- This is another look at the construction process of the 4” x 6”, five pocket notebook. To create this you need either 1 sheet of double sided 12” x 12” paper, 2 sheets of single sided 12” x 12” paper or four sheets of double sided 6” x 6” paper. The paper used for the journaling portion of your notebook can be anything you choose. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you for watching and happy creating.

Excellent instruction, watched Gayles & have to admit I was confused, but I laughed right along with her, we all go through those moments. Thank you for setting us on the right track & for sharing again
I’m a constant work-in-progress, so I’m happy to re-explain, when and as needed 😊
Wow!!! Poor Gayle!! She is too funny!! And Cori you are too sweet!! Lol!! Thanks for the video!! Love you from Southeast Texas 🥰🥰
Funny, I watched Gayle struggle a bit and it made me chuckle bc she was laughing. I think this video better explained things, of course the more you make them the easier it will get. Thanks 💕
My struggle is often not how to assemble them, but the best way to show others how it was done. I sure love that GA 💕
Great instructions…very easy to follow along! One down…many more to go! 😊 Thanks, Cori!
You are most welcome Pamela!
What a lovely project and a great way to use those papers wisely to have collected. Appreciate you being so clear with your instructions and all the other tips you give.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Cori. Haha, Gayle is a riot! It was hurting my brain too, but I thi k I get it now!
“Cori hurts my brain”… I might have heard that before 🤣
I really like your new ink pad and glue holder. It has the 4 holes I've wanted. Ink dauber, Glitter glue, Fabritac, and Glue stick. Once again....You nailed it!!! Great tutorial.
Thank you Kathryn. I'm always trying to improve on things and find items that make creating easier 😊
Darlene here. Thanks for elaborating on this. I did watch Gayle because I just love her. I always watch hers. I do appreciate your clarification here, though. Thanks so much.
My pleasure and I hope the clarification helped. #Team♥️GA
Thank you for sharing this idea. I have tons of 12x12 papers that's been lying around my room and I don't even know what to do with them anymore. I am so excited to try this project.
I am guilty with buying expensive notebooks to use as my journal even though I am capable of creating one for myself. But your tutorials always encourages me to stop buying things that is unnecessary, and try to be resourceful.
I am 23, and a college student. And sometimes I feel insecure that my hobby is not as interesting as anybody else. I love journaling and I've been doing it for more than 10 years now.
Thank you for always keeping my love for journaling and creativity stronger by showing to us your love for it. It means a lot to me.
Keep safe and continue creating!
(Sorry fory bad English)
Your English is great and thank you for sharing your story. Do what makes you happy! I often use my paper time as a stress release from schoolwork, so I’m happy you have that outlet as well. Thank you for watching and happy creating 💕
Dear Leza, I read your comment and I think it’s a warm and thoughtful note. I don’t know that I’ve ever written such a lengthy reply to anyone but I read your comment and was compelled to reply to you. Please know I’m not a weirdo stalker type. I’m a gramma to two girls I wish were as thoughtful and grateful as you seem. Anyone should feel blessed by reading such heartfelt words. While I read your comment I never gave your “poor English” a thought, rather for a 23 year old I’m impressed. Most young adults use texting shortcuts when writing what I term as “formal or proper letter”. I believe the younger generations might call it an “Old School” type of letter(?) Nevertheless don’t I feel you need to apologize for a heartfelt letter of any kind when written with such warm and truth. I remember wanting to “fit in” and be like my peers when I was a young lady so I understand what you mean. My passion at your age )and much younger) was sewing. Like you not many girls knew how or showed much desire to sew as I did. I’m a young 63 years old now and I must agree with Corey , “Do what you love”. I don’t think I speak to one of the people I did at 23. And You’ll never guess…my passion for sewing is as strong as it ever was. Express yourself the way you feel most comfortable and what brings you the most joy. Im addition to sewing I just love making junk journals don’t you? It brings me a similar satisfaction as with quilting, where I can take all the discarded pieces and create something beautiful from them. I feel today’s society has become so “disposable”. Not much value placed on things that aren’t new or “the latest”. There’s a feeling of triumph for me when I repurpose something, anything from up cycling second hand furniture to reusing buttons from an old favorite blouse. I hope you keep your passion for journaling thorough out your life as I have with needle & thread. People often comment “You’re so talented and good at this”. For which I reply “I’ve been sewing for 50+ years. If I’m not good at it by now perhaps I should take up piano.” Lol
Albert Einstein said, “Creativity is intelligence having fun”. I can’t agree more.
Best wishes for a long, healthy & creative life.

@@keelyandhercrazywheatenter573 Thank you so much for your kind and lovely message. I was raised by my grandparents and they greatly influenced my preferences. From music, the way I dress, and my thinking. All of those was influenced by them. It was also my grandparents who first appreciated my craft works and understand my love for journaling and papers.
English is not my first language that's is why I have a limited selection of words to convey my thoughts. So, I just make sure I only use simple words.
Me too don't understands how my generation communicate these days. Most of my friends either double or tripple my age, so I am used to communicate with clear words.
Also, you are right. Might as well enjoy the hobby that I love rather than copy what other people do.
I’m 41. I wish I could tell my 23 yr old self - do what makes YOU happy. Do it for yourself and no one else. Life is hard enough without judging ourselves or not doing what we love. 💜
Thank you so much for doing this video. I watched Gayle and it was beyond me. But I was able to make it with your video this time. I did not see the first video so I was only confused by Gayle. I did not put a place to write in mine because it's going to be in a journal for a young lady who won't be doing writing in it. But I love all the pockets so I can stick so many little things in it too make her happy. Thank you so much
Thank you for going over this again with us. 😘
You are so welcome!
I told Gayle, wish we could have been watching cori watch you make this. I could hear you saying no, oh no. No. Haha. My theory is, we learn more from the mistakes and struggles than we do from perfection. Thanks for sharing again!
Your theory is spot on! Research shows that making mistakes during the learning process increases the value of the lesson and the retention. Mistakes, and recovery, with the win!
@@CoriDahmen I homeschooled my kiddos and it was always the mistakes that we learned most from!
I can hardly wait to make this. You did a wonderful job with this tutorial. Thank you
I hope you have fun with it. Happy creating!
I did see Gayle and it made me love her even more! Thank 🌻 you for the redo. You are so wonderful
#Team♥️GA
Yes!
Thanks my friend!! And I love your new prototype ink holder!! Have a super night!! Always, Leslie
Thank you Leslie. So far, I’m pleased with it!
I laughed while watching you make THIS video. It does lend itself to laughter, which is not a bad thing, after all.
😊
@@CoriDahmen I did love your ideas, and made a "prototype " as you went along. Its a great project. :)
Thanks, Cori, looking forward to making it. I thought I would make them from my Christmas paper stash and then at Thanksgiving give them to friends as a place to keep gift receipts, recipes, and lists for the holiday season. A huge thank you from Canada! xx
Super idea Lynne! Of course, they can be made longer/taller, it would just require another sheet of cardstock. It would be easy to add tabs to the journaling section as well, if needed.
What a great project for those 12 x 12 papers, I so love this project. I am going to try my hand at a few. Thanks so much for the tutorial. : )
I'm happy to hear that you like them and I hope you enjoy creating it!
Great video Cori. I too watched Gayle yesterday and had a little chuckle with her as she got confused. Love this project both times 🥰. Xxx
Thank you Rachel. I can just see it as you might make it, with soft colors and florals and lace 💕
Thank you for redoing this …. I was lucky enough to get it at round one ……
I watched Gayle and enjoyed chuckling at times along with her!
Once again, I want to say I so enjoy your videos
and appreciate your sharing with us in the worldwide TH-cam community and in your community!!!!
Blessings …🥰
Your comments always make me smile Joy. Thank you 😊
Thank you so SO much, i made one along with the video, witch went pretty easy …
I am gonna make this for my congregation members for our convention this year.
It fits perfectly in our bible, so we can use it to make notes during.
Love love love it!
Thank you again!
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed the project and that you’re going to put them to such good use. I hope the convention is uplifting and beneficial ♥️
@@CoriDahmen thank you, it is fantastic how easy they are, i have made already 8 ones, ready to use 🙂😊
I thought it was just me. When I saw Gayles video, I was like it isn’t just me. Thank you for slowing this down for a newbie like me. Love your videos and I have bought your makes in the past. 💐
I hope this one made the construction a bit more clear Jodi 😊
I love this project. After seeing both yours and Gayle’s, I think I will be able to make several of the folios. I know I kill now. Repetition is a great way to learn something. Hugs
Wait Wait wait! I was just watching Camellia craft designs and then I was re-watching this video and I heard you say " Bob's your uncle". THAT IS IT! I finally found the funniest thing I've ever heard!!! From, N. Calif!!. I love all you crazy crafters!!! = :D
But wait. Bob is everyone’s uncle, right? 🤣
Tysm for doing this again , I watched gayle n so funny when she just kinder through the papers a tad in the air
I will be making this very soon.xsp
GA makes me smile. Happy creating!
@@CoriDahmen smile n laugh n u can't help urself do same thing
I love all of your cute ideas
I really liked this video and can't wait to make a few of these fabulous journals! TYFS
Yess, thank you so much for sharing. I just found you trough Tina Guilbert. I wanted to make a gratitude journal with my students. This seems to be perfect for it. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent! I did this project with some of my 5th grade students a few years ago, and they loved it.
Small books like this are so convenient to have. Wonderfully!!
Still love this. My sister made one, and it turned out so cute
Thank you 😊
I love it and was able to follow along. Thank you for sharing
That is still one of my favorite one sheet projects. I'm happy to hear that you like it!
Love, love, love ❤️ Thank you!
You’re welcome Debbie!
Amazing Cori and so easy!!
Hi Cori! Loved this video… you are fun! 😃 Thank you for a great idea! Sheryl 😁
Thank you Sheryl 💕
You did a fabulous job explaining everything! 💜
Thanks so much for doing this again. Made along and sure like the look of this.
I’m happy to hear you were successful Hope!
Followed along with you - no problems! The only thing I wish I knew earlier was to choose BOTH portions of what ends up being the front cover. But now i know for next time! Thanks for all you do for this community!
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
Love the update! Much easier to understand. Thanks!
I’m glad it was more helpful!
This is great. Thank you. Endless possibilities.
Agreed. So many options! Thank you Ruth 😊
I love this project! I must admit the first one I made was a fail, but I have now made 35!!! I'm making them for a women's retreat and have had a blast making them!! Thank you Cori!!
Wow! How kind of you!!! If you need some whale tail tabs for closures, please let me know and I’ll happily send them as a RAK. What a thoughtful retreat gift for speaker notes, etc. How fun to tuck a scripture and message in the front pocket for each recipient 💕
thank you Cori - this will be fun to create - be well xx
Thank you Janet 💕
I really love this one Cori!
Thank you Nancy 💕
❤️ Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Cori! 😀💞
You are so welcome!
Adorable little booklet! Looking forward to making one soon. 💗
Happy creating!
Yay! Grabbed everything this morning and WAS able to follow along...Thanks soo much for slowing it down to my beginner's speed of crafting!!
Woo hoo! So happy to hear it was more clear and do-able. Mission accomplished!
Hello Cori, enjoyed watching you make the notebook. I love your wooden stamping station, real nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I’m thinking I like the 4-hole option. I was thinking it might be too long, but I’m not finding it to be so.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate it.
You’re welcome!
As I said I thought it was a beautiful idea for a book. Great for carrying in our purses. Great job!
Thank you Eliza!
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😊
Thanks for the re-do😊. I did get it the first time, but now it is even more clear. Fun booklet 🦋. Making my first one from solid cardstock 🙃
Thank you Jama 💕
Thanks Cori I too had a lot of “issues” making this the first time. This was a lot clearer
Glad it was helpful!
I love your work, Cori. You always come up with the most creative ways to use paper to make real treasures.
Thank you Anita 💕
Nice!!! I will try this. Thank u.
Happy creating!
These are just perfect little notebooks Cori 😍
Fun to make as well. Maybe fabric/tartan covered could be good 😊
Thanks for showing us how to make some. Your instructions are clear enough for me to understand. 😀👍
Thank you Paulette, and I appreciate you letting me know 😊
I have made two of these booklets now and yes I struggled with the first one but your instructions became very clear by the time I was making my second one, it’s amazing how you think you are really listening but you miss so much even if you watch, stop, watch again. Love this project, thank you Cori.
Thank you Donna and I’m glad you enjoyed making them 💕
Thank you, i love it
Thank you Janita!
Ooooohhhhh . LOVE this idea! I'm subscribed to you w/ notifications, but need to pursue your videos so that you come up in my que (sp?) more regularly! Next on my play list! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and hmmmm. wondering how I can make that one to fit my new one-sheet-wonder size plan 😊
so BEAUTIFUL 😘❤️thank u🤗
My pleasure 💕
Thanks Cori. I will be making one of these. I love your new ink/glue stand. If you make those I would love to be on the list to buy one!
Thank you Rochelle. Send me an email at cdscrappin@aol.com and we can figure out an ink box that suits your needs.
Thanks, Cori.
You’re welcome 😊
Very good idea love it thank you THEOLA
You are so kind to redo this tutorial,Cori. I was able to follow the first video and made several. But my challenge was the same as yours was in getting the pieces I wanted to show on the front! 😆 Luckily the Tim Holtz papers go so well together no matter which sides end up showing on the front!
Thank you Paula and once again, TH with the win!
Love this idea, I am going to have a go for sure, thank you :-)
I’m certain you’ll do something amazing with your version. Happy creating, Gez!
@@CoriDahmen thank you, I made 5 so far, may make more. SO much fun :-)
After watching this made three times now I think I’ve got it 😊. I was struggling on what was showing 🙄. Thanks for showing it again 😉
I’m certain you can do it Nancy! My pleasure 😊
Such great instructions, friend! I think my problem was trying to do the two sections at the same time. It makes it much easier to create the first section completely and then do the second section. I just love this piece! Thank you for taking time to simplify it for all of us! You are the best, my friend! Love you to bits! 😘❤️
I needed a re run to gayle , I got muddled when it was flipped over so many times I forgot where the flaps were to go
Now we both got it right lol , stay safe friend xx sp
I snort-laughed at your hand flutter! I'm sorry I wasn't more clear originally, but am glad you figured through it. I love that little booklet too, because it is (usually!) quick to make and a great size. Fun little thinking-of-you treats for people as well. I love you too and appreciate your continual kind and beautiful heart.
this is a great pocket thing to store ephemera--great, easy directions , i made one for a sample or i will forget
I’m happy to hear you were successful in creating one. I always make a sample as I forget too 😊
I made a couple of these from your first video. They turned out fine. Love this little booklet. Thank you for sharing. Also, I would love to order the wooden ink box. Please let me know how I can get one. ☺️
Thankyou
It was so nice of you to revisit notebook, Cori. Thank you. I Totally understand the entire process now. This is such an awesome design.
Thank you and I’m glad the additional video helped 💕
Loved your "repeat" instructions. Did I miss how many insert pages you used? A lovely gift!
Thank you. I used five sheets of paper for my booklet insert, so 20 sides to write on.
@@CoriDahmen Thank you!
I sure enjoy all of your postings. Learning lots
Do you have a favorite paper cutter that doesn’t leave those ugly fuzzy edges. I’m looking for an new updated one.
Thx
I’ve had a Dahle for years and love it… it’s just a bit big for my work space.
Thank you so much Cori, I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and awesome folio, I never have a problem with your teaching, and it’s the same today. I really really love ❤️ this, and I’m definitely going to share this and have a go myself too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Happy creating Mags. Stay safe, be well and thank you for being such a kind viewer 💕
Thank you for a wonderful video. We’ll done! I like your wooden craft box for ink pad, etc., and could use something like that. Can you tell me where I might find this?
Thank you. Send me an email to cdscrappin@aol.com and we can discuss your ink box needs.
Thank you Beth. Send me an email at cdscrappin@aol.com and we can discuss your ink box 💕
💜💜💜
Thank you soooo much I Love this😀 Are you going to be selling the ink/ glue wooden tray ?it’s amazing
Thank you Wendy and I'm still fiddling with the ink box. I know several folks use larger size glue bottles, so I'm pondering offering different sizes.
Easily followed along both times. Not everyone is confused. Enjoy this folio.
Thank you for that. I wasn’t confused, but I sure confused some others 🤣
Love this idea! I definitely will be re-watching this again to try it. Thank you.
Where did you get your ink pad and glue holder???
Cori makes them! But I do not know if she sells them?
She on occasion sells them… she said this is a new proto type she’s trying… she will usually announce when they are for sale..Keep watching…
Thank you ladies! Yes, I make them and sell them when I can carve out the time to make them. Send me an email to cdscrappin@aol.com and let me know what size you’re looking for!
I watched Gayle and had to laugh because I had to go back and rewatch. I had to make the 2nd fold 2x because I made the notch too big. So I guess I made mine the Ronda way. 🤣🤣
Lol!
Another great inspiration Cori. I have a question, and have had this same issue with other tutorials. My scoreboard is opposite from yours. My 1 inch is on the left and yours is on the right. I have made many scorelines incorrectly. Any good suggestions? ❤️
Could you maybe print off a new label to place on the top? Not sure that would actually help, but it might be worth a shot.
Cori, I love this project and I love the paper you used! Can you tell me what paper pad you used? Thank you so much.
Thank you and all the papers are from Tim Holtz... I believe it is the Memoranda pack.
😊😊😊
Hi, thank you for doing this vid. Please could I ask who makes the paper that you've used here? Thanks 😊
Hi Michelle! I used Tim Holtz paper in this video and I believe they’re from the Memoranda pack.
@@CoriDahmen Thank you! They look great 😍
Where did you get the wooden organizer? Ink, dobber, glue
I make them in various sizes. Send me an email to cdscrappin@aol.com if you’re interested.
I used the DCWV paper, even tho it’s double sided it cracks and breaks so just letting you know.
Bummer. Have you tried getting the paper damp before you score it? I’ve had some luck with that.
@@CoriDahmen no I haven’t but I will try that!
😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Still confusing since I think your was confused at times too. But it is cute.
Lol! I’ve made a dozen or so. I’m just seeking the best, clearest way to share with others 😊
Hi Cori,
What sewing machine is that? IS that a portable one? Tks
My machine is a Pfaff. I’ve had it for several years and it was my moms before it was mine, so it’s older, but I love it.
@@CoriDahmen thank you.
@@eclecticpapercraftart the model is Passport 2.0, if that makes a difference 😊
Love this but too hard to follow as we use the metric system. 😁
Hmmmm. I have a metric ruler... I'll see if I can make comparisons and put them in the description box.
Is that ur own special paper🤔if not could you share the source 😉😘thank u❤️
Hi. It’s Tim Holtz paper, I think from the Memoranda pack.
@@CoriDahmen ❤️❤️❤️
