Janie, I really love, love your Flip & Fold Mini Album. The paper is over the top gorgeous, it's soft and luscious looking. I was able to complete a sample of the mini album for future reference. This is my first mini album. Thanks so much for sharing your God given talent with us. God bless!
Doris thank you so much for your sweet comment....it made my day! You can find that gorgeous printable paper pack at VectoriaDesigns. I'm so happy you were able to complete a sample mini album and I hope you enjoy making many more. You are so sweet :) Hugs....Janie

Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!! I have more flip book and mini album videos and you can find them all together in my Playlists. Thank you so much for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
Very sweet .. Love the paper line .. I made a few a couple years back. Two were gifts and I turned them into recipe albums. Another one was a gift I turned into a camping album with lots of places to place memorabilia. I made lots of envelopes .. different sizes and shapes. Fun flip books. Enjoyed the video and measurements. Definitely going to make a few more. Thank you!!
Oh dang....and I thought I came up with this design....LOL oh well I am happy you have been making them. Yes they do make great little albums with so many possibilities. Usually when I'm doing a tutorial on things (cards, mini albums, etc) I try to keep it pretty basic and leave all the extras to you. I can imagine how beautiful yours are with all the envelopes and such. Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet comment....and have fun making more :) Hugs...Janie
@@janiethecraftprincess I saw a video inline and I'm pretty sure it was with green paper because it was going to be for Christmas .. could have yours .. Thot you said you had made a video with a different one .. Love them .. so cute
@@shopgirl8140 I made this video about 18 months ago and is the only video I made sharing this size for this style, but I did make a video for a smaller square one.

@@janiethecraftprincess you are very detailed and I'm looking forward to more of your videos. We travel quite a bit and I don't get to craft as much add I would like to. Hugs .. Cindi
@@shopgirl8140 Thank you so much Cindi for your sweet comment. I do my best to be detailed and easy to follow. How wonderful to be able to travel.....is it for pleasure or business? My husband is a long haul over the road truck driver and I go with him once in a while. I love being with him and seeing the country but I get restless after a while as we are usually gone a couple weeks.....without me he is gone for 3 weeks usually but tries to keep the trips shorter with me. I would love to travel for pleasure though. I hope you find more of my videos that interest you. If you are looking for certain things try looking in my Playlists where I keep them categorized :) Hugs...Janie
Oh that makes me sooooo happy....THANK YOU!!!! My goal is to inspire my viewers and make things as easy as I can. It's so good to hear that I have accomplished that for you. Enjoy making one.....or two or three :) Hugs & Blessings.....Janie
Hi there Janie. I missed viewing this tutorial and so pleased I found it today when I had time to myself to just watch my fave tutorials. smile My friend just ordered papers for an album she is creating from Vectoria Designs. They have exceptional buys on digital papers and some of them are extremely beautiful. Thank you as always for sharing your talent with us. Blessings
Hi Carol!!! My sweet friend it has been so long since I have heard from you! I hope all is well. Thank you so much for watching my video....I'm so happy you like it! VectoriaDesigns has so many beautiful papers and kits and when they have a sale you can save so much and get great deals. I just love their stuff. You sweet comment means so much to me....I can't thank you enough :) Hugs...Janie (P.S. I play Yahtzee on my phone with someone I don't know and her picture looks exactly like you but her name on there is mjl911...so it makes me think of you every day)
Good day Janie. Yes, it has been too long since we have connected for sure. I don't have enough time it seems to view tutorials and create. hahahaha I saw your tutorial and made sure I viewed it. I must say it was magnificent and the instructions were perfectly explained and created. I do like Vectorian Designs and some of there designs are gorgeous. I just purchased a printer for my craft room as I didn't want to use our office printer because of using up all the ink for craft purposes. It would be like me to have to print of a document for our business and it says, " crafter used all the ink"!" hahahahaha I have a few prints I will print when I use up all the papers I have here waiting on me to create with. lol I was so please to see your Channel growing and I can see why. Your tutorials are wonderful and I hope to view more of them. I am glad you think of me due to a pic you have seen. hahahahaha I would love to use your project pages in a journal I am doing soon. Would you mind? I will give you full credit and post your Channel for reference. I think it is a lovely idea and the Roses were a perfect fit. I have to finish a Wedding Album I am working on and then I will begin a new project with beautiful papers that were sent to me to create with. It is difficult these days to do all the things I have intended to do but just one thing or another keeps me away from the craft room. Thank you for your continual friendship. We should do a collaboration one day. smiles Take care of yourself. Always a pleasure speaking with you. Hugs
@@CarolHeld Thank you so much for your sweet words.....you warm my heart. Even though it has been awhile I know we both think of each other. I too struggle with finding time to watch videos as often as I would like.....especially longer videos.....so sometimes I start watching them and pause them to come back to later. But I love your videos......you are so creative and I love watching you work and I love your fun animations....hee hee hee. And yes I think some day we will have to do a collaboration.....it would be fun. LOL the printer issue I'm quite familiar with. We started off with a basic top loading color printer that sits on my desk for crafts and finally got the business it's own printer that sits in my husband's office (much more advanced features), and then I discovered that I needed a scanner so we got me ANOTHER printer with a scanner. THEN we decided to get a laser printer...LOL...so now we have FOUR printers in the house!!! How did we ever survive without printers....ha ha ha ha! So for your question about "using" my project pages in a journal you will be doing.....OF COURSE YOU CAN! I am honored that you asked. Be sure to let me know when your video is up so I can watch it. I have a Playlist with all of my mini albums in it if you need any other ideas or inspiration. I will be doing more in the new year. I love mini albums and am starting to give journals a try. I do a variety of crafts so I don't get bored doing just one thing. Well let's keep in touch......we can try to not let so much time go by......I'm thankful to be friends with you :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you. I have other videos on mini albums and flip n fold albums. You can find them all in a playlist in my Playlists if you are interested. Thank you for stopping by :) Hugs...Janie
Rebekah Wyatt Thank you so much for watching and for your very nice comment. I’m glad you like this and I hope you find other videos of mine that you like.

Oh thank you so much!!! Your comment makes me happy! I'm so glad the instructions were easy to follow and I know yours will be beautiful :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you so much!!! It is a great idea for that and I think you will have fun making them. Watch June 2nd.....I'm doing a smaller version. Actually the smaller version was my first attempt and then decided to do this one. I just keep coming up with measurements for different sizes (square and rectangle). I love doing this stuff and I think you will too. I would love to see what you do and you can enter them (or other creations) in Crafter's Castle monthly challenge :) Hugs...Janie crafterscastle.blogspot.com

Thank you Tinne!!! I am so sorry that through the entire video I said Shabby Roses and didn't realize until I went to get the link that it is Shabby Flowers....LOL....please forgive me. But I did correct it in the desription box with the link. I truly LOVE that paper pack and was so happy to work with it. I did however discover that I need to print it all from the same printer......I ran out of ink with one printer and had to use my other printer and there was a color difference....but I worked around it. Lesson learned. Thank you so much for having such wonderful papers to work with :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you so much!!! My father is Italian! I am 50% Italian, 25% French, and 25% English. I hope to make it to Europe some day to see where my ancestors are from :) Hugs...Janie (from Montana, United States)
Thanks so much 😊 That makes me so happy. I have others if you are interested......I have playlist with all of my mini album tutorials in it so they can found easily. Enjoy :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you so much for watching!!! I can imagine you will be watching a lot of videos and learning from many crafters with various styles.

Thank you Janie for the information . . yes I've view many.....three crafters I find inspiring and their tutorials are precise . . yes you are one of them. Happy I came across your channel Janie . . .looking for more of your projects.
Thanks Sue....I thought you would. The smaller one was actually my FIRST try.....that's when I decided it needed more room....deeper sides.....but the smaller one is cute to and great for smaller pictures but not much embellishment :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you so much!!! It really is simple to make and so many possibilities in decorating. I really didn't decorate it because I like to do that when adding the pictures....besides that paper is so pretty all by itself. If you make one I would love to see it...and you could always enter it in Crafter's Castle monthly challenge :) Hugs...Janie
Oh thank you so much Jeanie!!! I enjoyed making this....coming up with the measurements was a little challenge and I might have to figure measurements for one a little fatter....lots of experimenting....hee hee hee. I have done a smaller version for my dt project June 2 :) Hugs...Janie
Hi Wendy!!! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing....I appreciate that soooo much!!! I'm glad you found me and I hope you find other videos that interest you and inspire you. If you like mini albums I have a playlist with them in it so you can find them easier.....but I hope you scroll through my channel in case there is something you didn't even know you were interested in :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you love this and I hope you try it. You should watch June 2nd I will have a video on another version of this....smaller and square....but just as awesome :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you so much Katrina!!! I think something like this is right up your ally....but of course you would be doing a lot more to it and it would look amazing! Don't forget to enter your beautiful creations in Crafter's Castle challenge :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your comment and it's good to know that my tutorial was understandable. I have another one that just went up today (even though it was really my first) that is smaller. Check out my channel and you will see it :) Hugs...Janie
Love the detailed instructions and the finished product!! Am curious about the paperweight that you used, I know you mentioned that it was 65lb but am wondering about using the 110lb weight. Have you tried a heavier weight, did you have good results?
Thank you! Actually I use 110lb cardstock for almost everything I do....I buy it by the ream.....it's what I do ALL of my printing on and make my card bases with. So all of that paterned cardstock in this video was printed on 110lb cardstock. But when I use colored cardstock it's the 65lb from Michaels, not because I want 65lb but because that is the weight of their colored cardstock. So yes 110lb cardstock is perfect :) Hugs...Janie
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve watched quite a few mini album tutorials and some use the 65 lb while others use the 110 lbs. I have gotten 110 lb paper at Hobby Lobby. I buy it when they have their 50% off Paper Studio brand. It’s usually every other week 😊. Thanks again and have a great one. I watched your 4x4 album tutorial, very cute!
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you like this and will be trying it. You can cut the patterned paper to whatever size gives you the look you want. I cut mine 6 3/4" x 4 3/4" for the full pages and less for the flaps and the front of the cover....but all were 6 3/4" tall. I would love to see what you do.....and you can enter them in Crafter's Castle monthly challenge :) Hugs...Janie crafterscastle.blogspot.com
Hi....thanks for watching. You can make the layers whatever size you like. Some people cut the layers 1/4" smaller each direction, some cut them 1/8" smaller each direction. It just depends on the look you are going for or your taste....I like to leave that up to you. But looking at the video it looks like I must have cut them 1/4" smaller, so for example if the page is 5x7 then the layer would be 4 3/4" x 6 3/4". My goal is show how to create the album itself and leave the decorating to to viewers.....you can get inspiration from what I have done but but from there use your own imagination and decorate to taste. I'm so sorry that I don't provide more. But I hope the measurement example I gave will help you get started :) Hugs...Janie
The edge distresser......I just checked and can't believe that CTMH doesn't sell it anymore. But not a problem.....I searched for you and here is the link to the best priced edge distresser I found. Also this is a fabulous online craft store to shop at....they have everything you can think of and at great prices :) Hugs...Janie www.createforless.com/Tonic-Studios-Tools-Tim-Holtz-Paper-Distresser/pid133874.aspx
I am not sure what you are asking. What do you mean you are looking for the distressed? Distressed what? Distressed papers? Distress Ink? Distressed? Please clarify and I will do my best to help you.
this is the best tutorial I have ever seen. I love your voice and how slowly you spoke. I hope you do many many many more. I know this one is years old and I don't know if you do thank you very much I've already made four of them!!

Thank you 😊
excellent tutorial....tfs
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your comment and it's good to know that my tutorial was understandable. I have another one that just went up today (even though it was really my first) that is smaller. Check out my channel and you will see it :) Hugs...Janie
Love the detailed instructions and the finished product!! Am curious about the paperweight that you used, I know you mentioned that it was 65lb but am wondering about using the 110lb weight. Have you tried a heavier weight, did you have good results?
Thank you! Actually I use 110lb cardstock for almost everything I do....I buy it by the ream.....it's what I do ALL of my printing on and make my card bases with. So all of that paterned cardstock in this video was printed on 110lb cardstock. But when I use colored cardstock it's the 65lb from Michaels, not because I want 65lb but because that is the weight of their colored cardstock. So yes 110lb cardstock is perfect :) Hugs...Janie
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve watched quite a few mini album tutorials and some use the 65 lb while others use the 110 lbs. I have gotten 110 lb paper at Hobby Lobby. I buy it when they have their 50% off Paper Studio brand. It’s usually every other week 😊. Thanks again and have a great one. I watched your 4x4 album tutorial, very cute!
When printing on 110 lb carstock, is there a special type or brand?
molto bello complimenti
guglielmina gigante Thank you :) Hugs...Janie
Very pretty, definitely going to be making some! What size did you cut your patterned paper? TFS!
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you like this and will be trying it. You can cut the patterned paper to whatever size gives you the look you want. I cut mine 6 3/4" x 4 3/4" for the full pages and less for the flaps and the front of the cover....but all were 6 3/4" tall. I would love to see what you do.....and you can enter them in Crafter's Castle monthly challenge :) Hugs...Janie crafterscastle.blogspot.com
thank you a great tutorial
Thank you so much....I'm happy you like it :) Hugs...Janie
what are the layer sizes to this album/Betty
Hi....thanks for watching. You can make the layers whatever size you like. Some people cut the layers 1/4" smaller each direction, some cut them 1/8" smaller each direction. It just depends on the look you are going for or your taste....I like to leave that up to you. But looking at the video it looks like I must have cut them 1/4" smaller, so for example if the page is 5x7 then the layer would be 4 3/4" x 6 3/4". My goal is show how to create the album itself and leave the decorating to to viewers.....you can get inspiration from what I have done but but from there use your own imagination and decorate to taste. I'm so sorry that I don't provide more. But I hope the measurement example I gave will help you get started :) Hugs...Janie
I am looking for the distressed tool that you used
The edge distresser......I just checked and can't believe that CTMH doesn't sell it anymore. But not a problem.....I searched for you and here is the link to the best priced edge distresser I found. Also this is a fabulous online craft store to shop at....they have everything you can think of and at great prices :) Hugs...Janie www.createforless.com/Tonic-Studios-Tools-Tim-Holtz-Paper-Distresser/pid133874.aspx
I looked for the distressed and i could not find it.
I am not sure what you are asking. What do you mean you are looking for the distressed? Distressed what? Distressed papers? Distress Ink? Distressed? Please clarify and I will do my best to help you.
