How to Make a Hidden Pocket for a Junk Journals! One Idea 3 ways! The Paper Outpost :)

[@elaines.5229]

Thank you doesn't express the joy you put back into crafting for me. Watching your videos knocked down the brick wall I put up. I had told myself I had to make crafts perfect and had no room for errors watching you showed me how to have fun again by twisting an idea and seeing what I could do to make it my own idea. Again, thank you. Does this now make us Twisted sisters..LOL

We appreciate our lawn guys, the sounds of Florida.

This is really cute. Like quick cute projects that aren’t ephemera. Projects that will clean up our never-ending scraps.

[@janscott821]

I love making secret writing and hiding places in my journals. I like the one you did with the Jesus pic. Sunny boy you are so blessed to have a mama that likes to give you kisses . 🥰Happy 2023🎉. Love to Pam, Sunny and the Pamily. ❤

[@sueleblanc2152]

You should do a digital kit of your watercolors. They’re beautiful. I’m going to try this with Christmas cards. Thanks Pam

[@deborahbovee9468]

Fantastic idea for Christmas cards!

[@karenhankerson330]

Love this idea Pam.😊. I hand to write my thought before I forget lol. You could use and envelope that doesn't open. Put picture on front and back then cut in half. Instant pocket. Then decorate. Love to see how you painted your flower.

[@patriciaclements2727]

PPS wonderful, delightful demonstration of “reckless abandon” today. Thank you 😊

[@pamobryan5455]

Your watercolor is GORGEOUS! Can't wait to get my Baby Jesus digikits!!!!!

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Pam & Sunshine, enjoyed watching you make these pretty hidden pockets. TFS

[@catzpajamaz5889]

I couldn't stop making these! I just started gluing postcards together and using index cards as the inside paper. Too fun!

[@jeannepadgett344]

Water color picture is beautiful ❤️

[@tamaraklepel1517]

You haVe a lovely personality! I laughed and laughed! I was watching older videos also! I think it was a video from i year ago and you were making covers from book pages and it started to buckle and then you kept sewing it and your bobbin ran out and all in all, loved it!! Thanks for the laugh! Tamara

[@michellejanossy4125]

Happy New Year Outposters!! This is an awesome idea! 💕Can't wait to try it out in the morning. 🤗

[@lucycabrera7907]

Love you Pam! LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ♥️🥰♥️🥰

[@kateryneart]

Pam, I love all your videos. But I have a suggestion for your merch shop. How about a picture of your sidekick Sunshine with”Time for a Pupdate” I would buy that in a heartbeat because his little face makes me smile. Your channel is my favorite channel. 🤗

[@lindahowe2293]

I've been hoping you would explore this secret pocket idea! I love how you get adventurous and try to figure it out yourself! That's half the fun, isn't it?! Thanks for always inspiring us! Love to the family 🥰

[@mpm6634]

Qué buena idea!!! Me gustó mucho ese bolsillo secreto. El de acuarela quedó buenísimo. Adoro ver tus videos. Saludos 🇦🇷 Mariana.

[@chrisitnemcnally1831]

[@chevynovascotia3301]

The second one..put the piece inside the lower part first then measure the top.

[@leannesutter9429]

[@loreleigriffiths2350]

First of all I love your ideas and sense of humour , great way to make my day ! I hope I’m in a slump , and not going to pack it up .this question is for Pam , and all the wonderful watchers .I’ve watched the videos of what to do when your in a slump or lost your mojo … nothing has helped . I would appreciate any answer or suggestions , I even have the containers ready to pack it in , I’m feeling sorry for myself and it feels sad. I’m in great need of Help !!!!

[@asmith458]

Hi, sorry to hear how you’re feeling right now, I generally keep watching youtube videos or have a look at Pinterest for inspiration, hope you keep going and your mojo returns soon.

[@danacolosimo5874]

I love this idea 😍😊 so fun to make 😊😊 TFS 😘😘😘😘😘

[@barbsjournalcreation3668]

Love this idea.

[@cindyreseck4429]

So pretty!!!

[@diannebartolotta9641]

Cool idea. Going to do this one. Love your nails.

[@Zandain]

What a fun pocket idea, Pam! 🥰 I'm gonna give it a go! 🐾 💋 🐾 hello from Denmark 🌸❄️

[@pamobryan5455]

Cool Pam!!!!

[@pammerola3801]

Looks like a great use for old greeting cards !!

[@Veronim78]

Great idea.

[@karinroloff4562]

Love these ideas...Cool!........😻

[@julielakey594]

So cute thanks for sharing

[@Tink2Zoe]

Sounds like Sunny is telling the lawn guy to stop. 😄

[@Sundies_Art]

Very good idea Pam. I saw something similar with SevenPlaza (Margareth), she used two greeting cards and used a paperclip in between to attach to a journal. Both very good ideas for some extra writing space and decoration. I have so many watercolor paintings that I could cut up and use for this. Thank you for sharing and have a beautiful day.

[@lammilee1]

Such a cool idea...and what an adventure to see how you made it your own, by pushing the limits! You inspired me....and I've made 4 so far...in 2 different styles! Thank you for a fun break in my day! 😘

[@caljstg]

Nice idea!

[@kellyhards8828]

I LOVE fabric swatches! Saving my money NOW!😁💕💕💕

[@karenhankerson330]

Loving them. This could be a bookmark or perhaps a business card holder. Tyfs your ideas.😊🦋😎

[@maineiacts]

Awesome Pam!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR!! HI SUNNY!🙋🏻‍♀️🤗👍

[@susananderson8428]

Love this idea! Hidden pockets are so fun but this is a new great way! TFS.

[@LeeLeeCreates]

This is really cool Pam. I’m going to try it! ❤

[@pewdgie]

Hi Pam! Good morning from Tucson!

[@shawnrobinson6718]

Well goodmorning!! So glad you made a video on this!! I seen someone else do it but the instructions didn't make sense to me. So yayy think you im going to make a few of these today!!

[@sherrydennis2419]

These are really cute! Thanks for sharing.

[@nancyfair5607]

Pam you did a great job. It's so beautiful

[@thelmahall2593]

i really like these pockets tyvm for sharing :)

[@belindasmith9739]

These look good. Le Cafe Craft makes something similar using an envelope as the base.

[@joycekaishar6981]

Thank you. I have learned a lot. Love the pocket sleeve idea. I will have to recreate it. Thank you.

[@bette-annflood835]

What a clever idea!!

[@jamiemiller5705]

Good morning Pam!

[@karenb1073]

I too agree with "paperlover" cut the side so you don't damage the image. I too will try today and see if it works. Thanks for the "kick in the rear" to try something new. I sometimes need that.

[@annawiesenmuller6878]

That is great, Pam! I'm gonna use this technique to make a birthday greeting card for a dear friend of mine! Thanks a lot 👍

[@CraftroomStories]

I love this whole idea!!!!

[@Veronim78]

Great idea. Love this little project. Will definitely be making some.

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Pam these are great...and we have the same question on trimming Baxter every winter. Finally gave in and trimmed him. Snowballs in his fur were terrible to do deal with. Sweaters keep him warm. Say hi Sunshine, give him another kiss on the forehead.

[@tlcc1690]

Absolutely beautiful! Love it.

[@48juicegirl]

Hope to make one today! Thank you, Pam! Carol, from Michigan

[@jmsl910]

go blue!! the game was stolen!!

[@handysisterscrafts3262]

Edith with scrapbooking with me did similar ones. Convertible tags. But they were not totally made the same. I love these and really love your take on them. Can't wait to make some. Thank you for sharing.

[@flamingo.and.co.26]

Thanks for the reminder. I saw someone do this a while ago bit she left the inside paper a little longer to accent the fact the outside was cut! I will make both styles!

[@MB_Table]

Good morning ☀️

[@berthablessedwilson]

Wow what a fantastic tutorial and cute hello at the end, I’m new to your channel 😊Tfs everything.

[@pamelaallen-sanders5464]

Love your videos.

[@sueweddell9143]

This is so cute! ❤

[@donnaswisher8408]

I've seen something quite similar to this before (our friend Marty) but haven't tried it yet. Now that you have reminded me I may actually get around to trying it. 😄 Cool project. TFS Regards to the menagerie and Papa too. Hope you all have a great day. 🌞

[@paperhoardersanonymous6859]

Probably wouldn’t ink the edge so that it would actually “appear” hidden.

[@asmith458]

Hi Pam, so inspiring as ever, always uplifted by watching you, and feel encouraged by your example to keep going, even when I don’t think what I’m doing is going well. I was wondering about attaching a piece of ribbon at the back top and bottom, so when you open the pocket the two pieces stay attached? Not sure if the bulk would look ugly at the back but I think I’ll give it a go.😊❤

[@kelliecorum5427]

❤TFS!

[@janetgeist8505]

Very clever ideas. Happy New Year to you and yours. 🎉❤

[@Paperlover123]

I was wondering how it would be if you cut UP the card right along right side edge of Jesus, then he stays whole, and you can pull off the side bit. I need to try this! Thanks Pam!

[@CindyWimmer]

Ole dopey me saw the title of this video and thought, "What?! She didn't do a craft chat!" I about cried when I realized it's only Wednesday. I still have 2 more days of work this week.😢😢

[@barbaranoble9748]

I’ve seen this before! It’s really cute and a great idea! Happy New Year !

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

This is SO COOL! I think I'd not ink the division to leave it a mystery... or maybe only a "faint" inking with maybe a very light color... enough that you kinda see it, but not enough it draws your eye easily. Edited to add: Hey Lawn-Person! 👋 Thanks for taking such great care of Sun-bun's yard! (After all, we ALL know who that yard ACTUALLY belongs to!) Pam... you never fail to make me laugh. No worries about the "yard noise". I's say 95% of the time, we hear nothing. The other 5%... well, this was the fitsy time I've heard it so clearly! So yeah... we don't always hear it, but I, for one, find it hilarious that you talk "at" them.

[@simplybarb]

This is perfect for my current project! I would love to use a dictionary page for this with and illustration inside for one of the words...but I should probably glue the page to card stock first before I cut...or not?

[@victoriaguckian8578]

Have you thought about sewing around the edges, no glue needed.

[@chevynovascotia3301]

I loved using my old cards for this, but I think I need thinner paper for the back. I had a hard time getting them in the slot

[@debramckimmy7398]

Cool! Could you use ready made cards?

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I would just use business size envelope that comes in the mail. Seal up the long side cut it to the dimension of your picture. Make sure your picture is the width of a envelope. Pull your picture on. Cut it in half. Cut another piece of paper that's the same size as the picture. Glue that piece of paper inside the top half. And now the bottom half will fit into the bottom half of the envelope. Easy peasy no measuring

[@patriciaclements2727]

PS yes. Me too. Often I am sitting in my chair and lose things. I don’t know how it happens; perhaps gremlins?
