[@denverkat276]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am new to mini albums and inserts are hard for me to think of sometimes. I've got tons of papers and embellishments but have a tendency to get bored with trying to figure out what to do next. Your videos truly help me come up with ideas. I'm learning to plan it out first. Winging it is just too hard for me. Thank you so much!! you rock!

[@papercrafter45]

WOW!! That's so nice of you to say! Thank you very much! I'm pleased you're enjoying the projects & totally agree with you about the frustration of "winging it"!! LOL! So happy you stopped by & took the time to write such a lovely comment. Take care & have a wonderful day! :)

I followed the first tutorial with no problem---not so on the second part--being new I thought that like the first one you would give the measurements --I got completely lost--so sorry not your fault I guess I am just to new --Hopefully I can figure it out,because I really like this tutorial--thank you for sharring---

[@rominasamore2648]

Wonderful!!!!!! Thanks for the video

[@TheNickelNook]

Beautiful! Great choice of papers too because I have those! lol Thank you so much! :o)

[@SabrinaOreskovicCraftySabby]

Just love this, i too can't wait to try.thank you!

[@papercrafter45]

You're very welcome, Sabrina! It's great to hear you'll be giving this project a go! Thanks so much for watching & taking the time to write … have a great day! :)

[@blackpearl4155]

this is so beautiful. You do wonderful work. Is there somewhere you have posted the measurements for each piece?

[@xLeilanixAllenx]

awesome!! I have a question though. I know you added the flap to the gusset of the bag but on the back where you put the butterfly flap pocket could you, before putting the insert together, cut a slit just a touch lower than the gusset so a tag or 2 can be inserted into the main of the paper bag? or did you try and it not work? I'm new to scrapbooking and album making so I don't know much.

[@vickiem3696]

Love it!

[@mctirad]

Love watching your video. How would you bind multiple inserts together if you wanted this to be a mini album? I love all the flaps and various pockets to have things in. Do you already have a video that shows how to bind this or with this design it won't work? Thanks!

[@papercrafter45]

Hi, Marie! Thanks for writing! Hmmm … great question! Honestly, I'm not really sure how several could be bound to make a book. With some creative adjustments, it probably could be adapted, but this insert was designed as a stand-alone piece, not a mini album page. :)

[@victoriaciolek9585]

Loved it...thank you...

[@papercrafter45]

You're very welcome, Victoria! Thanks so much for watching & commenting! :)

[@vegasjill21]

Ingenious.. And beautiful paper placement using gorgeous paper. At :45 you cover a wooden ornament, with glue and paper, and I assume it is chipboard?? And did you cut it out with a die cut machine?? I just got a GC Spellbinder and need to know if that can be done. (Before I try it!! lol ) But I think it would need something sharp to cut it. Thank you~

[@papercrafter45]

+vegasjill21 It’s a laser-cut wood piece. Very thin & flat. Could be from Prima … not sure, though. Thanks for your nice comment! Have fun creating with your Grand Calibur! :)

[@TheBrisnana]

love love love

[@janetmakes8783]

Teach Tuesday great name for tutorial x

[@jacquichimes]

Brilliant :-))

[@dianajemison105]

Llllloooove iiiit!!!! ;)

[@victoriaciolek9585]

what size is this again and where can I buy the paper? I am in love with it...your great....

[@papercrafter45]

Hi, Victoria! Thanks for writing! The insert measures 7-3/4" x 5". It's matted with the 6" x 6" Prima "Almanac" paper stack. Not sure if this collection is still available … I'd recommend you search online. :)

[@Blissfulthings]

looks wonderful...ive never done a paper bag book so im confused lol please come over and help me! remember i have the bandaids!

[@SandraBevr01]

Very clever

[@papercrafter45]

Thanks so much, Sandra! I really appreciate you watching & commenting! Have a great day! :)

[@debcates2913]

Hi! I just love your work - so beautiful!! I do have a question...I'm a newbie so hopefully this isn't a silly question. You state that this can be a stand-alone or mini album insert. If you were to use this as a mini album insert, how would you attach it? I didn't see any kind of slot that would slip over a "hinge" or "accordion" binding system....etc.. Thank you :)

[@papercrafter45]

Hi, Deborah! Thanks for writing … I really appreciate your kind words! When I say "insert," what I mean is something that can be tucked into a pocket or sleeve in a mini album. In other words, it doesn't need to be attached & can be freely pulled out (like a tag, for instance). Sorry for making it sound like it can readily be attached to a page or hinge binding! Please let me know if that helps or if I've confused the issue even more! LOL! :)

[@debcates2913]

***** Thank you!! That makes total sense - I greatly appreciate your response!! :)

[@sarahadams9985]

Would you attach like a page? How would you attach to an album? Thank you.

[@Anna-loves-you]

I would like to know that too...

[@victoriaciolek9585]

could you add more pockets to it? or just leave it as is? I am still learning....

[@papercrafter45]

Hi there, Victoria! Thanks for writing! You can customize ANY project to suit your own needs, design & style. There are no rules! :)

[@victoriaciolek9585]

thank you!

[@papercrafter45]

victoria Ciolek You're very welcome! :)

[@Blissfulthings]

you mean a bottle or two right?? LOL
