Today, I am having a play with a new kit from RachandBella Crafts. It is their Shades of Spring kit. It is amazing! Truly enjoyed working with it. I have watched several process videos on how to make these cool envelope journals. I have watched Luise Heinzl, Snowstorm Crafts (Tammy), and, Shanoki Art (Shana). I will link their videos below. My first go was a little rough. I am under the weather again and wore myself out about half-way through. It still turned out beautifully and I will definitely repeat this. I love the grungy techniques that Luise Heinzl applies. I loved Shana’s because she used smaller envelopes. Tammy’s were beautiful too. She used a lot of images that worked well together. I would highly recommend that you give it a try.
I mentioned Rach and Bella’s Facebook Group in the video. It is Junk Journal Trading Post – with Rach and Bella Crafts . Here is the link – https://www.facebook.com/groups/966877233829332/
I hope you enjoy!
