Making a memory book base using Tonic Studio dies

[@shadowbeagle]

You are so very kind to take the time and effort to explain things so clearly. I struggle with dyslexia and some videos of other youtubers end up frustrating me. Not their fault, but mine because of the dyslexia. Your videos are amazing! They make my crafting time enjoyable, i do appreciate that is a lot of work that goes into a video. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough. I hope you keep well and safe.

[@paulford6686]

Those words really touched me. As a Primary School Teacher, who has taught many a child with dyslexia, I’m glad that I am able to help others too.

I have had this exact Tonic Studio dies set for since they came out, and I haven't used them. I will get the dies off the shelf onto some card. I am to attend a baby shower this year, and this album will make the perfect gift. I want to thank you for your very well explained video on how to make a simple album from the dies. You've done a wonderful job!

[@paulford6686]

Thank you. Glad you are now inspired to get the dies cutting!

[@margaretgranville2091]

Thank you Paul. So well explained. I have dies galore but first time I've made a book that I've felt happy with. Love the way the pages lie flat, gives a more professional finish. Now to decorate!!

[@paulford6686]

That is wonderful to hear and glad it made those dies got used! Remember to share your versions over on my Facebook group Papercrafting With Paul: facebook.com/groups/334868694336217/

Thank you so much

[@candiem60]

Thank You Paul! I followed along with your video and the instructions were so clear and easy to follow! You are a very good teacher! I also made the tri-fold card album. Again, it was so easy to follow! Both album bases have turned out so nice! Now I need to finish them!😊 Thank you for taking the time to make these "easy to follow" videos! Please don't ever stop! 🤗🥰

[@loominjeanie3391]

Thanks, Paul, that was a brilliant tutorial. I have the dies you have and the spine too but havent used them yet. I think I'll try your version first but I need 6 pages.

[@paulford6686]

6 is fine, you just need to make a couple more by making the spine one step wider following the same ratio for the widths

Suzanne Eastman you’re welcome

[@kimdad3748]

Thank you so much for this, I tried to ask Tamara how to do this but I did not word it very well! I am quite sure there will be many like me that are very grateful for you doing this but not always capable of thanking you for various reasons. Oh and please be careful in the work place

[@paulford6686]

kim dad Thank you. Hope you can give it a try one day.

[@victoriadalziel5127]

Fantastic Paul will have to give this a go myself love the idea of the flat pages and no spine die ,something different.

[@hazelgalbraith2400]

EXCITED thanks Paul

[@paulford6686]

So glad you are excited

[@evelyncolon8909]

Tfs, would it be too much to ask for if you could please write these instructions? Just ran into this video. Excellent, thks again.

[@paulford6686]

Many people asked how I made my base. It was too hard to describe in writing which is why I made the video. Sorry.

[@junetimson884]

Thank you Paul...Top video👍👍💕

[@danicariaso7416]

Love your explanations/tutorials. The best part is that you don’t rush from one point to another. As I’ve mentioned before, the papers that you’ve used for the sample on the C&C show is just beautiful!!Can you tell me where you’ve obtained/purchased the beautiful blue,gold & purple hues. papers? My husband’s aunt would love those colors & I am making a rather complicated memory book for her. Can you help?

[@paulford6686]

Dani Cariaso it’s a digi kit from Nitwits called Enchanted

[@traceyedwards2290]

What tape do you use? Thank you

[@loominjeanie3391]

I should have said, I only got the dies 2 weeks ago from Create and Craft , I thought they were new releases lol. I'm off to cut the pages now. BTW if this is book 2 which is book one?

[@paulford6686]

It’s the one that’s landscape and very curvy

[@loisskiathitis8926]

Great tutorial, you explain so well. Thank you, Paul! ❤️

[@paulford6686]

Lois Skiathitis Thank you so much. Hope it makes sense as felt I was rambling a bit lol

[@loisskiathitis8926]

@@paulford6686 ramblings are good no worries it makes the video’s more fun

[@melrae1116]

Just found your video and wow what an awesome way to make these albums. I have always made a cover out of chipboard I suppose it would be no trouble to make a cover with the spine out of chipboard and put these pages right into it. Am I right or would that not work? Making albums just got so much easier all because I found your video. I had stopped making albums about 2 years ago and now I'm ready to start up again and use up some of my paper hoard!! Thank you Paul, I will be subscribing to your channel also.

[@paulford6686]

That would definitely work, In fact I have tried that in the past and as you say, used the above tutorial for the inside pages.

[@elizabetheames6210]

Thanks Paul for letting me know which nitwits you used. They are all lovely but I thought this one would be good for the "ladies!"

[@paulford6686]

You’re welcome

[@debblws1961]

What size die cutting machine is compatible to those dies?

[@paulford6686]

It has a few different sizes but you will need an A4 one for the largest.

[@catlover37]

Thank you paul for the good explanation,is it possible to add 2 or 3 more pages to it ?

[@paulford6686]

Sandra Sawdon Of course, just make and extra pair and make the spine wider

[@kidslave54]

Love the tool Paul, where can I get one?

[@paulford6686]

mary boudier I got it from the Range. Made by Xcut

[@elizabetheames6210]

Thanks Paul for your reply re: which papers you use. I think that the one I liked , which you used when making the memory book with tonic dies, was Nitwits Enchanting? Am I correct? Thanks again for your wonderful demos.

[@paulford6686]

Elizabeth Eames I did use Enchanted. The lime green and bright blue one.

[@elizabetheames6210]

Thank you so much for showing me how to make a memory book with tonic pages. You show every stage so carefully that I can't possibly go wrong! I have battled with other tonic memory books and never known hw I have gone wrong until it's too late! All your tutorials are brilliant, so thanks again. Could you also tell me which papers you used when doing the tonic memory book? They look like nitwit which I know you use a lot, and so do I as they are lovely - but I couldn't find out the ones you used.

[@paulford6686]

Elizabeth Eames thanks for the kind words. Hope the tutorial helps build your confidence. I used three Nitwits kits on albums. Which were you liking?

[@elizabethallan7610]
