You're such an inspiration, I love listening and watching while my brain is like mumbling my own ideas inspired by your talent.... thank for sharing! So much to learn!
My husband and I did the same as your parents. He was from Australia and I am American. We courted by 'snail mail' because that was in the days before e-mail. He has passed away now, and our courtship via letters are in a large box. I love this tutorial. Thank you for getting my brain thinking on how I might use my own letters.
Nazy, this heirloom collection is so beautiful. I love the originality of the idea and as always your particular style on everything that you create. I will try to get the bohemian this time, very pretty the way you put the fabric samples. I'm excited to take this class once is up since I would love to see all the magic that goes into this collection. I'm amazed of how you transform those envelopes. I have many letters from decades ago that I cherish about love and dreams and I thank you for bringing back the importance of letters to the new generation and also for sharing your techniques in your classes. Blessings to you! 💕
Your right on about the feelings brought on from old letters that were written by family - my dad recently sent me a letter from the late 1800's that was written by my great grandfather to my great mother the night they become engaged. My great grandfather worked for the railroads in Atlanta doing telegraphs and he typed it up on 4 sheets of telegraph paper - he must have had to go to work that night after proposing to her. I have never read such a love letter in my life - I couldn't believe my eyes - I printed up a scan of it - in it's faded colors and all and I carry it with me everyday. It actually brought me to tears. My grandmother was 1 of 4 children born to these great grandparents of mine - she was born in 1902. In 1907 my great grandfather died of a burst appendix - something people generally don't die of today. My great grandmother raised all those young children as a widow. The letter must have been held on tight by my great grandmother for decades and decades until she died in the early 1960s. The letter was folded up in a way that it was worn from being folded and opened repeatedly - she must have cherished it so much and held it close for it to have survived all those years. She never remarried. My great grandmother must have passed it down to my grandmother and then my dad got it. This letter is priceless to me - worth so much more than any material thing I own. I also have a box of postcards and cards that both sets of my grandparents wrote to me as a kid when they traveled around and cards they sent on birthdays - my grandparents are long gone now but on rough days sometimes I rummage through them. Beautiful envelopes - I need to learn how to make them so all my letters have a pretty place to live instead of being in a box.
This is so lovely! My husband were apart for 11 months before we got married. We were on internship in college. We saw each other one time that year, wrote 3 letters a week and of course mailed them as it was 1980-81. We planned our wedding before we left and got married a week after we returned. We even recorded some cassette tapes to each other. Calling from island to island was way too expensive and this was before cell phones and email. I wish we had saved all the letters.
Oh my goodness Teri, your story is one for the books! I am so grateful you shared this with me as these are the stories that inspire the best creations! I can only imagine what treasures your cassettes tapes are, it would be a great anniversary present to create a set of your own heirloom envelopes where you go back in time and reconnect with the wonderful memories between your husband :) thank you so much for sharing my sweet friend! I loved hearing your story!
You are so welcome. It really is a treasure. I think it's something that in our modern world is lost and hopefully some will learn to connect in this way. It's really true courtship in a way. 💜
What an amazingly beautiful original idea!! Love all the sets but especially the Oceans Apart Blue Collection. I would be so honored to win your class and learn how you transform such ordinary items into a cohesive amazing collection.
Your creative ideas are so awesome. You are so great at your work. I think my favorite journal is the blue bohemian one. I look forward to your classes. TFS
As an author, I'm fascinated by stationery, journaling, and envelopes. I love to write in my own penmanship, and I thoroughly enjoy the story that goes with your creations. I was close to my grandmothers. I enjoy your videos & I love these!!
These are simply stunning! I’m truly in awe of the transformation of a stark white envelope into these beautiful works of art. My favorite two are the bohemian and the sea! Looking forward to the class!
How incredibly beautiful! So vintage shabby chic! No one out there does this quality, attention to detail! I guess you can tell I love everything! Thanks for sharing!
Every video I watch of yours I’m more and more amazed of your talent. Not only are you so very talented but a great story teller and I can tell you have a heart of gold. Your parents must be extremely proud of you. I wish a had an ounce of your talent! 💕💕💕
Wow, Nazy! What lovely creations - again, you leave me speechless. To pick a favorite, how is that even possible? Any of them would be a treasure, but I think I love the father/daughter one the most...considering what a ‘daddy’s girl’ I was before his death in 1996. Thank you for sharing these amazing creations! *hugs* Oh!!! Classes coming - awesome sauce! Looking forward to that - thanks miss Nazy!
You are such a smart, talented young lady. I wish you well in your new classes and all you do. Being a grandmother I choose it as my favorite. But you have really outdone yourself with all of them. Bless you.
I just realized this was a give away...Oh my, I want the class...I want the envelopes...I just desire to hold these close to my heart! Your gentle love for these is apparent in each separate envelope. May the Lord bless the works of your hands!
What a divine presentation! Your work is sublime. The Grandma's journal absolutely invaded my soul. All of your collections really touched me. But, sewing, letters to a granddaughter in exquisite paper art!!! Wow! I will never have a granddaughter, but this was my dream. In those dreams, her name was Katherine Elizabeth. I wanted to teach her about the things I love. I create Victorian crazy quilts. I had hoped to teach her the intricate embroidery and beadwork. I even had fabric and lace saved for her. Maybe too fantastical, but dreams keep me going. I can't wait to take your classes. You are such an inspiration.🌹
This is so creative and beautiful. I found the bohemian one gourgeos. I love reds. And the idea of adding little journals.... fabulous. What a great idea to make a class so that we can be inspired as wel. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea! I really like the vintage feel and the variety of sizes and shapes. Makes the collection feel more real. I like the father daughter collection set best.
Beautiful sets of envelopes Nazy. Choosing a favorite is difficult but I think that the ocean/blue set wins for me. The colors are striking. I look forward to the class!
These envelopes remind me of treasures that would be found in a special box tucked away many years ago, hopefully we all have the good fortune to find one day...they truly are special.
Nazy, this is a fabulous idea, deconstructing a journal! Love the inspiration story behind the idea as well. As always your work is gorgeous, love each pack they're beautiful... I really love the 'Perisian Love' & 'Grandmother' sets, I have a very special bond with my grandmother, I'm very lucky to have her still with me at 87 year's of age... tfs your work, it's always a pleasure to watch your video's, looking forward to the release of your course as well... xox Fi
Hello! I stumbled across your channel a couple of days ago and left the window open since I wasn't able to watch right away. I did have a chance to hear a bit of the intro and was magnetized! Later...settled in with coffee to watch and I have to tell you I'm spellbound! Gorgeous designs and such inspiration. Love the mix of papers, fabric and beading. I have two favorites, first choice would be Bohemian Dreams as it reminds me of my little gypsy sister who seemed to always be so free and lackadaisical! I miss her and know she's what inspires my love for vintage, whimsical, fabric and paper art! She was always a wanderer and I was the one that needed an address! It so resonated with me and took me to that happy place. Ocean's Apart with the beautiful blues, fishing and mermaid adventure. Fantasy is so much fun at any age...don't you think!? Your work is stunning and has such a peaceful calming effect on me. So glad I found you and look forward to going back to review videos and forward to see the fabulous journey to come! Good Day! Debbie from East Texas
Love the whole collection the grandmother is my favorite I have letter from my father to my grandmother while he was away in the military. It was just the two of them my father was very young. My grandmother could be in the far way places that my father's travels took him through the wonderful letters he sent her, you could read the love and between mother and son. Best of all all the letters are in Spanish starting out with the same greeting ( mamasita) I can here your voice how it almost cracks with love when you talked about the granddaughter and grandmother
These are stunning! I love the beautiful combination of paper and stitching and fabric. I can imagine finding these buried in a battered trunk in an old gothic mansion - they’re so full of mystery and heart.
Nazy, I adore your concept of deconstructing the journal to an envelope form...of course I would adore something made by you. I have been admiring you and your work for some time now...I think you have a magical way of introducing your products and sharing with others...I love the stories you come up with in your work as well. I am old enough to be your grandma, but am learning so much from you! Thank you for sharing...I just recently was given letters from my mom and dad that had been kept by my oldest sister, who passed on to a better world a few months ago and feel as if I've been given the most amazing treasure...I believe you really do have a "sweet and caring" heart...it feels so genuine...wishing you the best!! Ronda without an H...lol
I am in love with "oceans apart"! Not only am I obsessed with the color blue, but I have a huge fascination with the sea. It's truly an untapped world that we will never fully understand
Loved loved loved the father - daughter letters. Resonated so much with me. Lost my dad 3 years ago but he is still the person who made me who I am today. I'm so thankful for his love and what a lovely way you've created to remember feeling and memories. Thank you
Stunning,creative and such a treasure. Beautiful work. Incorporating touches of replicated age! Such inspiration to the viewers! Can't wait to attempt this and purchase from you!
Hi Nazy, was Oh my goodness! I really love these. As I was watching each collection I was wishing that you would create a mermaid or ocean theme and then there it was! I love the story as it is close to mine. My dad was a merchant marine and would tell me stories about life on the ship. He was a wonderful story teller and I would find any excuse to encourage another story. Thanks for creating such wonderful reminders of how important it is to stay connected to family and loved ones. Love, Millie
Oh Millie!!! It was as if the story was created especially for you! This is exactly why I create stories that are open and relatable so that one can see their own life reflected through the creations. Thank you so much for sharing this with me Millie as these are the moments that I treasure - if it wasn't for our family and loved ones we would not be the type of person we are today, sending much love to you my dear friend!
Nazy, your love and appreciation for the past is beautiful. What a wonderful way to express that love--by recreating the papers, and the textures and the stories. I hope to be a lucky recipient at 5pm EST today....
I am sure that I am like many, I will watch this video over and over. Kind of like a great dessert....one just can't stop with one piece. I can only hope that some day I will create pieces as lovely as you. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us to think outside our own scope of creation. I shop second hand stores and antique stores for letters and cards such as the ones you have been blessed to see that belonged to your parents....I truly can't imagine.....and when I sit and read these letters or cards I visualize the setting in which the sender and receiver are in.....and try to bring them to life. In some cases I can't imagine a family not wanting to hold on to these valuable precious mementos. Perhaps they do not know of these vintage journals that we create....and do no realize there is a medium to display and flip thru and take a walk down memory lane. Which is one reason I love to share "what a junk journal is" with folks that have not heard of them. One of my most precious ones is of tidbits from my childhood, with my parents....stories....hopefully as I grow old I can glance back at these memories with much love. You are gifted....and I thank you for sharing your talent with us.
This really resonated with me. As technology advances the art of communicating by letter becomes ever more precious. Some of my most treasured things in the world have my mother and fathers handwriting in them. Thank you for this beautiful way of expressing that emotion in your wondrous art.
Love the looks of these as well when you open them and take out the papers, you hear the crinkles of the envelope 💕 really love the stories you share when you make these, it has much more impact of interest in them and uniqueness
These are each so very beautiful in their own way, and all are so very inspiring. It is difficult to choose a favorite! The "Bohemian Dreams" reminds me of my sister as well, and how we are both so different and yet so close. "Oceans Apart" speaks to me so much too! Just the emotives that this theme evokes is so very inspirational, and I love all of the hues of blue and gold, and I love that you were able to make the papers look as if they were washed by time. Absolutely gorgeous 😍 Thank you so much for sharing and always inspiring! Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot in this course, that is so exciting!!!
Beautiful! It's hard to chose a favorite. They are all so beautiful. But the two that spoke to me the most was the Oceans apart because I love blue and I was very close to my Dad. He passed away recently and I miss him very much. This is a great idea to keep the little mementos he has gifted me and to write down my memories of him. I have been going through those memories in my mind a lot lately. (Now I am going to change the subject before I cry.) And the Parisian love is also one that speaks to me. My grandmother was born and raised in Paris. She was such a elegant and beautiful person. She had a wonderful style. So anything Parisian tugs at my heart.
So..... Unique! Elegantly created, imaginative stories, works of Art, that you just want to hold, and look thru, time after time! Hoping I'm lucky enough to purchase one. Grandmother/Granddaughter touches my heart. As my Grandmother raised me! Ty, for sharing of yourself Nazy! You have a beautiful Soul! ;). XO
This is a divine collection! Reminds of when I was younger and I used to write letters to my great aunt who had cancer. I would send her poems and drawings. And I always got so excited when I would check the mail and see a letter from her!
Awe thank you Marisa!!! I feel like a kid who is waiting for christmas lol! I am way TOO EXCITED to share my heirloom envelope class with you all! I can't create anything if it doesn't have a special meaning to me and knowing that this wonderful family loves what I create - its such a humbling and amazing feeling! Thank you so much for your sweet words!
Omg I have never seen anything so beautiful. I learned to sew on my mother old treadle machine at 8 yrs old. Still love to sew . This is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I love your stories. So wish I could afford to buy one. Such a treasured heirloom style. I absolutely adore this. Keep creating I love to watch.
Oh my gosh girl!!! You just continue to blow me away with your creations. Looking at it all is candy for my eyes! Lol. I can't even choose a favorite. It' all truly stunning. Bloom on!
This is fantastic, I love the envelope art so much! My favorit would be the 'grandmother's love envelope set'. My grandmother was very special to me. When I was 8 years old, I was very ill and wrote a letter to my grandmother, asking if she would come and visit me. Which ofcourse she did... She died on my 18th birthday and I inheritated her coffee cabinet. And in one of the drawers there was my letter... I still have it. In the other drawer there were several nail scissors and I noticed they were all different. That's when my scissors collection started... Thank you for sharing your beautiful work of art, Loes
You have touched my heart!!! I am the grandmother of two granddaughters and this is something I would love to make for them. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Beautiful, Nazy! You have been busy indeed, making more beautiful, inspired art! I like the story of the two sisters best - the fortune tellers. ❤️ xx Lynn
So many wonderful memories are flooding into my thoughts as I watch you sharing your beautiful pages. Like your parents, my husband and I fell in love through the mail. I kept all the letters he sent me over the 2 years we wrote and my daughter found them. Like you, it brought her to a very different appreciation for our story over the nearly 45 years together. Then the relationship with my beautiful grandchildren, so special...AND we share journal gifts! The most recent on our family vacation. The next journal is the one I am working on for my granddaughter turning 16 this year, it will be so special. Truly overwhelming emotions. Hopefully this all makes sense!! Thank you Nazy, such authentic love and genuine passion comes through in everything you share. XO
Ohhh you are an old soul with such a passionate, romantic ❤️ heart. These are gorgeous! I’ll take them all 😊. Your work is like reading a treasured book, getting to know each character. Love love these!!
I just love how you have a story to go along with the most beautiful envelopes I've ever seen. They are all just perfect and your love of what you do shows in all your work. I have a true love for Paris, so my favorite is the wedding one with French quotes.
All your collections are beautiful, it's very hard to pick a favorite!! However at this time the one with grandmother speaks to my heart. My daddy is dying of leukemia, he won't be with us much longer. That collection reminds of all the things that dad would pass on to each of his children and grandchildren if it were possible for him to do so. You do beautiful work, and it's so sweet of you to share it with us. Thank you.
Nazy, what joy! Love the sentiment of the letters from the Grandmother to her granddaughter, the hope of the Bohemian Dream letters, but having just lost my Dad, the idea of letters to a daughter touched me in a special way. Can’t wait for the class. Crafty xoxo Michelle
You continue to outdo yourself with your imagination and creativity! Love to watch your videos. I actually love them all! The mermaid one was gorgeous! Thank you.
Wow...this is such an original and fantastic idea Nazy!!! Stunning!!! And thank you for the chance to win being part of the class...I'm sorry I missed when they went on sale!! Just beautiful!! xo
Beautiful. I love all of the tiny touches you've added. Every detail shows your thought process and the heart you've put into the journal.Creative Blessings!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful collections. Your creativity is amazing and what wonderful way to express it. Your enthusiasm is inspiring and is very evident in these wonderful papers and embellishments.
I love how you have a story for each project you create. Love, love the envelops. They are so beautiful each set of envelops. Thank you for sharing. Love watching your videos.
OMGosh Nazy, this project is amazing! I have letters and ephemera that we’re sent to my grandmother from her son while he was serving in the Navy during WWII. He was killed in action but these letters leaves a legacy. You have captured that same feeling in your beautiful work. Simply stunning! It will be a lucky person who wins your class.
Oh my Nazi! These are absolutely beautiful! I’m ecstatic to hear that you’re putting a class up to teach us how to make them too! I’m obsessed with the Bohemian one (of course!) seeing that I myself am a bohemian lady/mystic. I’ll be stalking your Etsy shop until 5pm! Lol. Have a happy Sunday love! ✨🔮🌙
Yes Ananda! My fellow bohemian sister! No worries hun if for whatever reason you cannot purchase the bohemian dreams heirloom set then the classes will teach you how you can create one of your own :) Sending you much love and creative vibes your way!!
I used to have one of those little cameo hat pins years and years ago. Beautiful envelopes! I love them all. I especially love the one with the two parts you can put ephemera in with the definition of what a Grandmother is. My grand-daughter just informed me that I’m going to be a great-grandmother this year! 😀😘. I love all your work!♥️
Nazi you never cease to amaze me with your amazing creations! These are gorgeous!! I LOVE your style and all the love and thought you put into each of your creations! Thank you for sharing with us and I look forward to the class! Love!
This is a beautifully classic concept, well thought out and executed with your brilliant style! I adore the art of handwriting and letter writing. Thank you for bringing these art forms back in your unique way.
Hi Nazy, your creativity never ceases to amaze me! The grandmother-granddaughter set appeals to me the most because I lost my grandmother 16 years ago and I still think about her all the time...
The Grandmothers Love collection is my favorite. Being a Grandma is the greatest gift! I was thinking of my five granddaughters as you described the set. These are beautiful, Nazy! Lucky will be the winners of your class! You have such a beautiful style. So kind of you to do the giveaway. ❤️
My sister just got married and I had made her a wedding journal to keep memories from the time leading up to and right after her wedding. I love your wedding set of envelopes! It is another great way to do the same thing! Just like finding a stack of envelopes and letters a relative wrote, years later...these would be cool to find, all filled up with notes and journaling years later as well! Great Idea!!!
Lovely idea. The letter idea is even more important now that letter writing is becoming rare as people use facebook, cell phones and other social media. I cherish my parents letters during WWII and my husband and my letters while he was in the army and in Turkey and Viet Nam.Thank you for creating these and for your giveaway. Diane
P.S. I forgot yo mention that I cannot really pick a favorite collection. They are all precious. If I had to choose, perhaps the first one or the Bohemian. Thanks again. Diane
Your talent is amazing. All the love and detail of each journal speaks to your love for this craft. Like so many have commented before, they are all astonishingly beautiful. I believe I would pick Parisian Love as my favorite.
OMGoodness Nazy, these are just the most beautiful "Heirloom" Envelope collections. You possess a very unique and innate ability to create these very authentically antique looking items. And that is only surpassed by your old world imagination. Creativity at it's best. I would take your class if I could afford to. I'm a true "Bohemian" (but not Gypsy lol) having a Czech ancestry. So, like you, it is a fav subject and I love creating in that style as well.
I'm very happy that I discovered your chanel. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The envelopes are full of treasures. I really like your use of textiles. I have so many projects that I sewed, that I crocheted and knitted. I also have earrings, and bracelets that I made. I will now be able to incorporate all of them in my handmade journals. Thank you for your wonderful ideas.
Oh I am so in LOVE with your work and this idea is so wonderful!I am still saving letters from my ex because there is huge part of my life and I love to read it sometimes.More than go to journal..exactly how you said..the open envelope is already bringing memories to my mind...waw girl your creativity is outstanding! Thank you so much for all your ideas and sharing your stunning work with us xx
Ooo, these are so creative and gorgeous! Stunning artistic mind, Nazy! I like them all but the bohemian dreams is my favourite with the ocean blue following close behind. Thank you for sharing these; It's always so inspiring to see your work.
You are such a wise old soul, very unusual in today’s generation. You have a lot to be proud of, you go girl. Continue to shine. 🥰
My heart. I wish I knew this stuff as a child. I miss my grandmother.
You're such an inspiration, I love listening and watching while my brain is like mumbling my own ideas inspired by your talent.... thank for sharing! So much to learn!
My husband and I did the same as your parents. He was from Australia and I am American. We courted by 'snail mail' because that was in the days before e-mail.

This is just so amazingly beautiful, I have no words. I love ALL of them!
Love the whole collection the grandmother is my favorite I have letter from my father to my grandmother while he was away in the military. It was just the two of them my father was very young. My grandmother could be in the far way places that my father's travels took him through the wonderful letters he sent her, you could read the love and between mother and son. Best of all all the letters are in Spanish starting out with the same greeting ( mamasita) I can here your voice how it almost cracks with love when you talked about the granddaughter and grandmother
These are stunning! I love the beautiful combination of paper and stitching and fabric. I can imagine finding these buried in a battered trunk in an old gothic mansion - they’re so full of mystery and heart.
Nazy, I adore your concept of deconstructing the journal to an envelope form...of course I would adore something made by you. I have been admiring you and your work for some time now...I think you have a magical way of introducing your products and sharing with others...I love the stories you come up with in your work as well. I am old enough to be your grandma, but am learning so much from you! Thank you for sharing...I just recently was given letters from my mom and dad that had been kept by my oldest sister, who passed on to a better world a few months ago and feel as if I've been given the most amazing treasure...I believe you really do have a "sweet and caring" heart...it feels so genuine...wishing you the best!! Ronda without an H...lol
I love the work you do....beautiful.
I am in love with "oceans apart"! Not only am I obsessed with the color blue, but I have a huge fascination with the sea. It's truly an untapped world that we will never fully understand
Loved loved loved the father - daughter letters. Resonated so much with me. Lost my dad 3 years ago but he is still the person who made me who I am today. I'm so thankful for his love and what a lovely way you've created to remember feeling and memories. Thank you
What a wonderful idea! These are beautiful! Looking forward to the class! That you so much for sharing! XX
Stunning,creative and such a treasure. Beautiful work. Incorporating touches of replicated age! Such inspiration to the viewers! Can't wait to attempt this and purchase from you!
Hi Nazy, was
Oh my goodness! I really love these. As I was watching each collection I was wishing that you would create a mermaid or ocean theme and then there it was! I love the story as it is close to mine. My dad was a merchant marine and would tell me stories about life on the ship. He was a wonderful story teller and I would find any excuse to encourage another story. Thanks for creating such wonderful reminders of how important it is to stay connected to family and loved ones. Love, Millie
Oh Millie!!! It was as if the story was created especially for you! This is exactly why I create stories that are open and relatable so that one can see their own life reflected through the creations. Thank you so much for sharing this with me Millie as these are the moments that I treasure - if it wasn't for our family and loved ones we would not be the type of person we are today, sending much love to you my dear friend!
These are wonderful! They truly evoke memories of wonderful letters of a bygone era. Gorgeous!❤️❤️
Nazy, your love and appreciation for the past is beautiful. What a wonderful way to express that love--by recreating the papers, and the textures and the stories. I hope to be a lucky recipient at 5pm EST today....
I am sure that I am like many, I will watch this video over and over. Kind of like a great dessert....one just can't stop with one piece. I can only hope that some day I will create pieces as lovely as you. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us to think outside our own scope of creation. I shop second hand stores and antique stores for letters and cards such as the ones you have been blessed to see that belonged to your parents....I truly can't imagine.....and when I sit and read these letters or cards I visualize the setting in which the sender and receiver are in.....and try to bring them to life. In some cases I can't imagine a family not wanting to hold on to these valuable precious mementos. Perhaps they do not know of these vintage journals that we create....and do no realize there is a medium to display and flip thru and take a walk down memory lane. Which is one reason I love to share "what a junk journal is" with folks that have not heard of them. One of my most precious ones is of tidbits from my childhood, with my parents....stories....hopefully as I grow old I can glance back at these memories with much love.
You are gifted....and I thank you for sharing your talent with us.
WOW! Amazing, so beautiful I can’t wait for the class. I wrote weekly letters to my grandmother before she died but I love all of them.
These are absolutely beautiful. You have outdone yourself lady.!
This really resonated with me. As technology advances the art of communicating by letter becomes ever more precious. Some of my most treasured things in the world have my mother and fathers handwriting in them. Thank you for this beautiful way of expressing that emotion in your wondrous art.
Love the looks of these as well when you open them and take out the papers, you hear the crinkles of the envelope 💕 really love the stories you share when you make these, it has much more impact of interest in them and uniqueness
I’m in love with your channel Nazy! You are so cool! I love the beautiful envelopes!! New subscriber here! 😉
These are each so very beautiful in their own way, and all are so very inspiring. It is difficult to choose a favorite! The "Bohemian Dreams" reminds me of my sister as well, and how we are both so different and yet so close. "Oceans Apart" speaks to me so much too! Just the emotives that this theme evokes is so very inspirational, and I love all of the hues of blue and gold, and I love that you were able to make the papers look as if they were washed by time. Absolutely gorgeous 😍 Thank you so much for sharing and always inspiring! Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot in this course, that is so exciting!!!
Beautiful! It's hard to chose a favorite. They are all so beautiful. But the two that spoke to me the most was the Oceans apart because I love blue and I was very close to my Dad. He passed away recently and I miss him very much. This is a great idea to keep the little mementos he has gifted me and to write down my memories of him. I have been going through those memories in my mind a lot lately. (Now I am going to change the subject before I cry.) And the Parisian love is also one that speaks to me. My grandmother was born and raised in Paris. She was such a elegant and beautiful person. She had a wonderful style. So anything Parisian tugs at my heart.
So..... Unique! Elegantly created, imaginative stories, works of Art, that you just want to hold, and look thru, time after time! Hoping I'm lucky enough to purchase one. Grandmother/Granddaughter touches my heart. As my Grandmother raised me! Ty, for sharing of yourself Nazy! You have a beautiful Soul! ;). XO
This is a divine collection! Reminds of when I was younger and I used to write letters to my great aunt who had cancer. I would send her poems and drawings. And I always got so excited when I would check the mail and see a letter from her!
Stunning. Sooo excited you offer classes too! I can see the heart you put into everything you create😊
Awe thank you Marisa!!! I feel like a kid who is waiting for christmas lol! I am way TOO EXCITED to share my heirloom envelope class with you all! I can't create anything if it doesn't have a special meaning to me and knowing that this wonderful family loves what I create - its such a humbling and amazing feeling! Thank you so much for your sweet words!
Omg I have never seen anything so beautiful. I learned to sew on my mother old treadle machine at 8 yrs old. Still love to sew . This is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I love your stories. So wish I could afford to buy one. Such a treasured heirloom style. I absolutely adore this. Keep creating I love to watch.
These are amazing.....can’t wait to see the class! Love the bohemian!
Oh my gosh girl!!! You just continue to blow me away with your creations. Looking at it all is candy for my eyes! Lol. I can't even choose a favorite. It' all truly stunning. Bloom on!
These are ALL absolutely STUNNING! Wow just love seeing another brilliant creative idea from you! TFS! Huggz Sarah
I loved your concept of deconstructing the journal to an envelope form and the Grandmothers Love collection is adorable.
This is fantastic, I love the envelope art so much!
My favorit would be the 'grandmother's love envelope set'. My grandmother was very special to me. When I was 8 years old, I was very ill and wrote a letter to my grandmother, asking if she would come and visit me. Which ofcourse she did... She died on my 18th birthday and I inheritated her coffee cabinet. And in one of the drawers there was my letter... I still have it. In the other drawer there were several nail scissors and I noticed they were all different. That's when my scissors collection started...
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work of art, Loes
You have touched my heart!!! I am the grandmother of two granddaughters and this is something I would love to make for them. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Beautiful, Nazy! You have been busy indeed, making more beautiful, inspired art! I like the story of the two sisters best - the fortune tellers. ❤️ xx Lynn
Was just thinking about what to do with all my collection of envelopes! Jackpot! Your work is gorgeous.
What a creative mind!!!
So many wonderful memories are flooding into my thoughts as I watch you sharing your beautiful pages. Like your parents, my husband and I fell in love through the mail. I kept all the letters he sent me over the 2 years we wrote and my daughter found them. Like you, it brought her to a very different appreciation for our story over the nearly 45 years together. Then the relationship with my beautiful grandchildren, so special...AND we share journal gifts! The most recent on our family vacation. The next journal is the one I am working on for my granddaughter turning 16 this year, it will be so special. Truly overwhelming emotions. Hopefully this all makes sense!! Thank you Nazy, such authentic love and genuine passion comes through in everything you share. XO
Ohhh you are an old soul with such a passionate, romantic ❤️ heart. These are gorgeous! I’ll take them all 😊. Your work is like reading a treasured book, getting to know each character. Love love these!!
Absolutely gorgeous! Excited to hear you are preparing a class for these - can't wait to see it!
I just love how you have a story to go along with the most beautiful envelopes I've ever seen. They are all just perfect and your love of what you do shows in all your work. I have a true love for Paris, so my favorite is the wedding one with French quotes.
All your collections are beautiful, it's very hard to pick a favorite!! However at this time the one with grandmother speaks to my heart. My daddy is dying of leukemia, he won't be with us much longer. That collection reminds of all the things that dad would pass on to each of his children and grandchildren if it were possible for him to do so. You do beautiful work, and it's so sweet of you to share it with us. Thank you.
Nazy, what joy! Love the sentiment of the letters from the Grandmother to her granddaughter, the hope of the Bohemian Dream letters, but having just lost my Dad, the idea of letters to a daughter touched me in a special way. Can’t wait for the class. Crafty xoxo Michelle
I am lost for words. Be proud, they are unique! Much love!
Sending much love to you darling!! THANK YOU :)
How beautiful. So much talent and creative genius in your fingertips.
You continue to outdo yourself with your imagination and creativity! Love to watch your videos. I actually love them all! The mermaid one was gorgeous! Thank you.
Wow...this is such an original and fantastic idea Nazy!!! Stunning!!! And thank you for the chance to win being part of the class...I'm sorry I missed when they went on sale!! Just beautiful!! xo
Beautiful. I love all of the tiny touches you've added. Every detail shows your thought process and the heart you've put into the journal.Creative Blessings!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful collections. Your creativity is amazing and what wonderful way to express it. Your enthusiasm is inspiring and is very evident in these wonderful papers and embellishments.
I love how you have a story for each project you create. Love, love the envelops. They are so beautiful each set of envelops. Thank you for sharing. Love watching your videos.
OMGosh Nazy, this project is amazing! I have letters and ephemera that we’re sent to my grandmother from her son while he was serving in the Navy during WWII. He was killed in action but these letters leaves a legacy. You have captured that same feeling in your beautiful work. Simply stunning! It will be a lucky person who wins your class.
I am a member of the Amity family and have enjoyed all your wonderful creations. You are blessed with great talent. Love the new envelope idea.
Oh my Nazi! These are absolutely beautiful! I’m ecstatic to hear that you’re putting a class up to teach us how to make them too! I’m obsessed with the Bohemian one (of course!) seeing that I myself am a bohemian lady/mystic. I’ll be stalking your Etsy shop until 5pm! Lol. Have a happy Sunday love! ✨🔮🌙
Yes Ananda! My fellow bohemian sister! No worries hun if for whatever reason you cannot purchase the bohemian dreams heirloom set then the classes will teach you how you can create one of your own :) Sending you much love and creative vibes your way!!
I can’t wait for the course!
I used to have one of those little cameo hat pins years and years ago. Beautiful envelopes! I love them all. I especially love the one with the two parts you can put ephemera in with the definition of what a Grandmother is. My grand-daughter just informed me that I’m going to be a great-grandmother this year! 😀😘. I love all your work!♥️
These are stunning! Extremely creative & I can't wait for the class.
Nazi you never cease to amaze me with your amazing creations! These are gorgeous!! I LOVE your style and all the love and thought you put into each of your creations! Thank you for sharing with us and I look forward to the class! Love!
I so love your creative ideas and the story behind this. Absolutely amazing and such gorgeous kits. Very special!
So beautiful..made me almost cry...😍
These are so pretty. I love the idea of it. The way you've made and decorated the envelopes and ephemera is just perfection. They look really old.
This is a beautifully classic concept, well thought out and executed with your brilliant style! I adore the art of handwriting and letter writing. Thank you for bringing these art forms back in your unique way.
Hi Nazy, your creativity never ceases to amaze me! The grandmother-granddaughter set appeals to me the most because I lost my grandmother 16 years ago and I still think about her all the time...
The Grandmothers Love collection is my favorite. Being a Grandma is the greatest gift! I was thinking of my five granddaughters as you described the set. These are beautiful, Nazy! Lucky will be the winners of your class! You have such a beautiful style. So kind of you to do the giveaway. ❤️
My sister just got married and I had made her a wedding journal to keep memories from the time leading up to and right after her wedding. I love your wedding set of envelopes! It is another great way to do the same thing! Just like finding a stack of envelopes and letters a relative wrote, years later...these would be cool to find, all filled up with notes and journaling years later as well! Great Idea!!!
Absolutely beautiful and romantic. The story behind your creations is what make it stand out. What a beautiful story. Mahalo for sharing.
Lovely idea. The letter idea is even more important now that letter writing is becoming rare as people use facebook, cell phones and other social media. I cherish my parents letters during WWII and my husband and my letters while he was in the army and in Turkey and Viet Nam.Thank you for creating these and for your giveaway. Diane
P.S. I forgot yo mention that I cannot really pick a favorite collection. They are all precious. If I had to choose, perhaps the first one or the Bohemian. Thanks again. Diane
Your talent is amazing. All the love and detail of each journal speaks to your love for this craft. Like so many have commented before, they are all astonishingly beautiful. I believe I would pick Parisian Love as my favorite.
I have a small box of letters from my parents of their time of separation during WWII. I love your idea of using these precious items,
OMGoodness Nazy, these are just the most beautiful "Heirloom" Envelope collections. You possess a very unique and innate ability to create these very authentically antique looking items. And that is only surpassed by your old world imagination. Creativity at it's best. I would take your class if I could afford to. I'm a true "Bohemian" (but not Gypsy lol) having a Czech ancestry. So, like you, it is a fav subject and I love creating in that style as well.
Letter writing is certainly becoming a lost art that deserves to be revived, these sets are inspiring for journaling but also for letter writing!
I'm very happy that I discovered your chanel. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The envelopes are full of treasures. I really like your use of textiles. I have so many projects that I sewed, that I crocheted and knitted. I also have earrings, and bracelets that I made. I will now be able to incorporate all of them in my handmade journals. Thank you for your wonderful ideas.
Oh I am so in LOVE with your work and this idea is so wonderful!I am still saving letters from my ex because there is huge part of my life and I love to read it sometimes.More than go to journal..exactly how you said..the open envelope is already bringing memories to my mind...waw girl your creativity is outstanding! Thank you so much for all your ideas and sharing your stunning work with us xx
Ooo, these are so creative and gorgeous! Stunning artistic mind, Nazy! I like them all but the bohemian dreams is my favourite with the ocean blue following close behind. Thank you for sharing these; It's always so inspiring to see your work.
Wow...wow...wow! I am so thankful I have witness your growth as a designer and artist!
oh nazy these are so exquisitely, breathtakingly beautiful! you were obviously inspired! thanks for sharing them with us.
Just AMAZING, and such an inspiration! Your creativity knows no bounds, thank you for sharing these with us, they are wonderful beyond words :)
Gorgeous envelopes and wonderful ideas! Love this ! Tfs! You are so creative! You have an old soul!
Oh my! The ocean themed based on your mermaid journal and on the story between father and daughter is my favourite. Absolutely breathtaking!
