This is by far one of the most thorough and well thought out tutorials on paper crafting. Not a lot of unnecessary dialog just great concise intelligent instruction. Such a pleasure to watch and follow. If you follow the way it is taught...you will end up with an impressive project.
I used your tutorial to made two of these for my daughters-in-law for Mother's Day.You deserve the credit for them turning out so well. Your tutorial is easy to follow, your instructions are thorough, and clear. This is the first "book" I ever did and was so excited that they actually turned out and look awesome. I just wanted to say thank you. In looking at your other videos and posts you are a very talented lady. Hats off to you for sharing your tutorials for all to enjoy and learn !!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this tutorial. I am usually a bit slow to catch on with these things so I need all the video's I can get! Thanks again.
thank you so very much for the tutorial. i am finally going to try a paper bag mini for the first time. wish me luck. lol. hope you have a great day. hugs, Shan
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to follow your instructions and start my vertical bag mini album. So far I am loving it. Love watching your videos.
Laura, the first page, or what I call the inside of the front over is just chipboard, however, I took another paper bag and cut it down to 5 inches so I could use the bag as a pocket for my inside front cover instead of creating a pocket from Cardstock. Then I start with actual pages. I ave the smoothe side facing and attached my flap then when you turn he page it is the backside of the bag that has the pocket at the bottom. So not counting the inside front cover, it is smooth, flap, pocket, etc
you really did a "how to make the album for dummies"... like me. ;) I just can't do it if i do not have someone like you going through the details haha. Yes, i still need exact instructions. I really thank you for doing so!
Thanks for this- I made a cute Halloween mini with this assembly and first positive result. I figured out I do not have patience for tacky tape on the hinges- had to use scotch liquid adhesive so it allowed me enough time to line up page with hinge. Thanks again. Linda
thanks! You will find the information in theVertical Paper Bag Mini Album Series. I had so many requests to show how to create this style of mini album from start to finish that i created a series of videos. I give all of the measurements and information in each video. The series consists of five videos. It is called Vertical Paper Bag Mini Album Series. The first video is broken down into two parts part 1a and 1b.
Yes, I made my flaps from black Cardstock and then matted them with the design paper. I didn't get one of my flaps on quite straight either. I had to use the UnDu to fix it. Thanks for watching!
As a wood worker and quilter I can appreciate the time you have put into your work. Your detail is very exquisite. I must say I am new to scrapbooking and I do appreciate the video you have created…many thanks!!! lol I understand everything but how to attach the covers could you elaborate a little more. Thanks Lgiffer3
Thanks so much for sharing this! I loved the mini when you posted and guessed "stack the deck" but I love your work and it's good to see the details! thanks again sweetie!!!
I have been looking all over for a vertical mini!!! TYTY!! I will go and get the bags this weekend!! I want to make this style for my bday challenge mini!! Your books are so lovely!! I cant wait to try but they wont be as gorgeous as yours!! TFS the tutorial!!
You're welcome! I actually did a whole tutorial series for the Vertical Paper bag mini album. It a set of videos. The first one is a Getting started video. The next video in the series shows how to build the pages. Here is the link to part 1a th-cam.com/video/_Aj9oMQYtVg/w-d-xo.html Here is the getting started video which lists the supplies you will need..th-cam.com/video/CqcgJZKKLVk/w-d-xo.html
I have a whole series on his to create the vertical paper bag mini album. There is a set of 6 videos where I create this style of mini album along with you.
Hi, love this album. When you make your flap, do you first make it with a basic cardstock and then cover it or just make it with the decorative cardstock? I used a white cardstock and then covered it as it seemed like it would make it more sturdy. Anyway, I made a mess of the flap. For some reason I measured the width of all of them wrong so they didn't cover the whole opposite page. Also, didn't get the flaps in the gussets straight enough and some look like a sagging door...LOL.
Hi there I am all new to makingbooks or anything, I didnt get a chance to see how you actually made the binding for the paper bag album, also I would like to know how you made a second flap to fold out on the right side of the album.
I actually have a Video series showing how to create this style of mini album for start to finish. The first video is a getting started video. Then there is part 1a and 1b. Then the series continues. I think there are 6 videos in the series.
Love these mini's and your instructions are so easy to follow, thank you very much, I have subscribed to your utube and your email newsletters, thanks again
Thanks for making this tutorial, I just asked my friend "How did she make those flap pages?" and here you make this! Awesome! You made a beautiful Christmas mini!! Hugs, Sue
I'm confused about one thing (for now, anyway) and that's the very first page. Is the first decorated page you show the one with the flap/pocket at the bottom? So, is the back side or smooth side attached to your chipboard cover or is it just attached to the hinge system? It looks like the 2nd page is the smooth side with the flap page, so as you go along is it the back side of the flap, then the next sack with the bottom pocket?, Pocket, smooth, flap, pocket, smooth, flap? Thanks again.
Loved the tutorial but could you just show your black completed book slowly at the end to see how it all goes together. That way we get to appreciate your design and skills. Thanks for giving me some great ideas
subscribed to you today saw you on beckys channel auntbeckscreations :) lovely album thank you for sharing , so now i am going to stalk all of your videos hehe Amelia from South Africa xxxx
hi!! loved your album... this is the first video i saw of a vertical album...it was really handy and pretty...actually i need your help...can u make an album of I WILL MISS YOU...plz...plz...plz... my best friend is leaving the school..so i want to give her something special...something handmade...and i hv many photos of her...so i want to give her some...in the shape of a cute album....reply soon...plz..
After I had posted this tutorial I actually went back and did an entire series on this project. I actually create the project with you. Here are 6 videos I think in the whole series.
Great idea but your tutorial needs more instructions as to assembly. What you show at the end of 20 minutes doesn't look anything like the example. That is why the viewers have so many questions. Thank you for reading my comment.
+lanna lane I'm assuming your comment was ment to be helpful observation to better improve a video but the way in which you phased it was not kind. Making videos takes a lot of time and energy to prep film and edit. You'll understand the more when you start creating your own videos and channel content. Respectfully Stephanie
I really liked the album, but I was hoping for more teaching in this tutorial. I stopped watching about 1/3 of the way through because I realized you weren't actually constructing the album in the video. This makes it extremely difficult to follow along and remember what you were teaching. I'm not trying to come across in a rude way at all, and I hope this doesn't sound harsh. I guess the bottom line is....it would be better if you'd construct an actual album - complete with binding, instead of sending people elsewhere (you want to keep people in YOUR channel, afterall! :) ).
Please could you put your work up about 4inches so that we can actually see what you are doing? There are so many of you wonderful ladies who do the same thing. You need to see your own videos before you post them for us to see. Please

Tfs! Been subbed to you for a while, and lover your work. Great tutorial. Will be doing this one next! :o) -Tracie-
Great idea but your tutorial needs more instructions as to assembly. What you show at the end of 20 minutes doesn't look anything like the example. That is why the viewers have so many questions. Thank you for reading my comment.
I love your videos, but can hardly hear you in them.
Could you slow down on the "ummm"s? You explainations are good, that would make them even better.
My apologies.
+My Sisters Scrapper Ginger your videos are Amazing! Thanks for the time and effort you put into making them!
Hugs,

I'm assuming your comment was ment to be helpful observation to better improve a video but the way in which you phased it was not kind. Making videos takes a lot of time and energy to prep film and edit. You'll understand the more when you start creating your own videos and channel content.

+Stephanie Stickles Thanks! This video is one that I did over 3 years ago. I like to think I've gotten better at it. :)

+My Sisters Scrapper Could you provide a link for that tutorial, because I just spent an hour on your Channel and Blog and can't find it. :(
+headbangermom here is the first video.. th-cam.com/video/_Aj9oMQYtVg/w-d-xo.html
Please could you put your work up about 4inches so that we can actually see what you are doing? There are so many of you wonderful ladies who do the same thing. You need to see your own videos before you post them for us to see. Please
Sorry, this video was created in 2012. I have really tried to improve. I do view my videos before posting.
She says the same thing over to much and takes too long just go ahead and stop repeating so much we can see just do it'
sound needs to be turned up
😥
Lost interest with your repeat measurements.
Too slow
talk alot
