these came out wonderful Gayle - i do enjoy using tissue paper - and one other thing - for those who like the crinkly sound - put a piece of parchment paper inside the envelope before you seal it - i look forward to seeing what comes next 🤗be well
A scrappy Saturday is a happy Saturday! I love the look that tissue gives your work. Its transparency adds a unique dimension to your pieces! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us!
Great idea. I am still reorganizing my new art space, and I am planning an area for "do aheads" like these. It will be like my personal shop for covers and ephemera when I get back to journal making full time. You make life so much easier. I really don't know what we crafters would do without you.
Good morning Gayle, since that day you put all those journals together. I did the same thing . I finished 2 & I’m sooo great full for your idea . . Before it seemed like it took me forever to finish a journal . Thank you for sharing your idea’s . Now I’m going to try one of these covers. Blessings to you and your family. 🥰😍🥰
These are going to be beautiful journal covers!! I use wax paper inside the tops of my bottles thanks to you it really is a life saver! Hope your lunch was great. 🐞🤗✌️
I think I "might-could" do these type of journal covers!! 😘 Thank you for taking away the intimidation aspect of covers w/ this quick & easy technique!! Yours turned out beautifully!! ❤🤗🦋🏵🐇
So many fun covers. Can’t wait to see the cover with the ladies decorated. I think it’s very cool. Fun video. Hope you are doing well my friend. Love and hugs to you😊💐
That tissue collage one is going to be really cool! The butterflies too! I'm doing covers along with you using my stash of used Amazon padded envelopes, tear resistant tissue and rice paper. Such fun 😊
Hi Gayle. You crack me up 😂 with your explanation of the people you are using. The couple that have the fold between them. Hope they do work things out, whatever the situation is. Love ❤️ your sense of humor. Have a great weekend. Hugs 🤗 from NC where it’s 68 degrees and most of the yard work is done.
That is a really , really easy way to make gorgeous covers. Thanks from the Newbies and the Oldies...err, you know what mean.😝. All of your tissues were fabulous. 👍🥰❤️
Great tutorial as always Gayle! You gave me tons of ideas & inspiration to do some really nice covers now. I have the Stainz but haven't used it yet, happy to see how it does. XO
I'll bet the Stainz by Patty Pockets would work as an aging medium on those covers, too. I just ordered a couple more (of the colors this time) and can hardly wait to use them. I was just organizing my tissue paper yesterday so those would be great for this use. I bet rice paper would work for this application - I make my own. One could also use the white envelopes as bases or paint the manilla ones if they wanted a lighter base. Thanks, Gayle!
@@craftsnhaulswithlela Nah, it's a cinch and far cheaper. I use this tutorial, but I bet there are many others (I've seen one where the lady uses coffee instead of water to dilute her white glue and the results are beautiful): th-cam.com/video/JHgS_T-5sFw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SharonHoerth
I love this method. I have crumbled up my tissue paper almost in a ball, then open it up and lay it on the cover and it is awesome! Love the red poppies. I need some of that paper! Lol love it!
Oh my gosh! As I always say… you are amazing!!! I love all the covers you are working on, they are fabulous! I am so inspired to try making some of these! I think I am hooked! Have a super Saturday! Hugs! 🤗 Love you sis! 💖❤️💖
Happy Scrappy - my 82-year-old mother's favorite movie of all time is The Godfather - she especially loves the old gangsta movies - hope you and Mike have a beautiful, blessed weekend - Hugs.
This was great! I tend to over think my covers and have thrown in the towel on a few. I will try this method. Thank you for sharing friend! Oh, I am hoping you open a retreat next year. I wasn't able to sign up this year but I'm hoping...... Hugs....
I love this idea, I bam a newbie and never sure if I should do pockets, signatures, tags, whatever , first. I get so frustrated so do nothing. These envelopes seem so much easier than using old boxes or cutting cardstock. After watching this, I have one journal cover finished and ideas for more. Thank you
I love this technique of making covers and will be trying it soon. I use my favorite Mary Englebreit teacup and saucer that I picked up at a thrift store when mod podging. I had such a big bottle I couldn’t get to the bottom, so I started pouring it into the teacup to use. The cup works great because I can hold it by the handle when working, and rest my brush in the saucer as I work. Then when I’m done I can pour the excess back into the bottle and rinse everything off.
This was way too fun! I enjoy working with mod podge....I am glad you mentioned there is an "antique" finish available. I will get right on that😂😂😂 Hope your retreat goes awesome!!!!
Happy scrappy Saturday!! I love these quick and easy journal covers. I was thinking about how well the poppies would go with an Alice in Wonderland themed journal
Oh my! You have some awesome tissue paper! Looks easy enough to do, which is always good. I think I might have to buy Mod Podge by the gallon though 😂. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞
Loved this video! Reminds me that covers are easy. I have been using sewing pattern tissue as my tissue on my covers and the the focal points make the all different😊
Those are so nice! I am trying to sew in 2 signatures while listening/watching you. I still have one left and all the time you were making lots of covers! I struggle but am making headway! Hugs
Always great ideas! I just entered the junk journal world last summer and started binge watching your TH-cam videos. It’s great to see your enthusiasm and willingness to share. I found a 1918 music book at a thrift shop but need your advice on how to give myself permission to use it. How does one get over the guilt of taking apart a “piece of history” and folding it into a journal? I could copy it but then my journal won’t have authentic vintage pages. And, if I do start copying the items, I will have a collection of items gathering space. I even feel like I am going to destroy history or some “valuable” piece of vintage or antique item. What a conundrum! I would appreciate any words of wisdom you may share. Thank you.
Oh, I so understand your dilemma! Being a reader and lover of vintage and history, I have struggled with the same conflict. I do scan some things that I feel are “irreplaceable” or that I know I’ll want to use multiple times. But then, I buy books, including music books, specifically for using in my journals. Because that is their purpose, I have an easier time using them. I often read the vintage books before using them in a journal. Also, I try to use books that are one step away from the garbage from thrift stores, the dollar store, garage and estate sales. I also look at it as though I’m multiplying the joy by using, for instance an Edith Holden book, in 50 journals instead of it being one book. 50 people get to enjoy the beautiful pages instead of one person. It’ll take some time, but you’ll find what makes you comfortable. I hope that helps! ❤️
I have the same problem. I have two vintage music books that are falling apart. I did scan the double page. But I also am having trouble cutting into them. I recently bought some small very old poetry books. I have yet to examine them well but I just have a love of books. They are precious to me!
I don’t really have a problem tearing up books, I don’t know why because I know a lot of people do, but if it’s anything that you think in the slightest bit could be valuable look it up because I did that. I bought a book for $2 at an estate sale just because I was going to use the covers and I decided to look it up and I sold it for $450 on eBay so, if you have any idea that it might be valuable, if it’s signed, if it’s a first edition just do a quick search online and then tear into it. One way to think about tearing into them is that you are saving them. A local used bookstore where I live went out of business during the Covid lockdown. She tried to get rid of all the books, she called all the other used bookstores, she tried libraries, and got rid of some but ended up just posting a picture of the dumpster in the parking lot of her store filled to the brim with books and told everybody to just come and get them before it rained and ruined them. So by tearing them up and using them in art you’re saving them from a worse fate.
We had the rain here in Wisconsin the same day the video came on. I thought it was funny. I love watching your videos because it seems like the weather is always a day or a few days after it hits Montana. The when I watch the frugalcrafter Maine gets hit a few days after Wisconsin.
If you didn’t want the orange background showing through you can paint the envelope first…. I painted one grey and used gray tissue to make an elephant looking journal, I think it came out pretty good. I loved the butterflies cover. Maybe if we painted the envelope white the colors of the tissue would stay truer.
Yayyyy collaging stuff... I must be in a watching collage mood, coz I'm really enjoying it. I love those corners too... I keep hunting for those here in nz, but can't find them.... Will keep looking. We dont have a Joanne's or hobby lobby here, but we have similar places, but with covid there aren't many things coming into nz... And to be honest, I don't want to go into the bigger cities to search.... Anyhoo... Yayyy for collaging! 💖😁
I tried this technique for the first time last week and was really happy with the results. You have much more interesting tissue paper than I have. I need to track down some prettier ones. 🙂
Hi Gayle! 💕 Good idea for the tissue papers. 👍 I seem to be hoarding mine. Found several Holtz tissue papers last week while looking for something else. 🙄 Rice papers I use, but forget the tissue papers for some reason. Actually, the reason is called “out of sight, out of mind”. 😆 Enjoyed this. Will save for later. Thank you! Oh! Have you tried the Antique Matte Mod Podge? I bought by mistake ages ago, but have been using it lately (on days it’s not so humid here) and have grown to like it.
Thank you Gayle I love these type of journal covers. You are right they would be easier and faster to do. I am definitely trying some of these as I have all of the supplies on hand. I did prefer the heavier tissue because you can see the design more clearly. The vintage Ladies tissue was so transparent that the brown envelope detracted from the images. Perhaps more plain tissue underlay would solve this or maybe the images will look different after they dry. I probably shouldn't make this comment as I have no experience. I enjoyed it all. Hugs.
You can get white and sometimes manilla colored envelopes. Check the office section in Walmart, dollar stores, office supply stores or Amazon. Another option is to use white cardstock cut to size just be careful folding it that it doesn't crack. Hope this helps 😊
I live in Iowa. I'm in the basement watcging this because the severe storm sirens keep going off. We had some crazy hail. But always enjoy your videos.
Good plan to get all these done. I do okay with journals until I get to the front of the cover focal point and then I hit a wall. I think I’m probably overthinking it all but maybe you could do a video of making focal points on the covers with stuff we have. I know I don’t have extra money to buy some of the padded hearts and those things from the amazing Etsy shops all the time so maybe some Gayle advice will help me break that wall down!
Thank you, this was very informative and I will definitely try this out. Have enjoyed all your videos & learned a lot. Is there a site out there for a heavier tissue paper
I did some of these from one of your old videos. But do you make different focal points ahead of time. Especially if you know the kinds of journals that you like to make. Or do you do thé focal points as you need them n I would like to see more ideas on focal points. That would help.. I think I wrote that right. I would like to do some more mens journals. So maybe a bunch of fronts. The editor.. typewriter. Old photography, western style, weather, railroads, fishing, etc. Mens are hard to do.
I wonder if ModPodge would work in an old-style pointy ketsup bottle so you could squirt it where you want it easier? Kinda like Art Glitter Glue. You could cap it with those knitting needle protectors. I may try this.
these came out wonderful Gayle - i do enjoy using tissue paper - and one other thing - for those who like the crinkly sound - put a piece of parchment paper inside the envelope before you seal it - i look forward to seeing what comes next 🤗be well
Fun scrappy Saturday Gayle. You have so many great tissue papers! Thank you for sharing.💕Amy

Hello Gayle, wonderful scrappy covers, the butterfly is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Love all of them. You make everything look so easy. Love your work!!
I love the tissue paper covers. I usually only have plain tissue paper so I need to be on the look out for some patterned tissue paper.
Thank you for sharing. Covers are not easy for me, because I over think them to much. I love all yours.
Me too! ☺️
Me too, covers are my nemesis.
I’m so great full for all you do for us craters! You have opened up my imagination that was stuck in a rut. Love it ❤️
I absolutely loved watching you do this! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Love all the poppy papers. You make it look so easy Gayle. Your new setup is really working for you. 👍👍😊
Love making covers. My favorite part
The poppy tissue paper is gorgeous!❤ Can't wait to see the journals you make from the covers.
Great idea. I am still reorganizing my new art space, and I am planning an area for "do aheads" like these. It will be like my personal shop for covers and ephemera when I get back to journal making full time. You make life so much easier. I really don't know what we crafters would do without you.

These are really lovely! They do look fairly easy to do. I’m putting them on my list! I really like the color the Patty Pockets added!
Wow! You are making progress! So many pretty things! Hugs, treen 💕💕💕🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺💕💕💕
Good evening Gayle. Glad to hear your voice again.
Hi Lucy! ❤️
These covers are super easy for beginners and you can also use the white envelopes this size. So many possibilities.
I need to make me some of these as junk journals to sell in craft fairs I'll be in.. The covers all turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us!
I love this method. I have crumbled up my tissue paper almost in a ball, then open it up and lay it on the cover and it is awesome! Love the red poppies. I need some of that paper! Lol love it!

Off to find my tissue papers and large envelopes. Your postcard paper would make a great TN. Thanks for all the videos and sharing.
Wonderful video. Had to order some decorative tissue papers, lol. I am going to make several cover.
This is brilliant!!! I’m going to make some of these this weekend!!!
Good Morning Gayle. Love scrappy Saturday. 💖💖

I tried this technique for the first time last week and was really happy with the results. You have much more interesting tissue paper than I have. I need to track down some prettier ones. 🙂
Good Morning Gayle, Happy Scrappy Saturday. Enjoyed your video this morning; have a wonderful day! 👍🍀🍀🍀
Morning Pat! ❤️
This is so easy, I'll try this
Hi Gayle! 💕 Good idea for the tissue papers. 👍 I seem to be hoarding mine. Found several Holtz tissue papers last week while looking for something else. 🙄 Rice papers I use, but forget the tissue papers for some reason. Actually, the reason is called “out of sight, out of mind”. 😆 Enjoyed this. Will save for later. Thank you! Oh! Have you tried the Antique Matte Mod Podge? I bought by mistake ages ago, but have been using it lately (on days it’s not so humid here) and have grown to like it.
Yes, I’ve used and like it too! ❤️

1982 is vintage?? Wah! Now I feel old. I was a sophomore in high school in 1982. You know you're old when your childhood years are "vintage." LOL. 🤣
I was a sophomore in 1972…what does that make me….super old? 😂❤️
Good morning beautiful Gayle. Happy Scrappy Saturday woohoo. Xoxo hugs
Morning Lorie! ❤️
Love your paper covers, how do you keep the mod podge from becoming tacky when it dries. Thank you.
Good plan to get all these done. I do okay with journals until I get to the front of the cover focal point and then I hit a wall. I think I’m probably overthinking it all but maybe you could do a video of making focal points on the covers with stuff we have. I know I don’t have extra money to buy some of the padded hearts and those things from the amazing Etsy shops all the time so maybe some Gayle advice will help me break that wall down!

Don't ya just love scappy Saturday good afternoon gayle I'm in the UK x
Happy Weekend Gayle! 😊❤️
You too, Laura! ❤️
Love it
Love this idea, can you do the same process with material?
I finally found this tutorial
Thank you, this was very informative and I will definitely try this out. Have enjoyed all your videos & learned a lot. Is there a site out there for a heavier tissue paper
I just pick up regular tissue wherever I see a pretty pattern, Hallmark, dollar store, World Market. There are also sellers on Etsy. ❤️
This is definitely an easy way to do covers. Are your tissue papers a heavy duty tissue, it looks thicker than the thin stuff you can usually find.
The poppy one with purple in it is heavier. The rest are regular tissue paper thickness. ❤️
I did some of these from one of your old videos. But do you make different focal points ahead of time. Especially if you know the kinds of journals that you like to make. Or do you do thé focal points as you need them n
I would like to see more ideas on focal points. That would help.. I think I wrote that right.
I would like to do some more mens journals. So maybe a bunch of fronts. The editor.. typewriter. Old photography, western style, weather, railroads, fishing, etc. Mens are hard to do.
Funny you should asked….stay tuned for Mixed Media Monday this week! 😄❤️
I wonder if ModPodge would work in an old-style pointy ketsup bottle so you could squirt it where you want it easier? Kinda like Art Glitter Glue. You could cap it with those knitting needle protectors. I may try this.
Let me know how it works! 👍❤️
Will do.
