Oh My 😁😁😁 I love you girl! LOL I love MacGyver, watched that back in Czech rep, never missed an episode. 🤩 Thank you for good laugh and super great video. Big hug!
That's perfect spy music! :D Don't you just hate those 'really good places' where you put stuff you never find when you want it? You find it when you look for something else and just... That's where I put it! And the stuff you're searching for is just poof, gone... until you search for something else... and so it begins again. Love how you make this envelope! :)
@@NiktheBooksmith me too! And, I live in a tiny apartment! How many places can you have! :D Sometimes I think that I should write them down, all those special places... But, I'd forget where I placed that list so... :D
The funky spy music goes along with MacGyvering an envelope like Eva from Bohemian Crafting! Nik, I'm loving this new lap book series! I've missed you. I hold you partially responsible for my inability to look at an old, falling apart book or random scrap of dirty paper without some crazy, squirrel-driven, folding and gluing project popping into my head. To be fair, Eva is also partly to blame, but you were in my head first! Thank you for sharing your creativity and humor.
I completely agree! My husband said he knows when I finish watching a Nik the Booksmith video, there’s going to be some charges going through on eBay for antique and vintage books!
Agree with Eva and envelopes. She does some magic! You are the queen of book binding and lap books. You Eva are my favorites. Been following you both for a long time.
😂 I said “that’ll do pig” the same time you did! Love the spy music. But the envelope is fantastic! Can’t wait to see more of this amazing lapbook! 🤗❤️ Tamara
I ABSOLUTELY crowd myself out of space and then finally have a frenzy of shoving everything out of my way while making sounds of exasperation and barnyard animals... Thanks again for the laughs and the inspiration!
Bohemian Crafting is incredible, and Eva inevitably leaves me feeling like a dunce. She is talented and has great vision! I love your frame around the acetate window. Thanks!!
Hahaha, yeah, you're so right, Nik! In my mind, I always call Ewa 'The Paper Magician", and what she makes out of envelopes is just fabulous! I had a good laugh 'cause of your video, thank you, Nik♡
Oh. Yes. My work table is so crowded I had to get another one, just so I had space to do anything... that's filling up too now. Note to self: put stuff away! Haha. The expression in our house is "that'll do, Donkey, that'll do."
I loved the spy music….and that colored tape you pulled out was just perfect! I’d love to just find uses for all the random stuff in my stash like that. That may be my challenge for this year 😂
Your videos are more than informative, they are super entertaining as well. Keep 'em coming. I so hear ya on hiding things from yourself. I just moved half my craft stuff into another craft room (yes must have two, sister is living with me and needs space too...that's my story and sticking with it) and wow the stuff I found was amazing. Keep up the wonderful work.
Hi Nik, I'm new to your channel and I love your work. I am also getting a kick out of your humor.....spy movie music! First video I watched you were sewing a book binding. Your video answered every question I had, so thank you for that. You had returned home from a trip, to thirsty plants in need of a drink. Next, I plan to look through you video library. So thanks again and hello from Connecticut.
Your vids are my fave aesthetic! gag me if you ever use little flower or toadstool stickers. I love the beauty of butterflies but I cringe for them at stickers. Not a lace girl either. You and Eva are such inspirations! Yet, I watch Gayle everyday and throughly enjoy her. What is it about journal making that provides something for everyone? 🦌💌❤️📕📚📨
Just an idea I hope will be helpful...you can seal that cut with liquid bandage or super glue which stings but works. Just incase you would rather not wear the gloves. Sorry I have an idea and a solution for everything and some peiple do not appreciate that talent so feel free to move right past this idea if you don't think it is useful. 😁
Lol you sound just like me, Kim. If someone is having a problem, I can't help but to offer solutions. I wonder if its a by-product of being a people pleaser as a kid? But, no worries whatsoever, I appreciate your concern and excellent idea I hadn't thought of!
i love this envelope idea - just learned of Eva several months ago - she's wonderful and its funny that i used your "old tape" technique yesterday to repair a book page lol - its such a cool look - thank you Nik and i look forward to the next step - be well xx
Oh good heavens, I always grab the wrong end of my Uhu stick (sounds like a bad date-just saying LOL) and when I "put things away" heaven knows when I will ever see them again-could be an interesting mystery novel!!
The envelope window is very cool. I finally used the one I made following your tutorial on how to make glassine with clear spray varnish and tracing paper. It's one of my favorite videos and will always be impressed by that. Also, my brain thinks the same thing about the UHU stick *giggle* lid! A lot of containers have substantial or unique lids (think deodorant, paint, hairspray), so I think our brains just default to that.
Lovin the little spy animation! 😀I’m always inspired to do stuff when I watch your videos…however I’m currently injured also so ‘doing stuff’ in small doses only…damned frustrating
Nice lapbook, I will give you a clue on how to remember which is the top of the glue just think of the writing if it upside down you are on the bottom it is right way up than thats the top
You asked about crowding the space--I just worked myself off the table. Using the drawer, wastepaper basket, and the floor. I've been making this with you, which is kinda nervy on my part because I have a number and spatial dyslexia. Many of my things are backwards, but they seem to work. lol Can't keep up with your genius, but I'm trying. xx
That was Remington Steele level music, there! Everyone I know who uses UHU says the same thing about the lid. Vexing, but not enough to use a different glue.
Hey question..when I make a book cover I'm having a hard time getting my measurements precise. Can you please do a video or send me to one? I've sure watched what I think is all of yours.....
if you sing the words tippy toes, tippy toes over and again to the spy music, its really funny, l well it was to me. I thought the map made your project perfect
The spy music fits with the gloves...leaving no fingerprints on this one! Spy at heart!
And the little spy graphic is hilarious
I agree! I thought she didn’t want to leave DNA or fingerprints, then we had the spy music. I actually did laugh out loud.🧤
Oh My 😁😁😁 I love you girl! LOL I love MacGyver, watched that back in Czech rep, never missed an episode. 🤩 Thank you for good laugh and super great video. Big hug!
😂 Big hugs right back to you! ❤️
The end was the best….I was laughing out loud…..
Both you and Eva are wizards of envies. You both create amazing things. They are so different, it is hard to imagine you both start with an envelope.
That's perfect spy music! :D
Don't you just hate those 'really good places' where you put stuff you never find when you want it? You find it when you look for something else and just... That's where I put it! And the stuff you're searching for is just poof, gone... until you search for something else... and so it begins again.
Love how you make this envelope! :)
I have more "secret" hiding places than regular putting-places >.
@@NiktheBooksmith me too! And, I live in a tiny apartment! How many places can you have! :D Sometimes I think that I should write them down, all those special places... But, I'd forget where I placed that list so... :D
No, you’re getting “better” at hiding things, but “worse” at finding them! I’m right there with you!
N, your sense of humor is sterling! TFS!
The funky spy music goes along with MacGyvering an envelope like Eva from Bohemian Crafting!

I am honored to share blame with Eva 😄 you are very welcome!
I completely agree! My husband said he knows when I finish watching a Nik the Booksmith video, there’s going to be some charges going through on eBay for antique and vintage books!
😎 music, and perfect with the gloves. Lol. Both you and Eva perform magic with envelopes. Love ya both ❤❤❤
Agree with Eva and envelopes. She does some magic! You are the queen of book binding and lap books. You Eva are my favorites. Been following you both for a long time.
PinkPanther movie music. I love the envelope.
I think I giggled more during this video than I have in a loooong time! Thanks Nik!😉😊
"Crowding myself out of space to work" is my new favorite phrase......All. The. TIME. 😂
😂 I said “that’ll do pig” the same time you did! Love the spy music. But the envelope is fantastic! Can’t wait to see more of this amazing lapbook! 🤗❤️ Tamara
😂
I ABSOLUTELY crowd myself out of space and then finally have a frenzy of shoving everything out of my way while making sounds of exasperation and barnyard animals...
Thanks again for the laughs and the inspiration!
That’ll do Nik 😁
😄
So much fun in 9 minutes 10. 😊❤x
That is hilarious - Eva and macgyvering the envelopes
You always make me smile Nik, thank you
I have seen several of Eva's videos and she has some great ideas and awesome folios--but so do you, Nik.
Thanks for all the things you share with us.
What a transformation!
very Pink Panther at the end! Loving this series!!!
Enjoying these vids while on vacation. You and Eva are two of my favourites! 😊
The spy music was fun! So was your video-a great transformation of an envelope- rescued from the bin.
LOL...dying...but YES!! Eva, an envelope and YOU MY DEAR could save us all!!!! I LOVE this project Nik...it's fantastic!!! xo
Love the way you take us with you in your crafthing and thoughts, the spy and music loved it😂🤩
Love this new serie, Nik! And, yes, I guess most of us crowed ourselfs in while creating! It's part of the job description, LOL!
Omg you crack me up when the little detective 🕵️♀️ 😂
I like watching you make stuff, it inspires me to go out of my comfort zone
Bohemian Crafting is incredible, and Eva inevitably leaves me feeling like a dunce. She is talented and has great vision! I love your frame around the acetate window. Thanks!!
Excellent video! I laughed out loud at the lost glue stick and the spy music was spot on! 😂
Hahaha, yeah, you're so right, Nik! In my mind, I always call Ewa 'The Paper Magician", and what she makes out of envelopes is just fabulous!
I had a good laugh 'cause of your video, thank you, Nik♡
Oh. Yes. My work table is so crowded I had to get another one, just so I had space to do anything... that's filling up too now. Note to self: put stuff away!
Haha. The expression in our house is "that'll do, Donkey, that'll do."
Love the spy graphics! Lol. Music was a great match!! Love love the window in the envelope!! Thanks for sharing Nic .. ❤❤❤
That envelope is the bomb!
Yes it does sound like spy music. I loved the spy on the side!!!
I loved the spy music….and that colored tape you pulled out was just perfect! I’d love to just find uses for all the random stuff in my stash like that. That may be my challenge for this year 😂

Fantastic envelope
I love your videos

I will argue that you got better at hiding things, you have just gotten worse at finding them. :) Always love your videos, thanks for making them!

This is so wonderfully detailed and complex.
😂ugh glue stick gets me every time too!
Eagerly following along! I ended up starting a 2nd lapbook between videos 😳😆. Your inspiration and kills be HIGHLY appreciated 😉.
Love it! Is this a mystery?
Love the music and the way the video ended. Intriguing… Carol from California
i love this envelope idea - just learned of Eva several months ago - she's wonderful and its funny that i used your "old tape" technique yesterday to repair a book page lol - its such a cool look - thank you Nik and i look forward to the next step - be well xx
So cool! Love the music! 😍
This was so funny and amazing, Eva is good but I think you are better, have a great weekend, be safe love Marga
Oh good heavens, I always grab the wrong end of my Uhu stick (sounds like a bad date-just saying LOL) and when I "put things away" heaven knows when I will ever see them again-could be an interesting mystery novel!!
😂

Yes! Bomb building in a James Bond movie! Lol
Lovin the little spy animation! 😀I’m always inspired to do stuff when I watch your videos…however I’m currently injured also so ‘doing stuff’ in small doses only…damned frustrating
Nice lapbook, I will give you a clue on how to remember which is the top of the glue just think of the writing if it upside down you are on the bottom it is right way up than thats the top
Believe it or not, that did dawn on me. Now, if it would continue to dawn on me, that would be great 😂
Love it, as usual! And I was so happy to see that I’m not the only one that gets faked out by which end to open on those Uhu sticks!
Nice Nik.
I do the same thing with the UHU stick! 😊
I've just watched Eva at Bohemian Crafting before I watched you! You're right she is amazing and can use an envelope in so many different ways. 😂😂
😂 thank you 🙏 -21.3 in Arctic Norway today 🙌🌼🌺🏵🌻🌹
whoa....that's uh...chilly! 🥶 stay warm, Lena!
Yes on the 💣 spy movie music. Very pink pantheresque
Ooo great word, pantheresque...très élégant!
That music reminds me of Spy vs. Spy from Mad magazine! 🤣
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine...and built a really cool lapbook.🤩 Here's lookin' at you, kid.😉
You asked about crowding the space--I just worked myself off the table. Using the drawer, wastepaper basket, and the floor.
I've been making this with you, which is kinda nervy on my part because I have a number and spatial dyslexia. Many of my things are backwards, but they seem to work. lol
Can't keep up with your genius, but I'm trying. xx
I do the same thing with my glue stick. LOL they fake us out!!! LOL
That was Remington Steele level music, there! Everyone I know who uses UHU says the same thing about the lid. Vexing, but not enough to use a different glue.
I wonder if they make the same mistake in Australia? 🤔😂
You need some finger cots. They slip over your finger to protect it. They come in different sizes.
I have some! If I could only remember where I put them.
Funny, my husband veers as well! I wonder if it’s a male trait?
Can you tell us where to find vintage paper like this? Having a hard time finding stuff like this in The Netherlands 😞 Thank you so much!
Does your UHU glue stick ever get black mold?
Do you always take envelopes like this apart before you tea or coffee stain them?
Well, I have a tendency to look at the person next to me when they are talking, which of course causes me to veer. 😂
Hey question..when I make a book cover I'm having a hard time getting my measurements precise. Can you please do a video or send me to one? I've sure watched what I think is all of yours.....
Crowding myself out of space~~is there any other way to work.
😇💖🙏🙌
if you sing the words tippy toes, tippy toes over and again to the spy music, its really funny, l well it was to me. I thought the map made your project perfect
Boo Boo finger. LOL
🤗😂💕💕
Riveting
Hey, same here! with the glue stick mixed up ends, they both look like the glue end. Why? why? why?🦌💌❤️📕📚📨☕️😞💁🏼♂️🤔
That music at the end would be great for a craft time mystery video. 😀
