- I’ll begin with an apology. I did not design this to be a 10 minute project. There is an optional window in the flip portion of this pocket folio that I create slowly to show you my easy method of ensuring that the front and back pieces of the window match up perfectly. If you skip the window, the project is much quicker and can be completed in 10-15 minutes. This is a great project for one sheet of 12” x 12” paper or several s raps that are comparable in size. This works as a stand alone pocket or can be glued down in your journal. Please know that my dimensions are listed to use up a sheet of 12” x 12” paper. This can easily be made larger or smaller, as needed. The cuts are at 7” x 12” and then that section is cut again at 5” x 7” and 5” x 7” with a 2” x 7” section remaining. From the top of the 5” x 12” piece, cut a section at 5” x 6 3/4” and then make a tuck spot at roughly 4” x 5”. You’ll have a scrap large enough to make the optional front closure and a decorative piece for a journaling card to go in your tuck spot. This also uses washi to hold the sections together. Thank you for watching and happy creating.
Terrific project, Cori! Can’t wait to try this one! Some unsolicited advice from your pal...don’t worry about saying so, talking fast, etc. You just do you, because you’re absolutely lovely and are sharing wonderful things with all of us! If there is anything about any of us on TH-cam that bothers someone, they don’t have to watch. Period. This old girl has a pretty thick skin after four years of doing videos, but comments about my speech still bother me. Nothing I can change and unkind of whoever to point it out, but words do hurt. So...my friend, just do your thing and be yourself and all will be good. Those of us that appreciate you will be cheering you on! Thanks for sharing your projects and for sharing you! Love and hugs, dear one!! 🤗❤️
You are the best. That was exactly what I needed to hear (because I heard those words, clearly, in “Gayle” voice.) I just need to remind myself of the purpose of my videos.... share the ideas, share the joy that playing with paper brings me and so many others. Thank you sweet friend. Those words of support and encouragement are well received 🥰
PS. Consider yourself “solicited”. I always love and appreciate Gayle wisdom ❤️
No apology needed for a long video my friend, this one is one of my favorites!! Thanks for sharing the process!! Always, Leslie
I love that you talk quickly.....your videos are extremely enjoyable...
Thank you Ann. I know my voice speed doesn’t suit everyone, but it makes me happy to hear that some enjoy it.
I have always been impressed. By your flapping and folding little goodies. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Love you sweet friend
I love this series! ❤️😘🤗
Thank you Dee Dee. I’m having too much fun with it. As evidenced by the chubby book!
“Measure twice, cut once” never apologize for questioning yourself. For me; I never learned anything getting it right the first time. Love your style and tutorials are great
Just amen! I think that, most often, the first project is the trial run where I work out the kinks and bugs. Love your perspective!
For those of us without a sewing machine, thank you‼️ And for those of us that love this but aren't naturally creative/artistic, all of the tips that seem simple are actually greatly appreciated. I am so in love with the flower in the window!! 😍
Sewing by hand is always possible, but it is very time consuming. I’m so glad these videos are helpful. I’m happy to share my experiences and mistakes so others don’t have to make them 😊
I love projects that don't have to be perfect...just cute and/or pretty❣
Thank you Sharon and that describes my projects pretty accurately.... not perfect :)
Cori I have to say these videos you did are just so awesome. I can’t stop watching them 😂.. I love that you took the time to teach each page one by one. Now I know what to make my friend for Christmas. Love these. Gorgeous work, amazing teaching, love your channel. Thank u❤
You are very welcome and I hope you continue to enjoy the process 😊
Another exceptional tutorial, Cori. I thought, Imwould make 2- 1 for a junk journal and 1 for a birthday card. I may use the journaling spaces to write notes to the recipient. Thank you for all the time you put into showing us fabulous things to add to our journals. I always come to you for ideas, for they are always interesting and fun to make.
What a great project, Cori. I appreciate the details on this project and the option for the window. Awesome idea. Thank you for sharing this pocket folio project. I look forward to all of your videos, projects, tips/tricks, and ideas. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you :)
What a great project Cori! Just love it! Those snow scrapers look great but there’s NO chance I will find one here in Australia! lol Snow is just something I have ever seen 😢. Thanks again for your generosity! 😊❤️🇦🇺xxx
Another inspiring video, thank you for sharing Cori! 🥰🇨🇦
Thank you! I’m glad they are encouraging you to make things 😊
i am in love with all your beautiful works, I like even your scrap trays. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you Sylvia. Scrap trays are happy things 😊
I love this series!!!! Thank you! You are a pleasure to watch! I don’t mind a long video! Hugs, Janice
Thank you Janice. I’m happy that you’re finding the series enjoyable 💕
I guess I’m weird…. I find the inking process to be very relaxing. It’s always something I enjoy watching.
I also enjoy inking, but fully realize that most folks don't care to watch it :)
New subbie and already addicted to your unending creativity!!❤️
Thank you and welcome!
Such a great detailed explanation of the project. It makes the process easy to follow. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video! ❤️
Really lovely. New subbie sent here by Gayle Agonstilli.🥰🐞😍
Gayle is just amazing. Welcome and happy to have you join us here
Very clever method of cutting those dreaded windows out!!! I love putting together little flips, flaps, tucks and booklets thanks for sharing your tips and tricks im gonna whip up a few of these tonight! I need a little break from my current work in progress...I get bored so easily or I start obsessing and overthinking and second guessing myself...sometimes I wish I was one of those crafters that can just glue stuff down and not worry about the little imperfections...when I started making journals I figured that some day I'd be able to do that but here we are almost 10 yrs later still obsessing over straight lines or perfectly TORN edges!! lol
I hear you Jamie! One of my biggest personal challenges is to NOT make everything straight and perfect and absolutely symmetrical. I like the ragged and tatty so I'm constantly reminding myself to embrace that! I guess we're all a work in progress 😊
Great video. I love the booklet. Your instructions are very clear. Thanks for the inspiration. Blessings and Hugs 🤗
Thank you and sending blessings and hugs back to you 💕
You are so talented, Cori. I love watching your process.
Thank you :)
Love this and video is not even long. Love this series!
Thank you 💕
I’m lovin’ this Cori,
Especially the window! Tyfs
Hugs Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
The window is just fun and makes it easy to add a personal, memorabilia type touch.
Love the tip on how to cut out a window!
I could watch you 24/7! Every video teaches soo much. Hugz Sweetie
That warms my heart. Thank you 💕
This is fabulous Cori, love how it stays nice and thin yet plenty to do on the inside. My son use to talk fast, almost like he feared words would run out if he didnt. lol lol its only in his adult life he slowed down. I dont think you talk fast at all, and I think you are doing a great job especially with a tri pod right in front of you. If it was me, it would get knocked to the floor many times. lol lol xxxxx
Another great idea and great video. Never too long!
Lol! If only I could convince my students of that. Thank you 💕
You are a very good teacher. Thank you. 🥳
Thank you Sandra. I hope you have fun with the process :)
Wow that was close , I was going no no wrong tape 😂as far as saying so or sew ,,, I am so in grossed I didn’t even notice ,,, Thank you 👍🏻
Lol! The wrong anything is always a possibility 😊
Really love, love, love your proyects! Thank you!
Thank you Silvia 💕
Great video - I do learn from your mistakes {mishaps } excellent instruction 🌵🦋💖
Stumbled across your channel. Caught my eye cause I have that same paper. Have made a small scrapbook with it & will definitely attempt the journal. Window is a beautiful addition- would never have thought of it. Washi is also a great idea. Thank you for the inspiration.
Welcome and it does my heart good to hear that you’ve been inspired. Thank you and happy creating!
I love this! Going to give it a try in a couple sizes! I've recently just found you on youtube and can't imagine how I didn't find you sooner. I found you from watching someone else's video, I believe Wendy. Thank you for the clear description with dimensions to get us started on the right path. Going to binge watch your Flips, Flaps and Folds this week! Have a wonderful week and have fun crafting! Hugs and be safe.
Hi there and I'm sorry I missed this comment. It's great to have you onboard and I hope your questions are answered in the videos you've watched 😊
crafting along again. fun how this turned out. thanks as always for sharing.
So glad you joined me and I hope you’re pleased with your completed pocket folio.
GREAT booklet! Very, very cool Cori! ❤️👍
Thank you 😊
Great tutorial and very easy to follow. I made my folio as you talked us through the making.
Time can be so precious... I’m glad you were able to work along with me.
This is great! You make it look easy! Thanks!
So beautyfull 🥰 I can not enough from your video😍
I love this little folio/booklet. 😁
Thank you 😊
Oh dear...I'm just about finished making a mini journal from junk mail for a project and now I think I have to do this instead. I love how it's thin enough to slip into a journal with a belly band or something.
It is just a great little insert. So versatile and user friendly. Have fun!
Thank you, Cori, for a really great project and the awesome techniques and tips you use in the process. Very helpful! I appreciate seeing what you call mistakes because they’re part of my learning curve and hopefully 🤞🤞 I don’t repeat them. Says she who probably will. LOL!!! 😘😀
Lol! I make them even when I know better. I hope my bloopers help prevent you from making them and thank you 💕
I love this! I especially love the way you used the WASHI Tape to bind it together! I’m going to play around with that idea! Thank you for great ideas and all your videos 😃😍
I absolutely love this idea. Thank you for the inspiration.
It’s good to hear that you’re enjoying it 💕
Thanks, loving this series, you are so inspiring!
Thank you. I’m happy that it’s inspiring you 💕
This is so much fun. I can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴
Thank you and I hope you enjoying making one... or more 😊
Love your project, thanks for sharing...❣👍🏼 I have the square punch & didn't realize I could make a rectangle ☺️.
I love sharing ideas so I’m glad you’ve found some helpful. I think I heard the square-to-rectangle idea about 25 years ago when I was teaching scrapbooking classes. It’s still handy today!
Love this, too! I have to be careful not to say “love” every time I refer to one of your creations! The leaf within the transparency pieces looks great!
LOL! “Love” works. Always 😊. It’s a happy word, indeed.
Love this one page folio Cori!
Thank you!
Wowser! Loved this video! Took copious amounts of notes ;-) Can't wait to escape to my craft room and make one. I am going to use a dried flower that my grandson and I picked and put in the press this past summer
Lol! Thank you. I have a few items that take longer to make, so maybe I’ll mix those it with the shorter projects. Variety is good! The dried flower picked by you and your grandson sounds perfect ❤️
I made this ... love it!! For the front flap that holds the closure, l glued a circle behind the brad (covering the brad legs) and then glued the circle to the cover creating a flap that will turn to release the closure. I just discovered you and love your creativity and creations!!
Thank you and welcome! I love your flap closure idea; creative, practical and fun!
I love this you have such great ideas
So kind of you to say. I’m glad you like it!
This is great, can't wait to try.
Thank you and happy creating!
I’m enjoying this so much!
P.S. I’d love to know more about the purple tape. I’m not a scrap booker. But I think I need purple tape in my life
I’m happy you’re enjoying them 😊
I enjoyed watching your video you gave great instructions
Thank you 💕
Love this
This is so creative! I love it! Tyfs!
Thank you!
Love it! Don't worry about the time, you do an awesome job of explaining and watching the time taken. Very cleaver idea with the square punch to make the correct size window.
Square punches, or square nesting style dies, are a game changer. So easy to use!
Love that it’s a 12 x 12 sheet and I use up all my washi tape. Washi Overload at my house...lol
Lol! Washi overload is a definite thing 😊
Just Love This❤
Thank you! I did that one a while ago, but I'm making a fold right now that was inspired by this book 😊
Love it then you’re fine on the time I love watching your videos
Thank you very much 💕
Your videos are great.
Thank you Hilda 💕
Thank you for sharing this. It is beautiful. The video isn’t too long.
Thank you 😊
Great project, Cori! I love windows, and this is an easy way to get them from a punch. Tfs. 😊
I used to cut them with an exacting knife and the results were... unpredictable. I’m glad you found this helpful.
@@CoriDahmen yes, that’s a hit-or-miss proposition! Looking forward to seeing more of your extreme cleverness! ♥️
@@406annie You’re too kind. Thank you.
Love this tutorial
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does anyone complain that your videos are too long? Personally I like longer ones... you show and share more, and don't seem rushed. If one doesn't have enough time, that's what Watch Later (or pause) is for.
I understand people like the machine sewn look, but for the life of me I don't know why (the tension and stitch quality is awful). Besides that, it weakens the piece because it's perforated. The thread is stronger than paper so with use, the thread will cut the paper between holes. I've seen many examples of that. (Students have asked how to fix the tears.) Then there's the juxtaposition with vintage style and modern technology. In the case of attaching clear plastic to paper, there are glues for that, sewing isn't necessary. But... people should do whatever they like. 🙂
Anyway, thank you for sharing your creations. Your time and effort is appreciated. 👍❤️
Awesome
Thank you!
I love this, did you purchase the leaves? When I'm out walking I see little leaves and flowers now and then and think will they last??? Guess I'll have to look this up 😉
The leaves were on my driveway in November. I just picked up a small handful and laid them in my desk. They got all dry and crinkly. Any pressed or saved flowers or leaves (that are mostly flat) should work!
I have had some luck with partially drying plants and leaves and them covering them, both sides, with glue.
Love this idea, TFS. New subbie for you 🤩
Welcome and thank you 😊 Total small world factor. I recently learned that I’m mostly Scots and your channel popped up as I was searching for Scottish themed journals. As soon as school is out for the year I plan to binge watch your channel 💕
@@CoriDahmen thank you so much, really appreciate it 💖
loved it and all you do!! thanks so much. I will get all caught up this weekend. and now i have to find the mini cluster tutorial, hahha, not sure what those are : ) Teresa in AZ
Welcome and thank you! I should have my scrap Buster video up tomorrow and I’ll share my version of mini clusters, if that helps.
@@CoriDahmen thanks, would love that.
Love all those flaps,.flips & folds!! For me you don't talk to quick and English is not even my first language. 💞
Thank you and that’s good to hear. German? Danish? Swedish? I’m wondering about your first language?
@@CoriDahmen It is Dutch... And I am quite fluent in French too. And not to bad in understanding German. 😊💞
@@inekesauerbier5861 Impressive! My oldest daughter went to grad school in France then lived there for two years. I know just enough French to ask for the restroom, say hello and thank you 😊 If COVID cooperates I plan to visit Germany in December to visit dome Christmas Markets. I’ll certainly seek your advice on learning key phrases!
@@CoriDahmen Hope you will be able to visit some of those markets 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I’m loving all your videos and I’m getting more and more inspired because of your teaching methods . Thank you!
Can you please tell me where to buy the purple tape? I need to buy some and don’t want to buy the wrong kind.
Thank you and welcome! I get mine through Simon Says Stamp. Be warned though, it can and will tear thin and fragile paper. I've had it tear cardstock too, so make sure it is not too sticky if you're using it on something a bit less sturdy.
This is a really beautiful piece, I love all the details, especially the window. You have so much color in your leaves still! How do you dry them, just in a book, or some other method? TIA!
Thank you! Honestly, I just left these on my desk for a few weeks. I forgot to put them between book pages 😊
Thxs Cori, new to all this so finding this series super helpful & inspiring.
My nanna brain probs missed it ...
but did you create front, back & flap in sections, rather than 1 piece scored & folded, to reduct bulk?
Big Aussie cheers & thxs 😍
These are separate pieces, folded then assembled. Thank you and happy creating!
The way you created the window is perfect. I am learning so many tips and tricks from this series. It is a must for all papercrafters. Can you tell me the number of sheets of paper you have put in each signature, in the fabric covered journal for this project? If you mentioned it, I missed it. Many thanks.
Hi and thank you. I made the book with five signatures ( turned out to be too many because of thickness) with four pages in each signature. So, 16 sides (or pages to decorate) per signature.
Great series. Love this booklet. Is the gorilla glue stick just regular or kids
Thank you and it is a regular glue stick. I get it on Amazon. It is by no means perfect (I often use Art Glitter glue on the edges) but it lies flat and covers without bubbles... and best of all, no lumps or clumps!
You can tell that you are a teacher because you explain the details very well. Thank you for that! Could you tell me where you got the purple tape or what I would look for in order to find it.
Thank you and sure! I love that stuff. SimonSaysStamp.com sells it and it’s called purple tape, or thermoweb purple tape. On Amazon it can also be found using purple tape or low tack adhesive. I would imagine anyone who carries thermo web adhesive would stick it. It’s a bit spendy for tape, but it is easily reused and a roll lasts me a good amount of time.
Cori Dahmen Thank you, now I can go directly to the product I need. The rabbit hole of products is a dangerous thing. 😊
@@carolbeeding4270 amen to that! When I woke up yesterday, never once did I consider I’d buy a Baby Grogu/Yoda. Yet, there you go 🤣
@@CoriDahmen 😂 were you watching Gayle Agostinelli? Her last video showed that her Baby Yoda had arrived.
@@carolbeeding4270 Yes! And it was so cute that I caved and ordered one. Her recommendation got me hooked on the Mandalorian series in the first place.
You may speak fast, but I can pause, and back up repeatedly till I understand what you are saying. I'm profoundly deaf and in real life I lip read (masks are the bain of my existence lol), fortunately between what I can hear, CC and the visuals, I get by.
You just warmed my heart. I have a huge soft spot and a deep respect for the hard-of-hearing and deaf community. I'm deaf in one ear (since birth) and only grasp a fraction of the challenges you can face on a daily basis. Note to self: ALWAYS turn on the caption option.
