I cannot thank you enough for all you have done to accelerate my ability to produce these mini albums. Years ago when I tried there were no tutorials (no computers or internet) and I couldn't quite make it work. You have clarified this for me and now the sky is the limit and I am having so much fun with these. Thank you so much. You are a gem.
Love, love, love you!! Thank you so much for your step by step demonstrations!! I can follow your every move with ease. You are so real! I appreciate your mistakes, cutting of your finger, sticky bandages, and great sense of humor! I'm new at this, but I truly feel I can make this! Thank you for such a great video, and will be your biggest fan! Lol Have a Blessed and Creative day! Xoxoxo
Ginger, I want you too know what a "joy" you are to watch. You my dear are so fun to watch. You are not only soothing you are interesting while educating. You my dear are what us Texans like to call "an all around athlete" in the world of scrapbooking. You honey are a "true wonder" to behold. I have been a sub of yours for a while and just wanted you to know how much I and others like myself appreciate your hard work and dedication to sharing while educating us. I do have a quick question. Wouldn't the pockets cardstock measurements be a bit more (instead of 3 in be 3 1/2 in) ??? Or is that just a preference ? Again I want to Thank you from the bottom of my Southern Texas for all your gumption, I hope I can one day get the confidence to finally do my first video tutorial. I just pray it will be half as good as yours. Thank you again hun ! 😀 Hugs from Texas ❤❤❤
You are most welcome! Thank you for the nice compliments!! I'm originally from Texas! Got the birth certificate to prove it!! lol! You can make the pockets what ever size you want depending on the style of punch you want to use as well as how deep you want the pocket. That measurement is just personal preference!! p.s. I just got back a couple weeks ago from Houston for a wedding! It was so good to be "home"!
+My Sisters Scrapper Ginger, As a fellow Texas sister can you please give a Texas sister some good advice ? I really am trying to get my courage and confidence up enough too do my first tutorial, but something about it just scares the dickens outta me. Maybe it's my age and I worry that some of these younger gals won't listen to an old woman...lol plus you add on top of it I have a harsh Texas drawl....it just worries me so ! It maybe it's just my lack of courage I dunno. But you are a seasoned UA-camr can ya help me out here please ??? Any help, advice or tips or maybe you could do a tutorial on how to get started doing what you do ? That would be way cool and a big help. I am sure I am not the only one wanting to try a go at it...lol. There ain't nothing better than a Texas wedding...hehe, I do hope you enjoyed your visit and got to spend a lil quality time with your kin. Thank you Ginger so very much darlin. Hugs from Texas ❤
Yay!!! I am so happy that you take the time to put this out for us, how you put in all of the time work and effort to do this. Most people don't realize what comes along with making a tutorial.... Lol! Thanks again so much! this is one of my favorite style of mini albums that you have made I was so curious on how you attached your pages, then here you are with a tutorial putting out all the hard work for us. Thanks again for taking the time to do this. Just all amazing work.
I made a mini version of this using file folder die cuts... It holds 2.5x3.5 size photos.. Had to tweak it a little to work with my die cuts but i love how it turned out. I just found your Facebook page and Liked it too... I love your tutorials. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Ginger for the measurements to matching the papers to your file folders. But you know that your perfect tutorials seduce to copy your artwork ;)
thank you for this...i could not stop watching...you make this so easy and so interesting. thanks for being so patient and giving the tips and tricks...i am going to be making my first album soon.. am a new subbie as well...sunshine and coconuts from Trinidad&Tobago.
Love your work and this tutorial is so easy to follow me and my mom both just bought the envelope punch what a great project. I told her to look it up she's 80 and gets frustrated easy this is a winner for her..
Love this so far! One question, would you use your corner rounder for the edges of your pp pages like you did with the kraft cardstock? I supposed this might be optional, lol (my brain thinks after the fact some times, lol)
HI GINGER LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS YOU THINK IT WILL TO MUCH TO MAKE 12 PAGES FOR THIS ALBUM... ACTUALLY I AM TRYING TO MAKE MY OWN PLANNER.... THANKS LILLY
Hi Ginger, so glad you are back with a splendid tutorial. I have a question.. Do you have an other method to make the file folder?????? , because I don't own the envelop punch! I hope you can help me, TFS
You can if you want. You would need to leave the bottom of the front pocket open. I'm just not sure if the file folders would open as nice as having the binding attached to the back. But you can certainly give it a try.
I have used the measurements for the pages pockets (3x9.25) and they don't FIT. TOO SMALL!! They do not just fit - about 1/4 inch too SMALL. I've wasted so much black card stock, it's not funny. And frustrating.
+My Sisters Scrapper length wise - the one that should be 9.25 (long side) the folder is 8.5 which is correct. I re-done the file folders 3 x's or so because I didn't watch the video closely, but I went to your blog, and copy and pasted the instructions to print out; and I even re-watch part 2 to get the measurements.
+Carolyn Smith you may consider the 9 1/4 the width - I'm not that proficient in math and the rulers. Watching videos great, but I rather have everything in written form. I score 1/2 inch on each end like stated in video and may be it should be 1/4 inch in. I actually enjoy this mini-album series and would like to get this figured out so I can create more.
I love watching your tutorials. You're an awesome teacher and I appreciate the time you take to show us how you make your beautiful art work

This is so easy to follow along with. Thank you for being so detailed on everything.
You're welcome!
You make such lovely tutorials. I will definitely be making one of these. Thankyou x
Thanks Ginger for sharing this video, love your work! Will have to try one of these File Folder Minis.

Thanks!! That's awesome! Glad you like it! I love my envelope punch board!!
Fantastic love this so much. Thanks for sharing❤️
Hi Thank you for this Mini Album Tutorial
Veronica
omg your such a good teacher !!!
Great content!
Love this so far! One question, would you use your corner rounder for the edges of your pp pages like you did with the kraft cardstock? I supposed this might be optional, lol (my brain thinks after the fact some times, lol)
+Leslie Speers Yes, I used my corner rounder for the design paper as well.
Thank you!
HI GINGER LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS
YOU THINK IT WILL TO MUCH TO MAKE 12 PAGES FOR THIS ALBUM... ACTUALLY I AM TRYING TO MAKE MY OWN PLANNER.... THANKS LILLY
I think it will be fine.
Hi Ginger, so glad you are back with a splendid tutorial. I have a question.. Do you have an other method to make the file folder?????? , because I don't own the envelop punch! I hope you can help me, TFS
Sorry I do not. You could always make the pages without the file tabs and add a die cut file tab separately.
Thank you Ginger for the suggestion! I also found a diecut on my cricut cartridge, perhaps this can do the job, greetings from Belgium
Rita
+Rita Troch Maybe you could use actual file folders, cut them down, then add your pretty papers
Ginger what ink did you use to ink around the pages? I couldn't catch the color. Love this tutorial!
I use walnut stain distress ink.
Thanks so much!
Hi Ginger, I was wondering just how many 8 x 8 packs of the paper. I want to make sure I have enough paper.
I used a full 8x8 paper pad as well as some papers from the 6x6.
The link to your blog (for the measurements) does not work.
what kind and size is your envelope punch plz
Diana Molinaro my punch board is from Stampin Up. It is made by WeR Memory Keepers.
Beatifull why not bind the pages by the pockets
You can if you want. You would need to leave the bottom of the front pocket open. I'm just not sure if the file folders would open as nice as having the binding attached to the back. But you can certainly give it a try.
I have used the measurements for the pages pockets (3x9.25) and they don't FIT. TOO SMALL!! They do not just fit - about 1/4 inch too SMALL. I've wasted so much black card stock, it's not funny. And frustrating.
Carolyn, I'm sorry that you are frustrated. Where is the measurement too short?
+My Sisters Scrapper length wise - the one that should be 9.25 (long side) the folder is 8.5 which is correct. I re-done the file folders 3 x's or so because I didn't watch the video closely, but I went to your blog, and copy and pasted the instructions to print out; and I even re-watch part 2 to get the measurements.

I score 1/2 inch on each end like stated in video and may be it should be 1/4 inch in. I actually enjoy this mini-album series and would like to get this figured out so I can create more.
+Carolyn Smith in part 1 of the tutorial I trimmed the 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock to 8-1/4.. I did this so I could use an 8x8 paper pad.
