twinz4me2 LOL, She's not there very often, Her cage is in the main family area but every once and a while she hangs out in my craft room with me. TFW, Sara
Thank you Sara for sharing the midori insert pocket tutorial. I can't wait to get started on one. Vellum has a mind of it's own. It seems to want to curl or roll. I think your band will hold it in place in the midori. Hugs!
Great tutorial! Thank you. The vellum just pulled forward from gluing it to the sides. Once in with the elastic it lays flat. Loved the idea of using it.
Hello, & good morning, I stumbled across your video, & you were going through ur new file folder reviews on your print choices, they all are so nice, but let me say, the one file folder that you did not like, I simply LOVED, as a crafter, I'm new to paper crafts, wen I created a craft, And I did not like something, it ended up being my VERY BEST seller at my craft shows, so don't be hard on yourself with ur new journey with ideas u don't like, you'll be surprised to know they could be ur best seller, I for one, simply LOVED that pattern you put together, keep doing what you DO BEST ❤❤❤, I have now subscribed to ur channel.
Aww I love your bird, I had a half moon conure for years named Reba... they are awesome (yet loud) birds :) Love your midori... i just made my first one and am looking to make the inserts :)
Hi Stacy. She's pretty quiet for a conure. I know sun conures are loud for sure. My first bird was a half moon, but he was wild caught and I had no experience so we gave him back to the store and got a hand fed baby. I have a few videos on inserts. Have fun. Ttyl Sara
Love your tutorial! Thank you, I am so not a "paper crafter" you have made this easy for the beginner...thanks again see you soon! And your baby is very sweet! I've always wanted love birds, fingers crossed I get them on the 1st of Aug. (My birthday wink - wink)
its not the vellum, I had one bow with cardstock. the difference is if you glue it while it is still halfway folded,(at 90degree angel) as opposed to leaving the paper flat when glueing, there is a smidge of difference that produces the bowing effect. you emphasized the tucking of the crease and then glued while it was still folded not flat, I found this out when I made a few following those instructions, and if I tucked the inside crease really well, but opened the folder and then glued it didnt bow. :) fyi, HTH love the video, loved making these, thanks!!
Sara, thank you for this video ... great information and how-to! Will you be offering a video on fusing the plastic pockets? Love the way your folders turned out!
I think velum just has a mind of its own. It tends to curl up. Maybe you could paperclip the velum to the cover all along the top edge before gluing the sides down, just to make sure the velum is completely flat against the cover? It still may bow. :) Lovely paper choices!
Thank you for sharing. Now, I need to find out what dimensions I need for pocket folders to fit 3.5x5.5, 8.5x11 and 8.25x5.8. Will trial and error with regular paper.
Thanks for doing all the work and sharing! I'm thinking the vellum is just weird like that. Love all the colors you chose. Do you have the measurements for the small folders too? The handpainted fauxdori is so pretty! So is your bird!!
sadiejosiemom Oh Thank you. I just looked all over for the little one and I can't find it, so I will make another one. I should have told you guys those too. Sorry, TFW, Sara
Hi, I just looked all over for it, can't find it. So I will have to make another one and I will let you know. TFW, Sara PS. You can probably figure it out though.
These are just the cutest and your video was so easy to follow. I have mastered the technique you shared and made a bunch of folders using scrapbook paper I had just laying around collecting dust. BUT!! I just got my Buteo Bunker cahier sized trifold a couple days ago so I'm wondering if you had any idea what I should do for dimensions for that?
Thank you for the wonderful tut. I am a new subscriber today! Also, where did you get your pink bone folder? I’m in the market for one and I admire yours.
Love your tutorial. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm wanting to make these for my smaller Travelers Midori. Can you share the measurements for it?
Love the dori with the flowers and the folder you said you didn't like because it was gray and black . I'm new to your videos , so have you opened an esty store cause i would like to get some folders . I like the style of them .
Carolann Tracy OK. I have a store and I am a terrible business woman. I list things randomly and at the moment I have nothing in there because they all expired. I will try and work on it. TFW, Sara
Sarah, you did an excellent job; thanks for sharing! As to the "bowing" it is just the vellum as it is strong paper and pulls it, but when folded the midori works grate, so I think it is excellent as is, because vellum adds much to the folder. What is the size of your inside pages? Best, Linda
+Rebecca Duggan Thanks. My ETSY shop is called Myserenitycrafts12, I don't have any stock at the moment because I am taking everything to my craft show on Nov. 7. but I will stock it with whats left when I get back. TFW, SAra
So lovely!!! Is it called Kiwi? Had dogs, cats, horses, even a turtle. But my secret wish would be a bird that could be around 'free' of any cage. You 2 are special. 😘
she is so cute and we'll be having I have one too he is soo spoiled by me he says my name and he likes to be petted on his little head but he bites 😲 boy that hurts!! lol but I love him great video
It makes me happy that you have a bird on your shoulder while crafting! So very cool! Love the insert! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Christy
twinz4me2 LOL, She's not there very often, Her cage is in the main family area but every once and a while she hangs out in my craft room with me. TFW, Sara
Your folders are beautiful! Seamless. Your artistry is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing, so much.

Gwen M. Casteel thank you Gwen
Great tutorial! Thank you. The vellum just pulled forward from gluing it to the sides. Once in with the elastic it lays flat. Loved the idea of using it.
+Cathi Myers Thanks

+NG B I was going too and then I moved on to something else. Sorry. TFW, SAra
Kiwi is precious!!!
Your bird is beautiful! And thank you for sharing this :-)
It could be because of the wax like paper you used. I wouldn't stress it came out beautiful.
I think velum just has a mind of its own. It tends to curl up. Maybe you could paperclip the velum to the cover all along the top edge before gluing the sides down, just to make sure the velum is completely flat against the cover? It still may bow. :) Lovely paper choices!
Lolly Palooza You are right. It has calmed down now that it is dry. Thanks Lolly, Sara
Thank you for sharing. Now, I need to find out what dimensions I need for pocket folders to fit 3.5x5.5, 8.5x11 and 8.25x5.8. Will trial and error with regular paper.
You may need to glue the vellum centre to the back paper
Never made mine with that side notch before. Maybe I should. Good idea :o)
Thanks for doing all the work and sharing! I'm thinking the vellum is just weird like that. Love all the colors you chose. Do you have the measurements for the small folders too? The handpainted fauxdori is so pretty! So is your bird!!
sadiejosiemom Oh Thank you. I just looked all over for the little one and I can't find it, so I will make another one. I should have told you guys those too. Sorry, TFW, Sara
I would love to have the measurements and scoring for the smaller one. Would you mind sharing?
Could you please share the measurements for the smaller version also. This is such a genius idea ... thank you!!!!!
Hi, I just looked all over for it, can't find it. So I will have to make another one and I will let you know. TFW, Sara PS. You can probably figure it out though.

+amandavuono1992 Well, I don't know what a buteo bunker cahier is, so no, Sorry. TFW, Sara
The inserts for the cover I have are the moleskine cahier size, so basically just a regular size wide. Thank you anyway!!
good tutorial
thanks for taking the time
Do you have a tutorial for a mini planner folder insert?
Hi! great video! I have a pocket/field notes TN and I was wondering what the dimensions of making one to fit that size should be. Thanks!
Thank you for the wonderful tut. I am a new subscriber today! Also, where did you get your pink bone folder? I’m in the market for one and I admire yours.
