- What about the Stacked Hinge? I love both binding systems used by Laura Denison and Kathy Orta, however, I wasn't totally happy with either so I played around and came up with something that I think will work best for me. I'm not taking away anything from either Laura or Kathy as I think they've adapted their individual binding systems the way they work for them - and many others. I just found that I wasn't getting the strength out of the Stack the Deck, nor was I completely happy with the "wings" on the Hidden Hinge binding system. That's why I combined the best of both binding systems to come up with a system that worked for me. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for watching.

I used junk paper to see if my 1st hinge would work. I watched the hidden/stacked hinges made. But here is the beauty of it all. I was actually making my hinge/stacked your way. I didn't know until I just watch this video. So thanks for sharing.
Chancey464 Yep, seems to me it's been a tried and true method of binding for decades. We need to just play around with it, like you did, to make it work for ourselves 😄
I agree with all the people who saids that your hinge system is the best, thank you for bringing your knowledge to others.
Great idea. The best hinge I've ever tried. Thank you.
After watching loads of hinge tutorials I decided that yours looked by far the neatest. The only bit of your tutorial I got lost on was where the tape went! I did it wrong the first time but recovered it nicely and have a beautiful stacked hinge for my very first mini album! Thank you ozegran for a beautiful tidy and strong hinge system! x
Thanks Jayne, glad it helped :)
Finally someone I can understand and follow. Thank you
OMG!! this is the easiest and sturdiest hinge to make. Thank you for taking the time to design it and show us how to do it.
Thanks Veronica 😀 Hope it works for you!
jen, as a novice scrapbooker, bindings give me SO much trouble as you know. So I am going to make it a habit to try this method..... I really need help as you know! Thank you so much .. I will be referring to it every few days. Thank you again Love you, Annete
I love your method best. I'm a novice and I'll be using your method for my first creation! Thank you!
Jen, thanks I really like it. It will also stop the stress I get on the flaps sometimes too. Really clear tutorial too.x
Fantastic! I agree...you took the best of both and made a fantastic hinge. The very things that concerned me in the other two were the same reasons I adjusted mine, but never as good as this. THANKS for sharing.
I love Kathy AND Laura...but now I love you too. :) I'm going to try your version and I know just from watching this that it will already be a little sturdier than some that I have made in the past. Great modification. Thanks!
I think your idea is brilliant!! I do use both of the binding systems, but can't wait to try out your idea. Thanks so much for sharing.
wow out of all videos I have watched on hidden binding this is by far the best will be using this in future. TFS
I love this system of binding...I have been usuing the stacked deck...but this is superior for strength..thank you so much for making my future albums stronger....very wise thinking on your part...
I tried it I am not sure if I am following your directions properly though but if it works for you that's amazing you came up with this. I like hearing pros and cons from some things, that's why i love youtube so much. sometimes some things just don't work for some people, but i do agree, paper trail and phenomenon are amazing, brilliant artists!
me to,i make almost all mini's now,and only a few 12x12 scrappages.
i like mini's voor holliday's,birthday's,and all other occasions where i make at least 10 pictures from.
a mini is great for that.
I am thinking yours is my favorite...thank you...v
I like this and I really like the fact that you gave Laura and Kathy credit for their work. Thanks so much.
Deb Browers Thanks Deb :) If it wasn't for these two ladies we would not have so many mini albums now LOL
I love your system, kudos to you for naming the original inventors
this is a great idea - and will work for me, where I had a lot of trouble with Kathy's hinge - thanks - Jas
I love those two ladies cos they have brilliant ideas and you have taken their "inventions" one step forward. It is always nice to have variatons i guess. Tfs ♥
not giving anyone else a bad idea on the differant hinges, but I must say I love the super strenghth you came up with. I also hated the flaps, but this is perfect for me as well....thank you for sharing!!!!!....Stacked deck on a hidden hinge system...sounds about right!!!!
lilsassysis Thanks so much :)
Makes perfect sense - and so strong! Love this combo, the best of both worlds. Thank you so much.
Susie Jefferson Thanks Susie 😄
Have fun with it!
Hi
I used just normal double-sided tape to make this one for TH-cam but I would use Scor-tape or the redline or Wonder tape - something really strong, for this project. Thanks for commenting & sorry it's taken me so long to respond
Smiles
Jen
love what you have done. I am a newbie at scrapbooking and tried other binding failed horribly. I will most definitely try your method.
Thanks Lorie, hope it works for you :)
New to making albums and after watching this I no longer have my flaps in a flap. Thank you.
It looks really good. I have several covers ready for pages and didn't know how to attach them till now. Thank you so much for this tutorial. It has helped me tremendously
Hello. What a great idea. I really needed to address strength for my albums as I have noticed several of my older albums have really broken down. This time I am out for strength and endurance.
Wow i love it ... looks neat and strong. Now i will have to go and make one... Hope i will be able to do one with 12 hinge for a monthly diary..... thanks so much you showed and explained this well. Vicky G
this binding system seems to be a combination of the two and I like it.
Yeah when I make minis (not so much anymore) the combined version is what I use
You are right, how someone tells/shows the process really makes a difference. I know in my case, I sometimes just don't get it from one person showing, but from a different person/perspective I end up 'getting' it. Pros and cons here on TH-cam are so helpful! Again though, depends on that person's perspective - that's where TH-cam is great - more than the one person giving us the pros & cons. Yes, those two ladies have given us so much inspiration for sure! Thanks for commenting :)
Smiles
Jen
Yes... I have been watching your videos...thank you so much for sharing, I can use all the help I can get!
Yay Jen!!! ,.. just found your hinge system this morning :-) ... will be using this method from now on .. thank you xxxx Sarah
Hi :)
Thanks so much for commenting :) It does look much cleaner than having the flap. Will work great for small minis.
Smiles
Jen
Thank you! This is my favorite I'm late to the crafting party but I am sure glad that I ran across your video!!!
Thank you, Jen for acknowledging me, and them.
Brilliant! You took the best features of both and came up with an even better hinge.
Thank you so much for sharing :)
(Hmmmm, this has been out since 2012 and I just came upon it...!!)
Linda Donald LOL thanks Linda :)
Today is 9-8-2019 and this is the first time I see this video. I have had issues with those bindings for 2 years now. So glad I found this video. I live this idea. Tfs.
Brilliant!! This will b my new binding system from now on!! Thank you so much.
Thanks :) and you're very welcome :)
Was putting off doing a journal, but I think this is a breeze to do. thanks for the inspiration. Will be making a start now.
Haven't seen either of the other hinges but this one looks like a video I will be using to make mini's with!!!
Oh glad to hear it. The best advice I can give you is to go with what makes it easier for you. There is no better feeling as when you attempt something and it actually works for you :)
Have fun!
Smiles
Jen
LOL As you know, Annette I have SO much trouble with ALL my projects - I stumble through them in the end though hehehe. Thanks for commenting :)
Smiles
Jen
I think I love your way much better and it IS stronger!! Thank you for sharing!!
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your comment - only just saw it. Thank you so much for commenting.
Smiles
Jen
Hi Chris, thanks for commenting. Yes I agree with you that these ladies did NOT invent the binding techniques however they did adapt it and make it popular for the mini album binding style we use and love today.
Brilliant! No flaps, YES!
Lol I agree! Ban the flaps!
Well Jean, I don't know why I do have the issues I do with the flaps - I either rush it through and not score it properly or something. But I'm so glad it works for you. I didn't put this up to "convert" people, just to see if anyone else was having the issues I was, and that I "may" have come up with a solution for me. You should stick to what works for you, Jean, your projects ROCK! :)
Smiles
Jen
Oh I'm glad you got it! I'm sorry I didn't realise where you were confused. And no, your comments did not come off too critical at all! I welcome ALL feedback and I see it as constructive. So thanks so much for your comments :)
Smiles
Jen
Hi Liza
The only thing I like about Stack the Deck is that it sits nice and neatly on the spine. That's why I took Kathy Orta's hidden hinge binding system and converted it to sit neatly on the spine. I just don't like the bulkiness of the side flaps sitting on the covers. I always stuffed that part up and it never looked neat.
I really like what you've done and I'll be trying this method this weekend. Thank you so much for figuring it out and showing us this method. I too don't care for that extra bulk along the spines.
thank you I really appreciate that.... Sheila
Thanks Julia! Both systems had their strengths, and both had their weaknesses.
Smiles
Jen
Yes, using paper bags will take up much more space within the gussets. This method also allows for wider gussets as needed. Thanks so much for your comments :)
@dandelionsg I can see that the binding may eventually come off, or not, but I think it the binding sits much better on the spine and there are no lumps or bumps from the flaps. Kathy has suggested to lengthen the flaps to the width of the covers. That's a possible solution.
True, you could do that, but there might be a bit too much bulk then? Six layers? Good point though, thanks for commenting :)
Thank you so much for commenting :) Hope to hear how you went with this too.
Smiles
Jen
Just finish binding my first toilet paper album and found I didn't like the bulk either. Great finding your Wingless Hinge Binding system. Will be trying within the next several days.
Thanks
Pennie
stacked hidden hinge- and this was wonderful!!
Hi Brenda, thanks for commenting and please let me know how you get on with it.
Smiles
Jen
Thanks Patricia, I tried so hard to get the flaps to work, to no avail though. I'm happy with how I do mine now. Thanks so much for commenting :)
I am thinking this might be my favourite one
I am definately going to try this. I liked Laura's because it was quick but you had to do even number of pages. I think with Kathy's you can have an odd number,such as 5 as opposed to 6. Now I can combine the 2 to get what I want. Thanks for sharing your idea.
Fantastic... this is the one I will be using along with the tyvek , this will be nice and strong!
TFS
I hope we get to see a book with your design flaps. I like yours!!!
Susan Hill Hi Susan, I think you will see it in full detail in my How to Create a Mini Album series. Thanks :)
Great video and instructions. I really like your technique and have used it on several albums. Thanks for showing The Ozegran Method!! Love Love Love it!
Thanks :) Glad you like it!
Great idea to strengthened it. Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs, Mary
Oh I can't wait to hear how you go with it. Thanks for commenting :)
Smiles
Jen
Don't forget to use heavy duty double sided tape like Scor-tape or the redline/Wonder tape. It needs to hold a lot.
Thanks for commenting and can't wait to see what you think once you make your mini with this binding system
Smiles
Jen
Thanks for the video! I combined the two as well - in a very similar manner. Two great designers and when combining the two wonderful systems they each have developed, the results are wonderful.T
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. Gloria 🐂
You are so welcome!
Tried ur method yesterday. It feels very strong! Got as far as loading my covered pages onto the binding (using paper bags, not envelopes) but I'm thinking I may need to increase the gusset depth in the future bc the pages are already somewhat close without any embellishments. But thx for sharing ur method! So far so good!
Jen, thank you for sharing.. I agree with you on the bindings, mine doesn't come out the greatest either..
Well Debbie, that's the beauty of our crafting community - we are all different and we learn easier from some more than others. That's just the way it goes. Thanks so much for commenting :)
I like yours the best. Kathy's hinge system works great too but I also had the raised area in my books.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I like how you combined the two, You are genious!
I learned this years ago and make my folds just as you do! Quarter, half, half (inch). Repeat.
We did all the folding, first, then, ran a bead of glue along the quarter inch parts. Then, pressed all the 'leaves' together. We made one long one, then, cut it into 2 to 4 sections for different pages/images. Our 'flaps' width was purely accidental. LOL
I think I learned it at teen night at my church. I'm 64. LOL
Hi Sandra
So sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your comment. Glad this binding method has worked for you too!
Smiles
Jen
Just what I was looking for. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hope it works for you Pat :)
Thanks for coming up with this fab and very neat system, Jen. I shall look forward to trying it out next time I make a mini. Maria x
I love the hidden hinge when making a album,but I have always cut the flaps off just for the same reason. But I love your idea. On my next album I will try your way and see how I like it. Thank you very much for sharing.
Kim Wise Thanks so much Kim 😄
Those flaps were what drove me to adapt this style of hinge. I didn't know why anyone else wasn't complaining about it. I quickly found out that I wasn't alone in thinking this, so thank you for your support and I hope it works for you. Happy New Year!
BRILLIANT, really.
many tanks for your idea!! love your work
Very well done. I will try it! Thanks
Hi Pauline
So glad you like it and it has worked for you :)
Smiles
Jen
This hinge just sits on your spine AFTER you have put your covers & spine together but if you like I'll put something together for you.
Thanks for commenting
Smiles
Jen
Thank you so much, for your reply, I have not made an album yet , but I will post as soon as I make one.
Love your videos you are awesome!
Excelent idea and I love the name. I was tryibnng to figure out the same idea a while back, THANK YOU!!
This is a great adaptation of the methods of those two very talented ladies! You are obviously very talented yourself to have combined the two ideas into an improved system. How about the name "Hidden Stacked Hinge"??? That marries both methods into one name. Thanks so much for sharing your genius! Can't wait to try it!
Great mind! I also do not like the flaps..another wonderful tutorial!❤️
Thank you so much Jeannine :)
Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Marg Paolini 😄
Thank you so much for commenting :) I have just recently uploaded a step by step tutorial on the binding, covers and spine embellishing of mini albums. I did slow it down a bit too. Have fun with making minis! I do!
Smiles
Jen
Jen great idea love this the extra flap wasnt doing it for me either love the combo idea will def give this a try. awesome as always ty
OMG OMG!!!! Thank you Jen. Having the best of both all wrapped up so neat and pretty. I will ONLY use your method from now on. Oooohhh H-E-A-V-E-N !!!! Again Thank you from the bottom of my southern Texas heart...this is going to revolutionize the way us gals do albums from now on. You should be so very proud.So girlfriend stand up and take a bow, if I was there I'd give you a big ol' Texas hug...
Thank you hun : )
"Happy Crafting"
I've been searching for an album style that I can use to store my various laces and ribbons in... and thought of the "hinge" style... but I wasn't sure whose would work best for me. As you noted, one wasn't going to be strong enough; the other had those side flaps.
Your style should work very well for me, I think. The hinge pages give me the room that's needed for the bulk that will exist and the strength will let me use it for a long time. Thank you so much.
Hi Ebba, I am happy with this alternative to binding so I hope you’re happy with it after you try it. Let me know how you go. And thanks so much 🤗
Oh I really hope it works for you. Please let me know how you go with it - and thanks for your comments :)
Smiles
Jen
I like the idea and will try it on a baby photo album, Thank-you
Daryl Glad you like it and have fun with the baby album :)
I finally get it! Lol! I just watched the video by papercrafter45 using your stacked hinge system. The inside paper goes across the whole cover, which holds the cover on securely. When I use the hidden hinge, I always attach the hinge to bare chipboard and have two inner cover pieces, that's why I couldn't understand what was holding the inside of the book together. This system looks very nice and neat - and I'm sure it's plenty strong enough. Very nice.
Thanks for commenting :) Let me know how you go with it and what you think of the binding system when finished :)
Smiles
Jen
Oh I'm glad you like it, please let me know how you went with it.
Smiles
Jen
I like it so much, I'm just learning, and trying to follow the instructions. I have a bit of a vision problem, so when you fast forwarded I got lost LOL. I'm sure if I watch it a few times I will be able to apply your instruction. Thanks so much for sharing!
Brilliant! I can't wait to try this out. Thank You!
Hugs, Brenda from San Diego
