I know it’s been a MINUTE, but y’all, we are in full on HERMIT MODE with all this Spiritual Warfare going on, we gotta Stay Grounded💕✨. What better way to connect to your Experience than by creating something fabulous…SIMPLE, yet Fabulous…

This particular project came to me as I was disposing of the mountain of mail I received this month, AND my aversion to throwing away anything useful! It’s meant to use WHATEVER you have on hand; just jump right in and CREATE!!! Full Instructions Below💕✨

Supplies:

- Various Envelopes in Assorted Sizes

-Scissors

-Glue Stick or Tape

-Washi Tape

-Cardstock or Thin Cardboard for Backing

- 2 Large Paper Clips

-(optional) Felt to Cover Paper Clips

Instructions:

Cut envelopes in Half, OR approximately 1 inch above the clear address window. Cut and trim your cardstock/cardboard to the size of the envelope you are choosing to make into a frame. Glue it down to the back side of the envelope, opposite side with the address window. Flip it back over, and decorate as desired with your favorite Washi Tapes, Rhinestones, and pictures. Add the 2 paper clips to the back, approximately 3-4 inches apart, on the right hand side, with the clips facing inward. This enables you to slide the frame onto any page. Add your favorite photo or daily card pull by inserting from the top.

*You can use the plain side of the envelope to make pockets to put in junk journals too! Simply cover the front side of the envelope with decorative elements; be sure to leave the split open at the top. Glue down inside your favorite spreads and fill!💋💕✨

Envelopes for Junk Journals

My latest obsession when it comes to junk journaling and creating are envelopes to stash different goodies in. In the beginning, I would hoard envelopes that I either found or were given, altering and embellishing them. The process began to evolve when I came across a fabulous board for card making that has a built in scoring mat and cutter. I started thinking, "as simple as the structure of an envelope is, these have to be simple to construct. The next thing I know, I was on Pinterest and Google; printing some of the chicest envelopes I have ever seen. I printed mine on cardstock in various different sizes, punching a hole in a few to add to my A5 and A6 planners. A that I had really came to enjoy is using my the clean back of my mis-printed sheets of cardstock that I save from random projects to print my envelopes, giving them a ready-printed design on the inside. Each one is unique, fun, and easily fillable with various ephemera....

Journal Bows/Bookmarks

One of my favorite past times is creating all different types of clips to decorate my journals and planners. Depending on what style is utilized, they can be added to virtually anything as the perfect accent or finishing touch. Each of these items are bits, baubles, and scraps that were left over from other projects(idk, I find I'm the most creative when I'm challenged to use what I already have!). The bows can be made using free printable templates that can be found on Google, however, I prefer a simple freehand method, in which I linked a video below to show that process(Shout out to Xao Vang!). Please comment below and share your finished projects!
