Hi Mamay You are wonderful. I just sat thru 11 videos and decided to go for it. I actually made 20 signature pages.. btw the slot binding us incredible...love it. MTD
I love this binding, I used it for my Halloween Mini's. All the Mom's in the family absolutely loved them and they are still being talked about. One of the easiest bindings I have seen. TFS, can't wait to see part 2...Blessings...Bobbie
Wow! Thank you for doing this tutorial series! I've tried to do the stack the deck system twice and both times were spectacular messes. This system is way easier, for me anyway. Your instruction is so clear and precise, so there's never any doubt what the result should be and how to get there. I'm definitely a follower for as long as you choose to share your creativity. BTW: I hope this doesn't embarrass you......you have such pretty hands! I watch UA-cam (probably more than I should LOL) and of course see many types of hands during demonstrations, so it's hard not to make note of those amazing tools God gave to us and I think yours are very photogenic!
I love this system and its so easy if you take your time. It's like you say "I aint going to stress over it" worse case my Grand Daughter has a book to color in. Love you my sister in Christ.
I enjoyed the whole process,Maymay.Thank you for all the tips and tricks.I agree that it turned out great.I love all your videos and your Bible art journaling too. Y
I was all around looking for part 2 before I realized how "hot off the press" this was! Yea! I'm in at the beginning! I've made a lot of different minis, but never have seen this binding. I'm enthralled, and can't wait to see the rest of the week's programs unfold. Did I say, I can't wait? I'm already checking this morning to see if you've got the next one up! Thanks!
Envelopes? Really? Who'da thunk it? How wonderful is this........ Watched all the way through, now time to dive in.......... it's gonna be so cute! Thanks Maymay!!!!!!!!
I watched this series over the weekend and made my first mini album while walking through each part so I could follow along. It was so fun!! I think you should start a place/page called "Hey, Maymay, I made it!" so we can share with you what your tutorials have taught other crafters. :) Thanks for sharing your skills.
Have never used this binding system before and I love it.......it is easy and with the duct tape it is so sturdy. Instead of using a pencil and ruler to mark the lines to cut after putting the duck tape on the back of the paper strip I used my score board to make the lines. Didn't have to worry about cutting the paper because the duck tape supported it, Made it really simple and insured straight lines, Can't wait until tomorrow.
It seems like the original video I found of this binding she scored it. It is really hard to understand the system on camera if I don't do pencil lines. I am so glad your enjoying it!
Well that was just a wealth of new goodies! I have not seen that binding system and it looks very neat and definitely reinforced! Lol! I have had issues in the past with the hidden hinge binding with pages not all being straight. I think this system would clear that up. I am anxious to try it. Also I have ordered that glue and the tip also. Thanks for all the great info!
OMG...I stumbled upon your video yesterday and was so happy I did. I'm excited to give this a try this myself. I sat an watched all 11 parts last night. I just loved the way yours turned out. Thanks for sharing!
Yeaaaa.. my favorite binding!! I am so glad you are doing another LONG video...( well multiples, but long ) I love it!!! I was starving for MayMay videos! LOL
I like the idea of this binding and you do such a great job of explaining it. The tip on your pin for your adhesive is great and be sure to use a stainless steel pin as the other pins rust and ruin your glue. I like the idea of making it stronger as you want it to be sturdy. I probably would use the Kraft tex Kraft Paper Fabric with the Beacon Fabri-Fix adhesive instead of the duct tape as over time the duct tape dries up and turns to a messy powder (I've had it do that on boxes.) I'll have to get some of these envelopes to try this envelope album. Look forward to your Part Two. Great job.
I have a new favorite binding!!! I was thinking of redoing a couple of albums because I didn't like the bindings. I just redid both of them with your slot system. very superior!! Thank you! MEB
Omg :) I love ur system. You have made a happy new binder maker. I found other bindings so difficult. Thank you for sharing your binding system with us!
I've watched all 11 twice, plus some. making an album now, using some of your ideas, although not the slot binding because I like Tyvek. I use Duck tape for the binding on the outside, however. Paper seems to eventually tear or fray. Hope you understand what I mean?. Love your work. And your generosity. I am a Patreon. Nik
I have tried this binding before, but it didn't work so well, because the flaps that you insert into the slots overlapped and it didn't lay as good. The way you did it, I think works so good. I will try it again, your way.:D thank you for the great tutorial!!!
Hiya!! I have just recently found ur site... love it! U explain everything carefully and precisely, making it easy to follow ur instructions.Thank u so very much for sharing and teaching so willingly.Blessings Juann.
Just found this site and it's just wonderful. Everything is really explained to make the process easier. I am a 'why' person so need to know these thing!!! Thank you SO much for teaching us all your skills. Best wishes Kate (UK)
Hello all the way from Holland. I am absolutely obcessed with your craft video's. You are such a good teacher and so easy to follow. Thank you so much for all your amazing video's. So many beautiful things. I have always wanted to make a mini album but some parts of other video's that I have watched I did'nt understand. Yours is so easy to follow. The only question I have is: the book you get your inspiration from. What is the name of it and who is it from. Hope you don't mind me asking😄
I am making one right along w/ you. I have to say yours looks a whole lot better than mine. But for the first time making it. I believe it looks good if I have to say so myself lol
I have wanted to make an album for a while now. This is the perfect plan for it. Am having difficulty finding videos after #8. What should I be looking for in UA-cam? Or is there another way to find them in a bunch. I plan to do this with my great grand daughter this summer when she comes for a visit. She has visited every summer since she was 7, she is now 17 and we do something different every year. I just love what you have done, the album is beautiful.
Hello MaymayMadeIt I don't know if this is what you were talking about in the video when you mentioned packing but another adhesive you could use if you don't have duct tape is packing or shipping tape
i use one of the larger nail dotting tool as a score tool that works just as good and it will never rip the paper. what else glue that i can find in a store not online would you recommend?
Beautiful binding system thank you so much for sharing just a thought for four pages if two are inserted right to left and other two left to right I feel the binding would be more balanced. Just my thoughts apologies if I have offended you.
Hi have been watching your video and i like the idea that you shared with everyone your items that you like and that you use can you share with me where you bought your score tool? thanks jp
Well I watched this series in its entirety and I loved the finished album!! However, I was so excited to make one in kraft and I guess maybe the envelopes are to heavy!! It's such an easy peasy binding system but I'm second guessing myself!! 😤😢. I'm an experienced paper crafter but I'm gonna stick it out to the end and see what happens!! After all it's just paper ain't it?! Lol. Love all your tutorials and creativity!!!
Hi love this binding. I was wondering if there was a way to do this binding on single sheets of craft paper? I'm ocd and my envelopes would not line up exactly as it seems some or a little taller than other.
I have all my stuff not, and getting ready to make. I will send a Photo when I am done in a few months LOL. just want to take my time, Chemo wears me out.
Hi Maymay! I was following Faithful Designs by Christy and she makes the pages with the cards, then the pockets and such with the envelopes. This is the first time I see this binding. Wouldn't it make it even if you put 2 signatures from the left and the 2 others ones from the right? Or it doesn't matter in this case? Just checking because it doesn't look symmetrical.
Maymay, I love your videos. BUT, I bought 6 x 9" recollections envelopes with side opening (no clasp) and NO presticky tape on the flap to make an envelop album and I am absolutely mathematically impaired and so I just can NOT figure out how to change your measurements to fit these envelopes. I'm trying to make a wedding album for my sweet son and daughter in law to be. Can you PLEASE help me!?!?!?! You are a great teacher. SO, it is NOT you it is completely ME having a problem. Thank you, Crayola :/
It is Art Glitter Glue, we carry it in our store and you can purchase it if you all in to purchase. It can't be shipped in the winter to certain states. Our number is on our website, www.maymaymadeit.com
How am I getting the fine tip on my bottle? I bought the 8 ounce and the tip but don't get how they go together? I also have a 2 ounce bottle with a cap that looks similar to what you have here??
in your link you should also let people know if they order the 8oz bottle that they will need to purchase a replacement lid if you purchase the fine metal tip urrrrrrrrrrrrr
+trish k hi Trish, this is a very old video where I had just started using Art Glitter Glue and actually, when I made this video you couldn't purchase just a replacement tip. The video that I have posted on my product page in my store explains all the products in detail including the tips. When you go the the product in my store the video pops up and I have in large print "please watch the video before purchasing". I do my best to always explain my products to my customers. Did you order from me? If so you probably got enough loyalty points to be able to go back and pick up the replacement top for your bottle and only be out of pocket a little bit over the cost and shipping. Thanks!

Very cool to use the duct tape Amy! That really made it more sturdy. Looking forward to your next video Amy!
I think it will make it last a long time. I will probably use it again too. We will see!!! Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed the whole process,Maymay.Thank you for all the tips and tricks.I agree that it turned out great.I love all your videos and your Bible art journaling too.

I see other mini album videos and they never fully explain how they do any of it. Thank you for taking the time to do that.
Very nicely explained at a good pace

Thanks! I try to take my time with this one so it is easy to follow. It has just become my favorite system.

I love this binding system......I use the same idea for waterfalls in my albums too....1/2 " apart.....love having the flaps hidden.....

This system also works for waterfalls, love it.

***** Thank you Maymay xx
I like this binding system. I am going to try it soon. I am looking forward to the rest of the videos. Thank you for the great instructions.

Kate Godding Cool, glad I could help!
I just used this binding system for the first time actually today and I love it. Thank you very much for sharing it. This way is so much easier for me
Another fun project to get started on, thanks for the great explanations and techniques/tips.
Great video, I'm glad we only got this far because my book is supposed to come tomorrow. lol Hugs and blessings.
Never fear, we are several steps away from utilizing the book just yet! Glad your playing along!!
Again,you are such a good teacher!!
Oops just looked at the date - this is a wip (work in progress) looking forward to more. It is beautiful even so far, can't wait to see the rest.

I am making one right along w/ you. I have to say yours looks a whole lot better than mine. But for the first time making it. I believe it looks good if I have to say so myself lol
I have never done this binding system you make it very easy I am going to try and follow you along tfs
Hugs
Grandmasandy100 It is not as bad as it seems to get done. Once you wrap your head around it, it goes pretty easy. Thanks for watching!
I can't wait to try this, Maymay!
I have never seen the slot binding before. Interesting!!
I love it, wait till you see how it totally disappears into the book. Thanks for watching.
I have wanted to make an album for a while now. This is the perfect plan for it. Am having difficulty finding videos after #8. What should I be looking for in UA-cam? Or is there another way to find them in a bunch.
I plan to do this with my great grand daughter this summer when she comes for a visit. She has visited every summer since she was 7, she is now 17 and we do something different every year.
I just love what you have done, the album is beautiful.
Hello MaymayMadeIt
I don't know if this is what you were talking about in the video when you mentioned packing but another adhesive you could use if you don't have duct tape is packing or shipping tape
Amy, if you don't pull your duct tape so tight it will lay flatter when you lay it down and you won't get wrinkles in it. Hope this helps.
oheck Thanks for the tip.
Used the system before. Didn't hold well but I think with your added reinforcement, I'm going to try again!
Doris Schjelderup I hope this will make it better!
Great binding I can't wait to try it!
like you said awesome! actualy takes less time and much neater and cleaner!
SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
Love this idea, but what scoring measurements would I use on way a 5.25 in. by 7.25in?
i use one of the larger nail dotting tool as a score tool that works just as good and it will never rip the paper. what else glue that i can find in a store not online would you recommend?
Beautiful binding system thank you so much for sharing just a thought for four pages if two are inserted right to left and other two left to right I feel the binding would be more balanced. Just my thoughts apologies if I have offended you.
You can certainly do that. With the duct tape it is so flat that you really don't notice it. Let me know if you try it out.
Hi have been watching your video and i like the idea that you shared with everyone your items that you like and that you use can you share with me where you bought your score tool? thanks jp
+Janell Perez I purchased my scoreboard on Amazon and my score tool at Hobby Lobby. Thanks!
I love when you so these kinds of videos :)

Hi love this binding. I was wondering if there was a way to do this binding on single sheets of craft paper?
I'm ocd and my envelopes would not line up exactly as it seems some or a little taller than other.
Just wondered would this system work with envelopes with a pointed closure? most of my envelopes in UK have the triangular closure.
I have all my stuff not, and getting ready to make. I will send a Photo when I am done in a few months LOL. just want to take my time, Chemo wears me out.
Hi Maymay! I was following Faithful Designs by Christy and she makes the pages with the cards, then the pockets and such with the envelopes. This is the first time I see this binding. Wouldn't it make it even if you put 2 signatures from the left and the 2 others ones from the right? Or it doesn't matter in this case? Just checking because it doesn't look symmetrical.
Hi - how wide is the double sided tape attaching the flap to the envelope? The link goes to 8mm, but that seems narrow.
u need to watch Kathy Ortega of Follow the Paper Trail on how she does her hinged binding. It is awesome.
Very cool idea. 🙋♀️🦒
I'm excited for this series! Are you not working Jane from Tupelo Designs anymore?
Not at this time. I am glad you are liking the series already!
Love this just order me a crop a dile
I love this idea I want to do it
vanessa Ramirez I would love to see it if you make it!
Vanessa Ramirez 😍
awesome !
Great 👍

It is Art Glitter Glue, we carry it in our store and you can purchase it if you all in to purchase. It can't be shipped in the winter to certain states. Our number is on our website, www.maymaymadeit.com
You didn't put a link to the lady that came up with the slot binding method, what is her name
I have searched for her channel and can't find it anymore, she was Angelwings14100.
How do you manage with going from cm to in
I don't, I only use inches. SOrry!
+Maymay Made It Crafts I'm trying to get my head around this
