Creative Envelopes - Easy Concertina Wallet Tutorial 2 Ways

[@alisonmary1443]

The prettier the folder the more I want to use it. You always have the most gorgeous papers and now brads, I definitely need them in my stash. Thank you good tutorial.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Alison, I am the same. If it doesn’t inspire me, I won’t use it 💕

[@Leafkittie]

Hi Nina, I’m so glad you showed the envelopes with the glue. I have a hard time with the tape bc, like you said, once it’s stuck down you can’t move it. I think these pockets are really cute too. Can’t wait to try another envelope project. I’m actually working on an envelope booklet now. Tfs. Kristin 💜

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Glad this was helpful Kristin. I preferred the ones made with 3 in 1 as it seems to stiffen the paper slightly which is helpful. Hope you’ll give them a try 💕

[@emmbenn960]

Great project Nina. Beautiful wallets. Thanks for showing 2 versions on how to make.

[@58calangel]

Super cute Nina! I am a bit late in watching, had a long weekend due to a family reunion but I love what everyone is doing and sharing on the Facebook Group. Now off to watch Kylies!

[@benteandersensundlo9004]

Just loved these! So pretty and yet so doable at the same time. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@gracienorton1152]

Adorable little concertina wallets! TFS the inspiration, Nina!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Gail 💕

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

A great tip, Nina on how to keep your envelopes straight. I can use this tip for so many things. Thank you so much. Love the envelopes and giving them as gifts as well as the buttons from the leftover paper. Great video!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Lenella. I’m glad this was helpful 💕

[@janicemoio5768]

Love love love!!! Another wonderful creative envelope design! Thank you for sharing💕☕

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Janice, glad you like them 💕

[@skmoreau100]

I made several of these a couple years ago and gave them to family members for Christmas... never made myself one! But - I still have the master boards that I made at the time... I’m going to make me one this size to use for embellishments that I make... I’m currently preparing for a scrapbook crop next weekend... so I’m busy making embellishments for my pages. This will be perfect!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

These are great for holding embellishments and ephemera. Happy creating and I hope your scrapbook crop goes well 💕

[@Scrapitydoodah]

Very cute. A nice way to store those little bits and pieces xx

They are handy and I never tire of making these. Its a beautiful pad isn’t it. Hugs 💕 xxx

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful concertina Nina. Now I know what I want to use all those extra envelopes and paper that I love (and was hoarding) to make. This looks easier to make than they look when finished. Thanks so much. Have a great week.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

They really are easy to make. Be warned they are another addictive make as well 💕💕💕

[@dianecallahan-caro9810]

What a great idea and your examples are beautiful. Thanks, NIna!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Laura 💕

[@lenabot5961]

Good morning nina, some time ago I made an envelop following your instructions from a previous video, what I admire in you is your precision, you work so precise. The envelops today were so pretty, your masterboards would be so nice collected in a book, really. Putting the envelops together with glue is a good idea, takes less time and good results as well. Have a good week nina, love lenaxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much as always Lena. I think the next time I make these, I will combine both methods and still use the tape around the edges of the front and back cover. The glue definitely takes a lot less time. Hope you have a lovely week too 💕 xx

[@susiemartin8172]

You have perfected these over the years. Well done😃

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Susie, I never tire of making these 💕

[@leetravathan]

I almost stopped breathing when I saw that masterboard! I made one almost just like it about 2 years ago and just found it a week ago. Wow. Great minds think alike. :-) Love it!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

I hope this has given you some ideas for using it. They are so useful to have in our stash aren’t they. Happy Creating 💕

[@leetravathan]

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Indeed!

[@evelynrauseo467]

Love this project. Your folders are gorgeous! I am still using the one I made years ago from your previous video. I love the way this turned out. I may need to make some as gifts because as you say they are easy to mail.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

I have made so many of these over the years and I never tire of them. They really do make super gifts 💕

[@jenniferwatson7118]

LOVE these! That Eastern Influences paper is stunning! Thanks for the two versions!

[@anne-mariestevenson3296]

I love the Craft Consortium papers. These are lovely. I'm in the process of making a "mini album" (they're not mini just smaller than 12 x 12), which is going to be a recipe holder/memory book*. This would be an ideal addition possibly inside the back cover. * It's for an old friend and we're sufficiently "mature" to have collected lots of recipes and many are from people no longer with us. The album will have space for recipes and also photos and journalling.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Oh, that sounds like a wonderful idea 💕💕💕

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Love love love theses accordion envelopes! Hugs Marsha

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

As usual another inspiring video. Decided that during this year I will make an altered book and put in all the thing I’ve been inspired to do. So these concertina folders will defiantly play a part. Thanks again for fab video and now off to Pound Land for some envelopes

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Glad you enjoyed it 💕

[@lauramurphy438]

Hello Nina, Lovely concertina wallets. I have some beautiful 12x12 patterned paper that I think would make beautiful concertina wallets. Thanks for the idea and the tip about the washi tape. I have a few rolls of washi tape that I have issues with it tearing partway through getting some for a project. Have a lovely day!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Laura, they are really fun to make and a great way of using your patterned papers. Glad the washi tip was helpful as its annoying when the tear like that isn’t it 💕

[@christieoertel1460]

These envelopes, are wonderful and am thinking of making big envelopes to make a wallet for my friend to put her 8 grandchildrens' drawings in. I like coloured brads and will have a search for them. The Indian paper is beautiful. TFS Always love your projects.Have a great week

Super cute, can’t wait to do mine! Thanks Nina. Crafty hugs. Xx PS....OMG....love that paper pad! 😍

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Ali, its a gorgeous pad isn’t it 💕

[@DanasMakingAMessAgain]

Just an idea for you, as I also love marker to make edges look finished. I used a utility knife to make a shallow V in the square nib of my marker. Pliers whit a pair of hemostats make this difficult maneuver easy. It also works great on my nylon 18kt gold pen...and several others! One tiny slice will enable your paper to stay tucked into the felt nib preventing slipping! I love your wallet!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

What a great idea! Thank you 💕

[@purplenanna1272]

Love these...after I made 2 bigger ones a few years ago,I said never again 😂.Love how you used the scraps for ‘buttons’.Well I’ve seen some strange things in craft rooms,but never a house brick before 😂.Thanks for Washi tip,as mine do the same! x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

😂 The brick comes in very handy sometimes 😂. The glue versions were much quicker and easier to make, but I’m not sure that 5 gallon bottle of PVA will be your best option! You really need either an acetone glue or glue stick which won’t warp and buckle your envelopes. Glad the Washi tip was helpful 😘❤️ xxx
