Hello and Welcome! I want you to know that my signature Little House Envelope Pockets all started with this Envelope Pocket idea. My Junk Mail Envelope pocket evolved into what I now call my Little House Envelope Pockets. If you've not watched my Little House Pocket videos...I do have a Playlist on my channel or you can see the Christmas House Pockets right here: czcams.com/video/Oy979ibiM2k/video.html
Thank you so much for being here and watching my videos! xx Lily
thanks for inspiration instead of just giving directions on where to spend money. loved watching this.
Thank you so much! I do enjoy a good shopping haul however, I get so much more satisfaction in reusing and repurposing junk and using up my personal stash. Thanks for watching!😊
A year has passed since this was made. Inflation is awful. Using more of what we have instead of running to the store is a better option for so many of us. Thank you for sharing your ideas !!!
Hello PickyPainter! Thank you and you're welcome. 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it. I made this video in 2020 with limited supplies. I had lots of fun and continue to repurpose as much as I can. Thank you for watching. 😊
cute! my favorite part is when you "squirreled" and created that adorable stamp! tfs
Hahaha! Thanks so much! It's been over two years since I made that video and nothing has changed, lol. I'm still equally distracted. Thank you for being here and watching my videos!
much appreciated you got me out of a slump :-)
That's awesome! Thank you and it happens to all of us. 😄
"Grab and glue is the best thing to do" 💕 Such a fantastic motto and very true!
Right? 😆 You also made yourself a whole little rhyme there, too! 😉😊🤩 TY!
I just found your channel tonight and I'm really enjoying watching you create, you are so inspiring and you have so many beautiful creations and projects! The "the grab and glue" is your quote at 11:26 so I can't take any credit for that! Thank you for sharing your videos 😊💕
@@nikicooper4792 Thank you for joining and enjoyingmy videos. I appreciate you! 🤩 "grab and glue" hehe I do say that a lot 😆😁😄
Lilian Guerrero 😊💕💕
Okay…gotta dig out all the junk envelopes I’ve been saving and try this great idea!! Thank you sooo much. No need to purchase any fancy stuff. Love it!!❤
You are so welcome!
Love that you use what is available and don't run out and buy all the kits!!! :)
Thank you! 😊😁😊
I think you are so awesome and fun, your beautiful spirit lifts my inner soul. Your ideas are fab, when a person doesn’t have the money to buy a lot, you ways are great. God Bless your heart, I will be praying for you.
Thank you so much! You have put a big smile on my face. I wish you a beautiful day :)

Absolutely love your tutorial and how you show us how you use those tiny scraps on side track. Will be making some of these!
I'm so glad you love it! Thank you for being here and watching my video. Every time I use little scraps it reminds me of my own video, lol 😊😊😊
I love what you said about waste and trying to not create any. I try to live this way. I'm not perfect, but I do try and honestly, that's more than some humans can say. Anywho, I just really enjoy all your videos! Well done and thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and also taking care of our environment and our earth. :)
Your video is awesome! Love your dialogue as well as your creativity.
Wow, thank you for watching and being here! 😊
I have been saving up a whole bunch of junk mail envelopes, so I'm trying to find different things to do with them. This video couldn't have come at a better time. I love the look of the envelopes you show here, they're so pretty. I don't know if it's weird, but shape is something I always notice, and I'm a fan of the shape of this little project. Also, thank you for sharing your ideas on how to repurpose even the smallest things. It is actually very helpful for those of us who don't have much to work with.
You're welcome! The best tool is your creative imagination. Thank you for watching.
These are so cute. I’m just starting to journal, and hubby is saving all the envelopes for my ephemera. I love this and the recycling of the paper.
Wonderful! Thank you for being here 😊
I learned that I can use envelope I new way thanks from Texas
Hello Texas! 😊 Thank you for being here and watching my video. I've more envelope videos on my channel. So many great uses and ways to repurpose. 😊
You are having way too much fun, even when you get side tracked. Love watching you. I learn so much from you. The fact that you use everything the way you do, is what it’s all about. Great video.
Thank you! And yes, I have tons of fun creating and crafting. Thank you for your kind words and I'm very happy you are here. 😊
I have been saving envelopes lately because I love all of the different patterns on the inside. I love your collaged envelopes! Thank you for sharing your process and I love your squirrel moments 😁❤️
Thank you. You can make so many great things with envelopes. Enjoy creating with them! 🤩
(And yes, I get easily distracted 😆)
Thank you so much Lily, I really really enjoyed watching you create these beautiful and gorgeous collaged junk Mail envelopes, and yes Eva is absolutely amazing too.. she’s like a magician too. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
Thank you so much for subbing! I appreciate your kind words. :)

Thank you so much. I appreciate you being here. 😊
I just came across you tutorial and l really enjoyed it and especially how you have such a sweet joyful spirit. Thank so much for sharing. May continue to bless you richly always.
Thank you Linda, I appreciate your kind words 😊. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Ty! 🤩
I just finished making a windowed envelope based on this video. I don’t do collage so that took a little getting used to but then I got into it and I love the results. Thank you for an inspiring video!
Hello! I'm so happy you tried it and enjoyed it. 🤩😊 Thank you for watching my video. 🤗
Really enjoyed learning how to make these handy envelopes!
Thank you Julie! Have fun creating a few! 😊😊
@@LilianGuerrero I did it! Finished an envelope and an insert for it. " just start gluing " Best inspiration ever.
@@JulieAshleyLouisiana Julie, that's fantastic! Just start gluing and the rest will follow, woohoo! 🤩😀😄
I just found your channel and am So glad i did!!!! I love that you would sidetrack from what you were doing!!!! That’s the trait of a real crafter!! ❤️
Hi and welcome! You are very kind and I'm happy you you are here. :)
Super cute envelopes!!! Girl after my own heart upcycling that junk mail.
Whatever I can get my hands on, hehe. Trying to save the world one junk mail envelope at a time. Thank you! 😉😊🤩
Wow! I just love 💕 this . I really like you using your Dad’s tool , I have taken my Dad’s old lunch pale that he carried to work for years & keep my scrapbooking tools 🧰 in.
I just couldn’t part with it. Lol!
That is awesome! I get excited to repurpose older or odd items in new ways. Using your Dad's old lunch pail is perfect for scrapbook tools. :)
Hi Lillian! I just happened to stumble unto your channel. I'm so glad I did. I saw Eva, from the Bohemian Crafter make this envelopes and I completely forgot about them. I need to use up my collection of junk mail envelopes. I like your idea on stamping on scraps. I'll just start doing that as well. I hope I don't forget this too. I'm going to write it down. Knowing myself I will unless I jot it down in my notebook. Lol! Thank you for sharing. I'll make sure to give you credit on the stamping on scraps. Also, those strips of paper with all the hole punches, use your scraps and use a hole punch and make your own. That's what I'm planning on doing. I used to have some but I'm a absent minded crafter that I misplace everything!!! Lol!! Seriously, I do! Tfs. GOD Bless p.s. I subscribed to your channel 😊
Hello and welcome to my channel Miss Reyes. Thank you so much for being here. So many great ideas it's impossible to keep it all in our heads. I have ideas written down everywhere. 😄 Thanks for your nice comments and suggestion. I appreciate it! Take care and see you here! 😉☺

Connie, thank you! And I totally get it. 😆 I worked on a bunch tonight and didn't even put a dent in my stash, hahaha 😅
I have been saving envelopes for a while and haven’t found a project for them yet, but now I do! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kayla, I'm happy to know you will put them to good use. Once you get started with this project your own ideas will begin to flourish. Enjoy the process and thank you for watching my video. 😊😊😊
I just found your channel....love this tutorial...thank you so much...

Awe, thank you so much! 😍
I just subscribed and truly enjoyed your video and love the out come. I appreciate and enjoyed you sharing with us,
Hello and welcome. Thank you for being here and subscribing to my CZcams channel. 😊
Love the idea
Thank you! 😊😊😊
Love these ideas! I’ve started saving window envelopes so now I can start working with them thanks to your video!!!
Thank you! I still save every single junk mail envelope I get. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoy the process and have fun!
Love this video! Squirrel! Chuckle.. can’t wait to do these, I saw on another video, can’t remember who, took their book pages they were gluing, stamping on, folded in half, sticky sides together and used the good sides to add to other paper to thicken and make pockets
Thank you Margaret! Yes, I get easily distracted :D We have to use up the book pages somehow, hehe Thank you for watching and enjoying the video. I'm happy you loved it. :)
Your voice is so soothing! And you explained simply and elegantly. I'm glad you appeared on my feed.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. 😊😊😊
Love this
Thank you Joanne!😄
New subscriber here! Pinky Sugar Artsy (Carla) shared your channel and I LOVE this video! I am saving it. Best video so far for junk mail envelopes! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for subbing! I appreciate you being here and watching my videos. Thank you for your kind words. 🤗
great video thank you.
Thank you. I'm so glad you like it!
Great tutorial, new subbie
Thank you and welcome! :)
Great idea! 😍
Thank you! 😊
I really enjoyed this video and look forward to making some of these cute pockets. 💗
Thank you Janet! 🤩
Love it❤
Thank you! :)
What a lovely video. And your excitement pours out into your crafting. So wonderful. I love the Fotografia No. stamp. Would you by any chance remember where you got it from? Thanks for sharing xxx
Thank you! Yes, the Fotografia is one of my favorites. You can find it at StampFrancisco.com Thanks! 😊
I know the feeling with your thumbs. I had cortizone shot and that took care of it. Now have a Dr appointment tomorrow as have carpel tunnel in both hands, the shot took care of left hand but the right one its still numb on middle finger so probably have surgery. Love the envelopes
Well wishes to you and hope it's not too bad. :)
I've started using Elmer's Glue mixed with a little bit of water instead of using the sticky glue because it bothers me so much and I really liked it better it takes a lot longer to drive at I like it so much better than having my hands completely stuck together
:D Sticky fingers is part of the craft ;) I really don't mind it and can just wipe them clean. I will juggle between different glues and adhesives and right now I am loving the Art Glitter Glue. It honestly just depends on the project I'm working on. :)
Just found your channel…..love your content 😊.
Hello and Welcome Mary. I'm happy you are here. Thank you! ☺
NICE
Thank you! 😊
I really love your personality. I've been looking at lots of videos on how to use junk mail envelopes but this one really has me inspired! I'm going to try to make some of these pockets this weekend. I do tend to toss scraps and I feel bad about it so this may help me to stop doing that. You have a new subscriber. 😀
Thank you so much 😊 💓 Scraps are perfect for this project. Enjoy the process I'm sure you'll love making these. 😉😊
I absolutely loved watching this video! This is such a fantastic use for all those envelopes that I don’t use since I pay nearly everything online. I always love watching people collage since I feel that’s one of my weaknesses. All the ways you use little tidbits of paper is really impressive, too. I think there is a punch that recreates the dot matrix paper. I have it but have yet to use it. I had so much fun that I subscribed to your channel!
Welcome! 😀Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! When it comes to collage, just grab and glue. It may look wonky at first but with practice it will get better. Have fun creating junk to treasure! 😉
@@LilianGuerrero Thanks so much for your kind words!
Thank you for sharing! You are so inspiring! I saved these envelopes with intentions to repurpose but needed up collecting-how do you store all your supplies? Cereal boxes add up real quick…❤
You are so welcome! I do save all cereal boxes I come across and have recruited my daughters into saving theirs for me as well. LOL I immediately cut them down to my preferred size which is an 8.5 x 6 inch cover. I then store the unfolded covers in a desktop wire file holder/hanger. You've given me a good idea to show in my next shorts video exactly what that looks like. Your question is fantastic! Thank you and I hope this was helpful.
Learned some nice tips, thank you! This creation is gorgeous. Is there a video where you show how you made the cereal box butterfly collage cards?
Hi Stephanie, thank you so much. I do have a video where I show how I made the collage cards. The butterfly cards make a cameo appearance and the video shows a similar process. Here is the link to that video czcams.com/video/tfnhPJX6vjM/video.html and you gave me a good idea to link it in this video. Thank you for watching! :)
I also have learned a bit from Bohemian.
Thank you for watching! :)
Rub your thumbs with castor oil and peppermint oil. They are natural pain killers. It takes several times to penetrate. It’s worth getting past the oiliness. I keep both thumbs working and my trigger finger didn’t trigger as long as I keep after it.
Be patient. It truly works.
That is very kind of you to share. I will give this a try to prevent it from happening again. :) I appreciate you being here.
Dot Matrix, another item not known by Millennials
🤭🤭🤭 It was a chore loading that paper...especially payroll checks. 😆😁😄
I just found this awesome video and I subscribed! I have one question I’m dying to know….how did you make the vintage tape that you put in your postage stamp? Is there a video on making it? Love your channel! ❤️
Thank you so much and welcome to my YT journey 😊. I do have a video how I make this faux vintage tape. Here is the link. Thank you again 🤩😊😉
czcams.com/video/lsUqH3v7QTc/video.html
What diameter circular punch is that? And what color distress ink is that?
Hello and good morning Laura, that orange circle punch is an oldie but goodie and it punches circles which are 1 1/16" it is a sliver larger than a 1" circle punch. Because the diameter is minimal in size a 1" will work just fine. The ink pad I use is Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo. Thank you for watching!! :)
How do you make your faux vintage tape?
Hello! In the description area, I've added a few links to videos you may find helpful for creating the "vintage tape". Thank you for watching and I hope this inspires you to create. Let me know how it goes! :)
Ouch. Use the heel of your hand to press the punch. 🙂
Learned my lesson. Thank you!
how did you make your so vintage tape?
I've a couple videos but here is one czcams.com/video/lsUqH3v7QTc/video.html Thank you for being here and watching. :)
yes I can imagine because i have fibromyalgia. My hands have arthritis, carpal tunnel, and arthritis.
Hi Joyce. Thank you for watching and for understanding 🙏 Be well😊
