Christmas Pocket Album Tutorials

They're finally finished!!  I've created a 2 part tutorial for you all on how to create this fun Christmas Pocket Album.  Creating the video wasn't hard (although it did take some time) - the hardest part was getting the videos uploaded!  My wifi kept messing up and finally after many attempts at uploading it myself, I finally had to ask the expert - my husband!  (He's a computer geek!  And I'm SO glad he is!)  When he works on a computer or phone, things just magically seem to work.

So, finally, the tutorials are ready for you to see!  Enjoy!

Part 1 - Gathering supplies and cutting all the pieces




Part 2 - Putting it all together

Sample Pocket Album

I created this pocket album using the International Bazaar Designer Paper.

Get all the details for this album on my gallery on Splitcoaststampers.

Happy Christmas crafting!

Christmas Pocket Album

While on my retreat, I learned how to create this adorable book and now I want to show you how too!  

We'll be scoring and folding a sheet of 12" X 24" paper to create the base of the book and then we'll add designer paper, ribbons and embellishments to create this Christmas keepsake!  We'll also create a tag to fit inside each of the 6 pockets.  The tags can be used to journal or use them as an extra space for more pictures.

The cost is $25 or FREE with your purchase of $30 or more.

Reserve your spot today!  There are two times to choose from (click the time and RSVP).

Friday, November 30th - 6pm until 9pm

Saturday, December 1st - 10am until 1pm

Happy Stamping & Creating!

Star Book

I'm a huge fan of making cute little mini books - they're quick, simple, cute and make great gifts.  All you do once you've created the book is add your journaling and pictures.

If you'd like to watch the youtube video on how to make your own, click here.

 I've made so many of these little star books, I've lost count.  I used to make and sell these in craft shows and now I enjoy teaching others how to make them!

With this Star Book, I used the NEW Designer Series Paper - Summer Smooches.  This paper will be in the new 2012-2013 Annual Catalog that comes out on June 1st!  (I can't wait!!  I love it when the new catalog comes out!)

To open the book, you untie the ribbon and open so the front and back covers are touching.  (Here is the book half open.)

 

Here's what the book looks like when it's completely opened.

 

Happy Stamping and Creating!
