Hi Guys! Today we are starting a new series - Scraphemera - where we are going to be making ephemera for our journals using scraps and things we have in our stash but don't use or don't want to use, or don't want to throw away but have no idea what to do with them :) In today's episode we are making floating pockets with beautiful flower meadow behind tracing paper and journaling spot on the back. Hope you will enjoy! Also, if you have any suggestions for future content or for making my videos better - always feel free to drop them in the comments! I am still a beginner with filming my process, so all feedback is hugely appreciated. Hugs, Martyna
I like to watch the whole process of a video, sometimes I don’t get how it was done until I’ve watched a few times. I really enjoy your videos and get very excited to see when you have a new video up. My granddaughter was watching and she said your voice is so calming and relaxing. She’s 11 and we both love your work ❤️.
Aww thank you so much for sharing this with me Lisa! I really appreciate your feedback! Big hugs to you and your sweet granddaughter xx Stay safe, both of you!
Merci pour cette nouvelle série Scraphemera. J'adore faire des éphémères car ce sont des projets rapides et variés. J'aime beaucoup les fleurs, la nature, les belles illustrations et les papiers de tous genres. J.aime votre voix calme, votre façon d'expliquer les choses. Comme je suis française je comprends mieux votre discours car vous parlez plus lentement. J'adore aussi votre façon de vous habiller souvent coordonnée à vos projets, vos rangements très jolis aussi. Je comprends votre peine pour votre petit chien car moi auss j'ai un chat persan qui suit tout ce que je fais dans mon atelier. Merci encore !
Merci beaucoup, Colette! I sadly don't speak French so I translated your comment in google, but thank you so much for your sweet words! I am so happy you like this new series. Big hugs to you and your kitty!
Hi Martyna! First of all, I am so happy your doggie is better!! Our pets are our "furry children"!! 🐶💝 Please don't put so much worry on yourself, especially during these times, it is stressful enough. We all want you to be happy and healthy, please take care! You do such beautiful work, and you are such a kind hearted person. Hugs! 😺💝
I really love these flower pockets. Yes, I was crafting along with you. I too always end up with about 12 inches of space to craft on - due to having so much of my craft stuff spread all around my desk. Really pleased your doggie is on the mend and getting back to herself.
I like your videos. You chat along as you are creating and you explain what you are doing and I can follow along with what you are doing without any difficulty. I would suggest that if you want to speed through parts, then do so. Just remember, we viewers can speed up the parts of the video we want to speed through. I enjoy watching your process. Thanks for your inspiration and taking the time to share.
I love the tracing paper over the top of your cards! It makes them look kind of dreamy. I am with the other ladies here, in that I don't really enjoy sped up videos. I don't mind the lengthier videos. I enjoy listening to the crafter sharing their thinking while crafting. I am often crafting right along with you. Speedy is not my speed, lol! You could have turned on the camera while you were organizing your scraps and I would have watched it. I really enjoy getting to know the person that I am watching. It feels like having company, especially in this crazy time that we are going through. I missed the last batch of journals so I am looking forward to the next group! Do you take orders? I know that many crafters don't like to. Some have even stopped taking orders. The thrill of the hunt is also good!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and leave me such a wonderful feedback! I love to know what you think and like in videos, as it really helps me out :) I will happily focus less on editing and more on giving you the whole thing - with my thoughts, mistakes and chatter. I do take orders generally though not at the moment as I have quite a lot of them to finish. But as soon as I am done with them I will gladly take more custom orders! Take care and stay safe dear xx
Beautiful pockets and easy to make. Love your video's and your explanation of the proces. I can fast forward myself if I wanted too. Just keep on doing what you love and we will follow hahaha.
These are so beautiful. Love them. Regarding whether I like the glueing: I sometimes like it speed up, but it really depends on what I'm doing. If I'm crafting along with you then I'm happy to listen to your conversation. 💛
Wonderful organization. Great idea, I love the idea of a floating journaling card. Can mass make them with no solid plan for a journal, but will work in them all.
Thank you so much for watching and kind words, Sandy! That's exactly what I had in mind with them - they would go nice with most journals and they are also so fun to make. Big hugs xx
I love every second of your videos. Loved this idea. You have the most beautiful ephemera folders, binders, boxes. I love your taste of paper. Glad that your doggo is back to herself again ❤️
I love this idea ! I've been wondering what to do with my project life cards! Now I'm off to create beautiful, hopefully, floating pockets !! So glad to hear that your puppy is doing well !!! Stay well and safe !!
If you remember can you share what books your got your flowers out of??? Don’t fast forward! I love listening to your voice. You are very calming to listen to! Love your channel ❤️❤️
Thank you, dear! I fussy cut most of my flowers from 'The Illustrated Flora of Britain and Northern Europe' by Marjorie Blamey. It has tons of beautiful illustrations!
Thank you for sharing your creativity. These pockets are beautiful, especially with the tracing paper over the flowers. I enjoy watching the process. What books do you use for your fussy cut flowers? I am glad your puppy is better. Looking forward to future videos.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words Katherine! I very much appreciate your feedback. The book I use the most to cut my flowers out of is "The Illustrated Flora of Britain and Northern Europe" by Marjorie Blamey - it is huge, the images are gorgeous and they are on one side of the page only so you don't have to choose which one to cut :) I got it on Amazon. Stay safe dear xx
So pretty 💐 I will have to try this I have a pad of tracing paper to use up 😁 I tend to work on things in bulk do at the moment I'm doing bees and I try and use everything up before I start a new theme so I hardly have any. I don't mind it being fast in parts but I actually really like your voice I find it very soothing
I loved watching your process video. I am curious...I love the fussy cut flowers that you use. Are these from a book or from a digital kit? Yes...do keep doing process videos. :)
Thank you Gloria! 💕 They come from a book called 'The Illustrated Flora of Britain and Northern Europe' by Marjorie Blamey. It has tons of flowers to fussy cut and the illustrations are really pretty! Big hugs dear xx
Świetny pomysł! Uwielbiam Twój styl i Twoje prace. Kiedyś wolałam krótkie i szybkie filmiki ale teraz z przyjemnością oglądam takie "tasiemce". Fajnie tak posłuchać jak ktoś opowiada o tym co robi. Powiedz mi skąd bierzesz takie piękne grafiki kwiatów. Tzn. domyślam się, że z książek botanicznych ale gdzie takie książki znaleźć? Pozdrawiam :)
These are so pretty Martyna. Such soft colors. Very lovely. I also have a question off topic. What nail polish color are you wearing. I love it. I am folowing your ephemera holder tutorial and making one for my piles of containers that I sort my ephemera into. The emphemera folder will be so much better for me. Hugs from Canada.
Thank you Donna! ❤ So glad you liked the video and the ephemera holder tutorial! Oh, I am using a very cheap nail polish! This one is from brand Miss Sporty but it does not even have a color name, only a number. I definitely always look for pretty teals with my polish though :)
Lovely!! I was curious about the prices of your journals but they had sold before I could get there. What color thread do you usually use? Do you fussy cut your flowers out of flower books? Love them!!
Thank you so much Andrea! I usually use brown or cream thread in my sewing machine and yes, I cut them from books. My favorite one for fussy cutting is "The Illustrated Flora of Britain and Northern Europe" by Marjorie Blamey as it has tons of beautiful illustrations and they are on one side of the page so you don't have to choose which one to cut. I got it on Amazon :) Big hugs xx
No fast forwarding please. It's more fun to have you talk to us while doing whatever even if your doing the same thing over and over. It;s nice to hear your thoughts and feelings
Please don’t fast forward repetitive parts it’s not as fun to craft along that way because then your so far ahead while I craft I end up pausing while I do the steps and that’s not fun.

Teal and Tattered I looked it up on eBay 😳 they want 145. Bucks for it WOW,, guess I will keep looking
Your work is so lovely. Please stop apologizing. No one is perfect. I adore your beautiful creations and your earnest, sweet spirit.

I agree. Like the whole process, the chit chat, and her calming voice.
Love how you put the tracing paper over the flowers giving a muted look 🎶
Thank you Heather! ❤

Great idea to use old project life cards to make these pockets. I have SO many of them just lying around.
Thank you Jeannes! 💕 I have loads of them too and I never use them anymore! Need to find more ways to use them up. Big hugs dear xx
So beautiful. What a gift you have. I could watch all day.
Thank you so much! ❤

That same thing happens to me! I end up crafting in a tiny spot! With everything out around me... 👍
No worries, we are all human!
