Vertical Paper Bag Mini Album Series Part 1a - Building Pages

[@bettysshowtime7400]

God bless Ginger! So generous with her talents. I made a number of these albums following her tutorial.

[@danamatts7661]

I have watched your videos over and over and now can make the paper bag photo albums by myself. I have made them in many sizes, thank you thank you for this wonderful tutorial. You ROCK!!! keep them coming

[@Bethsscrapbookroom]

That is such a good idea, to pick the front and back cover sheets first. I am always scambling after I get a mini done to figure out what paper i should use for the front and back and inevitably the paper I want I already used! Thank you for the great tip. Okay, back to the videos. Beth

[@lindacook4032]

Thank you Ginger. Still following you 5 years later and your still the best.

[@071619571]

[@TheMsCraftycrafts]

Thank you !!!! Love all your videos !!! Can't wait to start making my albums !! Thanks for all your step by step and all your helpful hints !!! Love all you paper choices also !!!

[@mscindy47]

this is going to be a great series.....tfs

[@graceday7203]

Thank you so much for all of your videos. I'm working on my third album. I suppose it sounds kind of odd, but it gets a little lonely working alone. I live on a small island where no one (that I know of) is interested in making these, even though everyone thinks they are gorgeous. Listening to you while I work feels a little like I'm spending the day with a friend. (I did get to make one with my daughter last week when she visited, and I went out of state to start my first one with a friend.)

[@Forestfairy963]

I love this video tutorial and I love your style and albums! You are such an inspiration for me and so talented and creative!! Much love!

[@DottyGran247]

Brilliant...off to part 1b...TFS...Ann...x

[@TinasScrapCorner]

Great job on the way your explaining it. Love the idea of working along with you on this

[@lward65]

Hi Ginger, I love your videos. I made my first book following this tutorial and I had so much fun! Your instructions were clear and so easy to follow, thank you!

[@kimpetersen4817]

You are a wonderful teacher. Love this design. I started one of these and it is going together so easily.Although I did have a little problem, put the spine on the wrong side but it still works well, I just have more pages instead of any flip outs. The next one I will do right (I hope) L.O.L Keep your videos coming. Love them.

[@Leach727]

A new subscriber all the way from Paris, Ontario, Canada. Hello.

Truely love this method! and your tutorial is great! Thank you for sharing, I'm always learning something new! Thank you

[@TeresaRogersLittleCreations]

Woohoo...step one finished, ready for next round :)Thanks so much for offering this!!

[@keepingitsimplystampin2115]

Ginger, TFS! I have wanted to make one of these for a long time but could never figure out how the pages came together. Your video tutorial is great! Easy to follow and breaks each step down in a simple way.

[@BlaizC]

Wonderful instructional videos. TFS!

[@nywimel]

Try ironing the paper bags, they come out nice and flat with great creases.

[@LynnGalvanHippie-Chick]

Boy I did this album long ago, I came across your video again and Im gonna make this again, it was such a pretty album think I will go see if I can find graphic 45 paper its one of my favorites and I haven't used it in so long now. Time to get back to the things I love I totally appreciate the time to take to do these videos. Thank you

[@kifurban]

Thank you for a great tutorial, I live in England and can't get the bags, but I made these with card stock. I just used the measurements and two pieces of paper then added hinges and a pocket on the front. It looks amazing.:-)

[@blackitten2]

Great video. Looking forward to the next portion.

[@StaceysCreativeCorner]

I am so excited to start this today! Thanks so much for the great tutorial!

[@deeric15]

Thanks for sharing with us, can't wait to start this. Debbie

[@Sotoje73]

Awsome...thankyou...yes she replied...I'm going to try Joanns today and if no luck i will definately try yours or her suggestion....I understand about trying to find inexpensive ways...lol. Thank you so much!!

[@kyliewalker7910]

So cute!! I can’t wait to try this thank you so much for your tutorials!!

[@loisskiathitis4913]

Excellent job explaining. I'm off to see the next part. TFS!!! :-D

[@kellybardis9368]

I used to buy stuff at michaels when I lived in Florida. I now live in Montreal Canada and trust me, it's really hard trying to get name brands of scrapbooking things.

[@rebeccafarris8907]

You are just amazing! I love your work and appreciate that you share your talent with us! :)

[@janjones7299]

I love this ! going to get started on one soon. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@debmuckle5527]

awesome tutorial - cant wait to try one!

[@CarolinasCreations]

So excited for this series!

[@urszula2816]

świetny sposób i piękny efekt. dzięki za pomysł oryginalny!! będę się od Ciebie uczyć takiego wykonania.

[@sexyrose3369]

my local Michaels looked at me like I was nuts...I'm guessing the people their don't craft because noone seems to know much about any particular craft supply or what it's even used for. Thanks for the info tracms. :)

[@mysistersscrapper]

Kelly, I buy them at Michael's. They are located in the party section of the store. You could use regular paper bags, however the measurements will probably be different.

[@sullivanbydesign46]

Made an album using your tutorial!!! Once Upon a Time Vertical Paper Bag Mini

[@tracms]

Our local Michaels told one of my friends that they don't carry it. They in fact do as I've bought it loads of times and in fact that day they told my friend they didn't have any I had just checked with another friend who works there and she said they had just gotten some in that morning. Ours stocks it in the isle with the individual 12x12 sheets. :o) ~Tracie~

[@sexyrose3369]

no problem, good luck at JoAnnes, I never leave without buying way too much haha. you're welcome..

[@Songbitslaura]

Very nice tutorial ! Thank you for sharing

[@sexyrose3369]

yes, mysistersscrapper said to try JoAnnes. I expressed to her that I went around this by using shirt boxes I got from the dolllar store. Its thinner then average cardboard but thick enough that it made a great chipboard replacement. I don't need to buy all the latest greatest. I don't have that kind of money, so if I can find something compairable...I do. Hope it helps I'm excited to finish this album :)

[@donnt6734]

TY so very much for making this. I am going to give it a try....

[@barbiegonz6971]

new subbie. luv it thxs 4 sharing

[@sactowngold1]

I have seen those scissors before, I know they're excellent. Who makes them and where can I get a pair? Do adhesives stick to them though?

[@mollytigger]

When doing the flap..should it be even with the top of the bag, because when I slide it in, some of the bag shows..so my question is should it be even with the top and let some of the bottom of the bag show or even with the bottom and let some of the top of the bag show?

[@redbubble88]

Hi Ginger. What a brilliant tutorial series: I would love to make one of these albums but in the UK it is impossible to buy the paper bags. Do you have a pattern for the bags, or could I even use envelopes back to back to five the flanges(?) to add the binding and flap. Best wishes from a very frustrated scrapper! Pam

[@MaisesVIEW]

Nice Book ♥ greetings from Germany :)

[@JSmith8388]

Could you please tell me what the handheld corner rounding tool you used and where to get one of these....Enjoyed your Video......Thanks...

[@mysistersscrapper]

I am out of town right now and do not have access to the paper bags, however, in the "Getting "Started" video I shared the list of supplies and the measurements for the bags are in this video.

[@VintageFling]

Question how many videos all together wanna make sure I saved them to my favorites !!! Great job

[@samanthadevelazquez6764]

hola mysistersscraper, solo una pregunta , si ustedabla español por que no hace un video en español me encantaria, y ya soy fan suya. saludos desde sonora Mexico.

[@kellybardis9368]

i have a question: I can't find those bags that you are using around here, sparse pickings where I live so I was wondering would regular paper bags work? That's all I could find. I'm anxious to get started on this project. REAL anxious. lol

[@bozomahoney]

LOVE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS !!!

[@Ollie1217]

Hi Ginger I just loved this album, your instructions are so helpful. I liked your bone folder you used in the video, but I can't find one like it. Would you share where you purchased it from? Thanks for all the videos and albums you share.

[@mysistersscrapper]

Ollie1217 I purchased it online from scrapadabadoo.com. It is a teflon bone lifter.

[@scrapnsmile]

This was a great tutorial series! TFS :-)

[@berngirl5624]

I have access to some pinch bottom bags. They are very waxy looking but I think they have a cool vintage look. They are craft paper colored. Wondering if you have any ideas for them.Mine are 10.5 X 7.5 inches.

[@angelbabesuz1612]

love this but couldn't find the brown bags anywhere here in Scotland? :(

[@kellybardis9368]

I did use regular bags and yep, the measurements were off. I did mess up a bit but went ahead with it. I've ordered some things from the states but when they come across the border, we have to pay double tax and shipping just costs too much. That's my dilemma!

[@savannah58]

You know I'm excited LOL!!!!

[@jentreeschildre6951]

Hi there I love this album and your tutorials are great - My problem is I have bags that are the paper studio bags and are 4.5 x 3 x 8.88....I am terrible with measures can you tell me what size I would cut the papers for the bags that are this size? Thanks so much I am dying to make one :)

[@sexyrose3369]

Hello mysistersscrapper, I have a question. I went to Michaels and they couldn't tell me what chipboard was, I wandered the store thoroughly through scrapbooking section, but to no avail. Where might I purchase this? I love your series and am working on my first design now. Thank you, Blessings.

[@debra7501]

Ginger how do you keep your cardstock from cracking when you cover chipboard for a binder. I do take 2 pieces of chipboard and measure for my distances but after a couple of days it always starts to crack at the seam areas, Do you have any tips that might be helpful? Thanks

[@mysistersscrapper]

It already is... However there is a Part 1b. First and then part 2. Is series was uploaded a while back.

[@candleladydkc]

Thanks for this tutorial!

[@mysistersscrapper]

Well, you need to start with a good paper trimmer, adhesive, a scoring boad, and, a bone folder. And of course paper!

[@Sotoje73]

Can someone share where to get the chipboard...I can't find anywhere at a store...please?

[@mztamarad]

hello, love your crafts! i have a question I'm looking to purchase chipboard what thickness do I need for this album?

[@mysistersscrapper]

I use medium weight chipboard. I buy it from Amazon. The brand is Grafix.

[@mztamarad]

+My Sisters Scrapper thank you!!

[@yahairacasimiro2318]

is there a link to where i can find this specific size of brown paper bags?

[@cocolovescrafts]

thank you for sharing!!!!

[@zakysonline1537]

you make beautiful albums, I love them!!.. I would like to know if you sell them and How much does it cost this album for example?

[@barkers0609]

I made a Christmas one and am going to put it in a little shop in town. Try to get $35 for it!

[@barkers0609]

I love this! I made a Christmas one. I can show you the little video I made of it if you tell me where to post it!

[@mysistersscrapper]

You can send it to my email.... [e-mail] ... Thanks!

[@barkers0609]

It says it's too long to send by email.

[@mysistersscrapper]

+Shirley Barker hmmmm... Do you have a you tube channel??

[@barkers0609]

+My Sisters Scrapper yes I didn't think of that as I don't really use it. there's only 2 things uploaded to it but I am working on uploading the video. it sure takes long to upload a 2 minute video. lol

[@mysistersscrapper]

+Shirley Barker lol! Yes it does!!

[@anagloria33]

Bellísimo, graciasssssssss

[@gorzeneesje]

Hi when wil part 2 of the vertical album be on youtube?

[@starbuono3333]

could you please tell me where to purchase a scoring board ? thank you and thanks for this very interesting tutorial ! you are truly talented !

[@mysistersscrapper]

You can order one online from Amazon.com or you can check your local Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

[@dawnhanson6978]

+z

[@Sotoje73]

Did anyone answer you on this question...I have the same problem..can't find the chipboard :(

[@LenaJohansenMUA]

It is called : Fiskars; Decorative Corner Punch; Scallop. But you need to google it to know where to buy. I know where to buy it here in norway, but i am petty sure you dont want to order from here.. lol

[@MsNurse99]

I read that you could use cereal boxes instead of chipboard .

[@waguilar0810]

Great video. Where is your bone folder from?

[@mysistersscrapper]

I purchased it online from scrapadabadoocom. It is a Teflon bone lifter

[@waguilar0810]

Thank you so much.

[@myboylyrik]

I can't find the other videos to go with this. Could you please provide me with links. Thanks. I love your videos. TFS

[@mysistersscrapper]

Mary, if you go to my channel and do a search for "Vertical Paper Bag Mini Album Tutorial Series" they should all come up. There was a Part 1a and then Part 1b, then Part 2, etc...

[@parsith7620]

Found the "Celebrate It" bags at Michael's in 4.7 X 2.78 X 8.9 are these OK?

[@CodyDoll]

Could we score with our paper trimmer? I don't have a scoring board.

[@mysistersscrapper]

Sure

[@maddiescreations]

I have a question about the bone folder. Is is 5 1/4" x 5/8" x 1/4"..... or is it 6 1/4" x 3/4" x 3/8"? I can see the angle & thickness of the second one that I listed here, but there's only a flat picture of the first one I listed. Will you help me please? Thanks! Sharon

[@mysistersscrapper]

I purchased mine a few years ago and have no idea about the dimensions. I purchased it online at scrapadabadoocom.com. I actually purchased the Teflon Bone Lifter not the actual bone folder.

[@maddiescreations]

Thank you Ginger!

[@dianne20010]

My Sisters Scrapper where you get your paper bags from

[@mysistersscrapper]

I buy the paper bags at Michaels. They are the Celebrate It brand. You can find them in the Party section at your local Michaels store.

[@JSmith8388]

Ok....Part One done with the Pages attached to the Bags....The Super Easy part was not easy for me with the Tape. Once the Tape grabs Hold of the bag it Sticks and Sticks well so there is no room for ajustment. I am making this for My # 1 Sister-In-Law........

[@luv3pugs]

You could use a little glue on top of the score tape to give you a little time to adjust.

[@jennyrodriguez9784]

Hi, I would like to know how much it cost and where can I buy your albums? Is awesome!!!! ;)

[@trish3724]

your the best

[@sherylreal3945]

Are there written directions for this album anywhere?

[@mysistersscrapper]

Sorry but I do not do written instructions. I list all of the measurements in the description box of each video.

[@SusanMJensen]

nice put video Thanks

[@missNYcheesecake]

How many inches are the paperbags..? I'm German and I unfortunately didn't unterstand the complete size of the bags :-) Thanks! By the way: great job! The album is amazing!!

[@ARTSOUL2012]

I loved

[@cheragonzales7973]

Hello Ginger! I want to make a mini album as well! I was wondering if I could use any kind of bags or does it have to be the one that you are using? I got mines from Walmart out of the celebration department. Are there any alternations I need to know to make the exact one that you had just demonstrated?

[@mysistersscrapper]

The only adjustment would be the measurements. You will need to adjust those to the size of the bags you are using.

[@barbarawiley1149]

Ho can I ajust the measurement if I use lunch bags?

[@mysistersscrapper]

Barbara Wiley you will need to measure your bags and then make the flaps for the bags 1/4 inch shorter than the height of your bags. When you cut your design paper it will need to measure 1/4 inch smaller than your bags and flaps.

[@dianne20010]

Barbara Wiley where she get here smaller paper bags from

[@mysistersscrapper]

I purchase the bags at Michaels. They are located in the Party section.

[@wasanthirenuka5426]

From one teacher to the next, let me say you are an excellent instructor! Very concise, not. Lot of needless conversation, strictly on task all the time. Your instructions Re very easy to follow. You anticipate what the viewer might ask and include it in the instructions.
