How to make mini album pockets {By: Marion}

[AriLyrMerSir]

I realize this is pretty old as far as videos go (2009) - but it was so helpful and simple to follow I just wanted to say "Thanks!". I've been watching tons of tutorials lately - but so many of them seem to skip over the seemingly "simpler" aspects - like adding pockets, finished bindings (for altered books), etc. - this was such a gem to run across I can't say enough good things. Thanks for your time and willingness to share these tips/tutorials with others. :) It was a GREAT help to me.

Chong, I'm sure that any ink can be used!

[chong9489]

sorry but is normal ink pad possible? must it be distressed ink? please reply (:

[KraftyKatsy]

Love that pocket. I've been looking for a tut just on pockets so i can use them in a mini.

Thanks for doing this tut. :)

[friskerbizkit]

Hi, GREAT tag!!! What company and style is the trimmer that you are using to cut your paper? I need a big heavy duty one like that!!

[michelleduro]

[PersistantPuppy]

I loved this video, and have subscribed, but....the huge stuff you use???? wow, I have never seen such a big circle puncher!! lol.

I have a question, you mention that you score at top of your paper then u fold it down (mountain fold). However when i score on my pattern paper, the pattern paper looks like its slightly scratch, so if i fold mountain fold, it looks obvious that where i score the line is very visible on the paper as some the papers where the line is looks faded. So i try scorring lighter on the paper so it wont scratch but then the line is not so crisps. Any tips on that??

[LadyProsper]

where in store can i buy atg tape and the gun?

To add to Missy Pooh's comment: I too have this paper trimmer. My problem is I can't change the blade!! I went a few years without using it, so I forgot the details of changing the blades. I did, however, unscrew the little round nut, but the blade doesn't seem to want to come off with just that action... any suggestions?? Thanks, Teresa

[1MissyPooh5]

I have a fiscars paper trimmer and it never cuts the paper straight. Your cuts are smooth clean and crisp and most importantly straight. What brand make or model is this trimmer you using?

[scrappingmommyof2]

This is a fantastic tutorial!! Thanks so much for sharing it...

[worker4ever123]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I have learned so much from you! I talk about "Marion" so much, that everyone around me also knows who you are! LOL :-D

[thenorsugirl]

great tip for aging the paper!

[scrappygalinsc]

What kind of cutter was that ? Thanks for sharing.

[kathydid47]

Slick! I've tried these and not trimmed off the sides....didn't know that! Great video!  Really helpful!

[kiricalo]

I love how you explain everything in such detail. I will be coping this tonight for my son's school project.

[swingersweb]

love it!

thnx for sharing!!

[bewitchedgirl]

I'd love to know where you got the adhesive runner...Ive been looking everywhere for one that size!

[Shonz14nw]

Massive job, I have tried so many times to sponge the edges but man what a mess. Your way seems to be so flawless will def give your way a go. Thank you so much for the tip its so much easier and for sure will be much nicer.

[jljerivano]

Love the pocket! Thank you for showing us how to make it! : )

[mysugarplumcottage]

Maybe you could do a video of that completed vintage album you are doing? I would love that!

Sorry to be so annoying... it's just the vintage-ness looks so cool!

Joyce

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

[mysugarplumcottage]

Oh I will definitely "pocket" this one! Thank you Marion!

But... OK, you did it again... we only got a sneak peek of the awesome vintage page you did! Please show it!

[KarenScraps]

Loved the wet brush technique to blend the distress! TFS

[starlighttoheaven]

It's really cute and will try it on one of my project. Thank you.

[momma2ski]

Thank you Marion for the answers to many a question!

~Jill

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

Thanks Jill you're welcome! man you guys are up late! You must be scrapping like me lol!

[MissouriAngel2]

How do you make it the bigger one

I am gonna try this tomorrow

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

You just measure how big you need the pocket to be and double it, then you fold it in half. After that cut width at a half inch wider than you need and fold quarter inch flaps on each side.

[MissouriAngel2]

ok cool

how is the little one doing

thanks,,

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

She's doing really well, a little cross eyed so we're hoping she grows out of that. She's so cute though, we just can't stop kissing her. Thanks for asking!

[MissouriAngel2]

she will grow outta that just kinda try and correct her by like putting your hand over her face sorta like ur washing it.. and that might help.

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

I really hope so, it runs in both mine and my husband's family so I'm really hoping she does. I don't think I could bare her having eye surgery poor thing. A few of my family members had to and my hubby had it as a child and one eye still doesn't see too well but he's not cross eyed anymore.

[Craftdogfun101]

Very cute :)

[APieceofCraftdotcom]

Thank you!
