much for always sharing your wonderful ideas. Love love love this 🤗😍

Just recently discovered your video's. Love, love, love your creativity and sharing your beautiful talent. I am new to the Junk Journal world and your video's are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. 😊🥰

Beautiful, wow!! Love. Love, Love!! xoxo

How adorable and so creative. Can't wait to do one. Thanks, keep the ideas coming.

Love, Love, Love these! thank you for sharing..........so many envelopes to use up. Really liked the papers you were using too.

I love these! I just saw your more recent one and you pointed us back to this. So fun. I think I need to create some happy mail for the elderly folks at church who have been encouraged not to come to services during the covid-19 scare. Some of them already live a somewhat isolated life and now they are even more isolated. These actually go pretty quick so maybe I could get a few done and start sending them out. It might brighten their day a little. Thanks for the inspiration.

I made 3 of the faux front envelope and love them, thank you for sharing. Love watching your videos!

Really love these!

Oh how I love this!

Just completed my first faux front envelope, using one piece of card stock and a ratty old envelope, just to get a grasp of the technique. I am stoked with how it turned out. I even used the scraps to reinforce the back, which turned out as nice as the front. Not as marvellous as yours, Gayle, but it's a start. Thankyou for sharing, I loved putting this together.

Love this idea so I had to try it right away. It’s 4:30 in the morning and I wasn’t quite as awake as I thought I was. Twice it marked the paper and cut it wrong. However I love the finished product. Thank you so much.

Adorable! And you are a pleasure to listen to and watch!
