"Let's goof around with papers"... I love it!!!

[@daledevuvvy]

Amen to making your own embellishments! FUN! I make yours all the time. You’re great!

[@juneribbons5196]

Love these tiny file folders. I love coming to your craft room and watching you craft. Having you teach me things that I haven't thought of yet. For you it must be like having the joy of a bunch of us over for coffee and crafts without having the big cleanup after. Lol

[@hodgepodgecottage2674]

Love these Pam! I love that you utilize items we have around the house in your videos~file folders, index cards, old bed sheets, magazines, etc! Your Creativity gives New Life and Purpose! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are so welcome!

[@moniquebexplorer8237]

What a great tutorial. I like your imaginative creations and that we don't always have to have a specific digi kit. I made this mini file folder with a double thickness of brown shopping bag,decorated the outside with decorative paper,added a small tablet on the inside, and folded the pocket in place and added journaling cards. I'm looking forward to making a whole lot more. What fun. TFS. Stay safe and be healthy.

[@ScaryCheri]

Love these. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@gracecaron773]

Made 2 right away as finishing touch for latest journal. Easy and super cute. Thanks so much!

[@YehowahDaughter]

I made my very 1st file folder today, watching your video. Thank you so much...

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Love this simple idea. So effective.

[@JP-xp6pf]

Put the lime in the coconut... is where my mind went when Pam said, "put the lined side on the inside" 😎 🍹🎶

[@marlenejones6266]

I made some and put the accordion pieces on the sides. Just did 2 folds. Lots of fun. Love these. Ya made me smile today

[@debralynn6641]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT AND TIME FOR ALL OF US IN KZbin LAND... IT IS A SUPER DUPER GOOD TIME WATCH YOU CREATE... THANKS AGAIN... MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS... FROM THE BEAUTIFUL PACIFIC NORTHWEST OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...

[@cjdenny5728]

Happy Monday. I hear your lil feathered friend. Terrific video on your mini file folders.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi CJ Denny! That's awesome! And Holly waves a wing hello to you! :)

[@artfulyama9071]

Love this. You show how one doesn’t need a special punch to make tabs for a mini file folder, which encourages me to not spend unnecessarily on paper punches that aren’t versatile (I’m always in a “no spend” mode or try to be LOL). Great video! But I am partial to file folder crafts, heh heh! TFS!

[@capturingmagicalmoments392]

I love your videos!!!! You are such a funny genuine down to earth go with the flow person, and always LOVE watching your videos... Your so creative and talented ! Thank you

[@barbaranoble9748]

Hi Pam! I love these mini file folders. So cute! You never cease to amaze me! You make me smile on everyting you do for us! Tyfs! Stay safe!❤

[@pattiehartmann8771]

Word, dizzy, word, dizzy....whew what a whirlwind. I am now going to lay down😋😋😋 Nice project Pam..have a great day!

[@isabelborrero-gonzalez3947]

I love these, Pam! I need to make some!

[@Chellees]

I Absolutely Adore your channel!! You are so much fun!! I love the way you use things we can find around the house!! 😊❤️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I'm so glad!

[@arizonamonarch]

OMGosh, I just love these!!! I don't want to go to work! I want to stay home and make a bunch of these!! Thank you Pam!! I love your podcasts too.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Spry grl! Happy dance! :) Pam :) !!

[@terricarlson1182]

Just whipped up two of my own....awesome, awesome! Now I have to get ready for work. Drat, work gets in the way of my fun crafting! TFS. So many possibilities!!

[@teritalley3463]

I just love some of your videos.

[@senyagwynn8095]

I love these so much!! I hope I have time to make these tomorrow!

[@barbsjournalcreation1392]

These are great. Love your videos, they always have such fresh ideas. And they are usually simple with simple items. Thank you.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Barbara Knotts! I really appreciate your input! :)

[@susiescraftroomandstudio]

I LOVE these! Blessings and Hugs 🤗

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Love these tiny file folders!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Angela Thoma! Happy you like it! :) Pam :) !!

[@chewillowravenlaura6144]

so glad I popped onto this today ...just in time , I just took out a bunch of file folders our of my closet and was wondering what to do with them ...so I thought maybe I'll go find Pam and see what she's up to today ...and BAM! ,you're doing file folders and index cards..great minds!! SO thank you for these ideas ;)

[@Sheamarie]

Great idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thanks for watching!

[@joycedugas4550]

Very Nice 👌, Pam!

[@Sheila6006]

I’ve been watching your videos for sometime I decided to watch some older ones who do such a good job on your videos Chris everybody tells me that this particular video that I’m watching is what I want to make several of these so I’m so glad you have a video on it I was looking through some old ones that have to see it inside oh cool I’ll watch that but I watched all the other ones I watch every video you put out

[@lalagamma4452]

I love seeing hand made embellishments also! These are so adorable!! Thank you for sharing!! 🌻💜🦋💙🐞💚🐝

[@artzyyma]

Oh, moving my craft stuff, I found colored index cards. Now, I know what I'll be using them for! Thank you!

[@kcueva313]

Oh very cool idea TFS 👍🏻

[@viviansmith8036]

LOL "there's a lot of moving parts in this craft room and apparently I'm one of them because I run around and move stuff and hide it for myself on a daily basis " I was rolling on the floor laughing because that is so me. That's exactly what I do.

[@angelakm6753]

Lovely ideas Pam. I have solver the moving tools problem - I have a magnetic strip on the shelf next to my work area, so as long as I put the tool straight back on the magnet, it's not lost!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Brilliant idea Angela! :)

[@darlatoman8654]

Very cool video. This is another easy one for me. Thank you.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Great to hear!

[@saramedina8396]

First time here. I love the idea so I can use all my unused index cards.

[@donnamatoi5256]

Hi Pam! I’m trying to catch up! These are so clever and cute!❤️

[@GeoffsSousChef]

these are beeeeyootiful

[@lindastilson5130]

Nice idea.

[@nancybeebe7622]

Love it

[@candydean4577]

But but you forgot the outside pocket on the last one.....he heheheh you are amazing! Thank you for the Inspiration!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MissGroves]

If you have trouble using small scissors for the curved part, I use nail scissors as they already have a nice curve and small blades. It's how I make all my tabs for years without a punch

[@ThePaperOutpost]

What a super tip!! Thanks for sharing!!! :)

[@gurkmeja2021]

What fun cute little things. Great idea, Pam! Hope you're having a lovely week. /Ditte

[@judyshandmadecreations]

Hi Pam! I need to make some file folders! tfs!

Pam, i finally got my first journal done!🥵. I know you put a peice of paper in the front that has directions, or ideas on how to use a junk journal, and what it is. Where can I find one or did you make it up? I cant do that kind of writing....😫. If you could share where to get a printable, i would so appreciate it! My journal doesn’t close well, it lays on its back all spread out. Its beautiful 🥰. She’s 7 1/2 “ gator mouth. Im not quite done. I have to stick with stickers and inking . Ill try to send a pic on facebook....when she’s completed

[@heatherspaulding7731]

I wish you had longer videos!! I watch and rewatch all your stuff. I LOVE your ideas! I would like to see you work on some of those journals. Maybe a series for one, start to finish. I torment myself over placement, you have helped me let go a little. I need more!!

[@danidelyon7093]

It’s Aug2021 and I am just now getting obsessed with file folders and index cards. Lol

[@fiberfancies]

So fun! I cut 2 different sized folders from a recycled UPS envelope and covered with pretty papers. Only I made an error and the front of my second one has the paper upside down! ooops. I may have to re-cover it, or just add embellishments. Thanks, Pam!

[@kimberlycollins7650]

I used my We R Memory Envelope maker for tabs on my index cards! It worked great! Just a little hint if anyone has it!!! Thank you these are sooooo adorable!!!

[@JellicleKat]

Those are adorable, I love the way you break things down and make them so easy for us. Thank you for that. 😊

I love your videos. They’ve helped me a lot especially as a newbie. Anyone can make these! Thank you for sharing your creative processes with us!! Love the file tabs as a template!

What a great idea for those file folder dividers. I've always passed them up because I didn't know quite what I would use them for.

[@katherinelarini8514]

These folders are super cute and I love that you just used simple materials. I have noticed that the index cards are like paper and not like a frisbee, lol Thanks for these inspirations and I hope your having a awesome crafty week.

If you only have one 😆😅🤣. You make me laugh so much. Thanks for the good time and tutorials.

hey Pam got a question I like to make mix media journals nothing all matches is that ok.They are still beautiful to me.

I am so excited for you Michelle! There are no rules!! Nothing has to match! Ever! :) And its awesome!! I call it eclectic! :) It has its own unique charm!! :) It is a style unto itself! Have an unmatched blast!! :)

I don’t think I will buy ink. I don’t like the look.. I also won’t be ripping. I have just finished my first journal. It’s heading to Australia.

[@mousepudding]

Pam, you would have been super proud of me today. I tried sewing (I can sew a button back on a shirt but that's about it) a face mask on an actual sewing machine. Complete disaster pants! The elastic loops are so tight they pull my ears out & I look quite Dumboesque in my new mask. And the stitching? Straight lines are for amateurs! I might not get a date, but at least I'm doing my part, right?

[@annefernstrom9418]

I love your channel !! You have such fun ideas that are simplistic and artistic. I've been an enthusiastic subscriber and I look forward to your videos. Thank you for another fun project for my junk journals. Take care 😊

[@karenstewart8818]

I had to interrupt my watching of this video this morning to go to work (boo hiss), but I couldn't get these little guys out of my mind. I don't paper craft, but who doesn't have a file folder/index cards and with a search around the house, some bits and pieces one could use to make one. I know I have some ladies cloth hankies I could even use! I can see these in my pocketbook to corral my ATM slips and other small papery things I keep in there...my med list-- oh hey! one could create a 'red cross' one to include all your emergency medical data in case of an accident somewhere. If I'm not careful, I could fall into the paper crafting rabbit hole!

[@khallo151]

You make me smile so much. I’ve been sick with long Covid for a very long time and spend a huge amount of my days in bed. Your happiness is infectious and really makes me feel like creating. Thank you ❤

[@nansnook3920]

Pam I just love love your videos. Not only can one learn different ideas but u are hilarious & crack me up. The way you talk 2 the camera & the video world is the way I talk 2 myself while I craft! Brilliant, you go girl...

[@jennifergrillofoster]

I love watching your videos! Please don't edit out the humanness of them ever!

[@bette-annflood835]

Thanks for the spritz tip. Mine hasn't been a real good pad since I bought it. So I think I will give that a try.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I spritz probably once every week or so :)

[@janinewoodhull3611]

I never liked to fussy cut either, probably because I wasn't very good at it. However, I recently did a bunch of it, and now enjoy it. I think by doing it more, I got a little better at it. But, I can relate. Another great video, Pam!

[@borleyboo5613]

Lovely. I shall definitely be making these. It’s strange how you refer to your journals as ‘she’. I refer to mine (and most things like plants etc) as ‘he’.

[@lindadeconcini3678]

Love your Fun Facts. And all the other information in your videos. If a need a Happy Time all I need to do is go to your KZbin channel. Lol with a big hug.
