Tutorial Scrapbook Mini Album Folder sin Papel DecoradoScrapbooking Fcil Luisa PaperCrafts

Tutorial Scrapbook Mini Album Folder sin Papel DecoradoScrapbooking Fcil Luisa PaperCrafts
Hello! How are you? In today's video we will make a mini album folder without scrapbook paper. We are going to need: cardstock, in this case I am using letter size, washi tape or decorative tape, ruler, cutter, scissors, glue and whatever you want for decoration. Optional: punch, eyelets, elastic ribbon and contact paper. First: Cut the cardstock in half Let's join the two pieces with washi tape, I'm leaving a quarter of an inch of space.

First I will hold them to prevent them from moving. Remove a little bit of the tape adhesive before you paste it to avoid mistreat the cardboard when taking the tape off Be sure to use a tape with good glue to join the pieces, If you do not have it you can apply glue before or use strips of cardstock Paste washi tape on both sides. This way we will have a more resistant and flexible spine. Take another sheet of cardstock cut it a little narrower than the base.

Set it horizontally and make a mark in the middle, starting from that mark we measure an inch to the right and another to the left. In vertical we measured a half of an inch. Join the lines and cut, this will be the entrance of the pocket. To give more view round the corners.

Do not forget to erase the pencil lines. To stick the pocket to the base, cut two strips of an inch by the width of the pocket. Fold them in half, cut the corners diagonally. Put one on the top and the other on the bottom aligning the edges well.

Before I paste it I will put washi tape on the 4 edges. I recommend doing this to protect your album, if you are not going to use paper contact. As I rounded the corners I also have to do it on the washi tape. Make cuts like this on the corners and start to fold.

I will do the same on the three remaining edges The corners will be thicker and that is okay so they do not get damage so fast. I'm going to cut another piece of cardstock, As you see I do not measure I just make a mark with the pencil where I will cut. I will draw lines half of an inch away from the left and right edges. On these lines I will draw 3 more with a separation of 2 inches between each one.

It's going to look like this. Let's make a cut down the line we draw and another on the line. These will be the slots where we will insert tags. Detach the remnants.

Put washi tape right at the edge of the slots to prevent it from being opened further. I also added washi tape up and down, Put adhesive only on the edges and stick on the pocket. This part will go on this side. I will not stick it yet, I'll do the left part first.

Take another cardstock and fold it in half. I make a mark with the pencil where I am going to cut. It's going to be like this and from this side I will make a pocket as we did with the first one. Cut two strips of cardstock, fold them in half, cut the corners diagonally.

I measure the center and from there I measure one inch to the left and another to the right. Half of an inch down and cut. Stick the strips of cardstock to the sides. If you don't want to open this part you can make the pocket by placing the strips of cardboard up and down and cutting the left side.

Here I have my front cover, only with some stickers that I framed with white gel pen. I will apply contact paper to protect it. I round the corners, I make cuts and fold, just as we did with the washi tape. For the tags I will use scraps of cardstock, I put marks where I'm going to cut and make sure they slip through the slots.

To add the elastic ribbon I will use my Crop A Dile, The perforations are two centimeters away from the edge. To secure the tips I will use eyelets, if you do not have it, you can glue them with silicone or sew them by hand. I'm using double-sided tape to stick my pockets to the base, especially on the side where the contact paper is, but where there's not contact paper I will use white glue If you did not add contact paper you can use white glue on everything. You could also use a clamp or ribbon to close.

My project is finished As you see I did not use decorated paper, only stickers, washi tape and my white gel pen, I wanted to do it because I got comments where some of you tell me that it is difficult to get scrapbook paper. Mandalas would also be beautiful in the corners. I did not measure the big labels I just made marks with the pencil and cut. This is a very simple mini album or folder that I hope will inspire you.

Tutorial Scrapbook Album Grande hecho con Folders Muy FcilScrapbooking Luisa PaperCrafts

Tutorial Scrapbook Album
Hello! How are you? Today we will make an album using file folders We need 3 file folders Any design of file folder works I have an extra one and I will use white cardstock because I do not have in the color of the folder. The pattern paper is from the DCWV of the Pocket Blossom Collection I will also use a ribbon for closing and the usual basic materials. First, cut one folder in half, to not measure fold in half and just press the top a bit to make a mark and cut keep them aside Take the second folder and we are going to cut on this middle line, so each piece will have a hinge Fold the hinges Take the third folder that will be the base. Place one of the pieces I saw that it exceeded the central edge of the base folder.

So I decided to cut the hinge and make another one. This is for personal preference you can leave it like that. Now I'm going to stick it on the base. Put adhesive on the hinge Take care not to stick it on the fold line.

Glue the second piece aligning it well. You can glue the pattern paper leaving a border around or as I will, covering the base completely. Either way we are going to leave the fold lines free. Put the adhesive paste the pattern paper flip it over and cut with a x-acto knife or scissors I'll do the same with rest of the pages Before lining the cover and back cover I will attach ribbon using masking tape.

Now we can paste the pattern paper, leaving free the lines marked to fold that the folders bring. It is going to look like this I had already glued the pieces we had reserved, but I made a mistake. Cut the two pieces along the middle line. Glue the pattern paper I will do it completely leaving the fold line free.

I will also put some pattern paper in the back. With these four pieces we will make a waterfall. Apply glue on the hinge and stick it to the base. First the shortest pieces and then the long ones.

Align well with the edge of the hinge of the previous piece. I take the fourth folder and I'll cut it over the line by which it's folded. Now I will cut two pieces of 5 by 7 inches. We will paste them in this part but before stick pattern paper on them For the inside of the back cover We will use the second part of the folder.

Cut it in half Remove one of the lines to fold. Fold the remaining tab. Cut the corners of that tab diagonally. I'll make a diagonal cut, about 4 inches from the fold and 2 inches from the bottom edge.

I'll stick the pattern paper on it, but this time leaving a border around it. Draw the silhouette with the pencil, cut and paste To glue it to the base, put glue on the tab and on the bottom edge. With the other half, we'll make a drop-down First cut one of the lines to fold and cut the width to 5 inches. Cut the corners diagonally and fold the tab.

Cut another piece of 5 by 7 inches and glue the decorated paper. Apply glue to the tab and glue it on the back of the other piece. Stick it on the folder and it's ready. Now cut 4 pieces of 5 by 8 1/2 inches and make score lines at 1 1/2 inches.

Fold them Glue the pattern paper on the four pieces only on one side. I left the back of the flap blank to write the story. I will also paste a card to give it more interaction. Put a thin line of glue on the bottom and a little bit on the sides.

I will do the same with the other pieces. I will place them in this way. I will put the adhesive in only three parts. We can put more cards on this side and here too.

Now let's cover the spine I will do it with a strip of cardstock of 2 inches wide you can use washi tape or fabric Now it's ready to decorate The decoration on the cover is flat so I can apply a layer of decoupage glue to protect it. The waterfall is secured with a mini clip. Perfectly fit 6" by 4" or 15 cm by 10 cm photographs. In the back you can place more photos or just to write the story.

The heart only has adhesive on one side to be able to hook the photograph. I put phrases on the tabs of the waterfall. On the next page you can put a large photo or two of regular size. On the following pages I added more cards.

Another page with enough space for large photos. In the pocket you can paste a photo of 4" by 4" or 10 cm by 10 cm. The tag measures 8" by 10" And finally the drop-down.

Tutorial Minilbum Scrapbook Hecho con FoldersLuisa PaperCrafts

Tutorial Minilbum Scrapbook
Hello! How are you? In today's video we will make a mini album using two file folders. You can use any folder design you have. I will use this one that has the tab below and is for A4 papers. First we are going to fold the back aligning the edge with the fold to have the tab on the outside.

Now fold the front part aligning with the fold from below. I will leave the smaller part as the cover. Make a line to fold at 9 inches. We will make pockets to the pages Do the same with the second folder.

We're going to have a M-shape but we're going to close it. Put adhesive on only two sides to make another pocket on the top. Let's put the two file folders together. Apply glue on three sides.

Glue them. We have another pocket. Before closing the small pockets, stick the pattern paper. You can leave the tabs simple or cover them with the decorated paper.

I pasted the scrapbook paper only on the visible parts. Now, close the pockets. I'm going to put ribbon for the closing, I'm sticking it with glue dots. Put the pattern paper on top.

I do not recommend adding more folders because as you see, the bottom is wider by the pockets unless you put them without pockets. To cover the spine I have a piece of cardstock 2 inches wide and I'll cut it to the same length as the album. I'll undulate the paper a little. Let's put adhesive on the edges, I'm measuring as 2 centimeters from the edges to know where to put the glue.

I put the mini album aligning the edge with the marks that I made with the pencil stick the other part of the cardstock, you can also use fabric. As you can see on there's more space on top than on the bottom. I'm going to pass the bone folder to shape it. Now I will cut cardstock to make the tags.

Optional - we can add flaps to the pages that have the pocket on the top. I have this piece that I cut of the same measure as the tags. Just make a score line at half of an inch Cut the length a bit if desired, cut diagonally the corners of the tab. Put pattern paper Apply glue on the back of the tab.

Insert the tab into the pocket and paste. You can even add one more flap to the other side of the page. The mini album is ready to decorate. I just added a big card on the cover.

The spine looks a bit shiny because I applied a layer of decoupage glue. My cover is flat so I can also apply that glue to protect it. I added phrase cards from the same collection of papers. On the pages with flap the cards help me to hold them.

The large pockets are not closed in case you want to put some other tag. You can use this mini as a traveler album and place maps, tickets, passes, etc. Into the pockets. You can place wallet sized photos, even regular size.

Tutorial Mini Album Scrapbook con Sobres y Encuadernacin de LazoScrapbooking Luisa PaperCrafts

Tutorial Mini Album
Hi guys! How are you? Today we will make an envelope mini album with ribbon-bound. I'm going to make my own envelopes but you can buy them the size of your preference. I'll start by cutting 6 pieces of cardstock to 8 1/2" by 8 1/2" Following the instructions in my Envelope Punch Board For this paper size I need to make my first punch at 4 1/8 " I do not stop at this step because I already have a video explaining how to use this board. Link in the information box.

Fold Put adhesive to close the bottom of the envelope Already having my 6 envelopes I am going to measure the high, In my case it measures 5 1/4 " I'm going to cut 3 strips of 5 1/4" by 2" for the binding. Fold in half at 1 inch Let's take the envelopes two at a time and place them this way. These strips are going to be stuck here, but first I'll make a small pencil mark at 1/2" And I will cut diagonally the 4 corners. Put adhesive on that half of the cropped corners and stick it on the back of the envelope.

Do the same on the other side. Repeat these same steps to join the other envelopes. I will mark a line just at the edge of the envelope and the strip of the bound to be able to fold. Make two holes This one will be my template for the other two.

Now let's make the cover, I have a letter size cardstock, I'm going to cut it about 5 millimeters higher than the envelope. I'm going to put some marks where I have to make lines to bend. I match those marks with the slots in my board and score. Now the part of the spine I will measure the depth or thickness, In my case it measures 3/8 " it will depend on the number of envelopes you are going to use.

I count 3/8" and make the line. Now I have to make another line to close, count 1/2" inch and score. Half of an inch because that's what the part of the binding is. Fold I will use one of the envelopes as a template to make the perforations on the cover.

Now we need to cut the other part of the cover. I use a piece of card stock I cut it at the same height. Before I glue this part I will add a design. I will hold the die with washi tape To prevent it from moving and make a partial cut, I'm only interested in the design part so I put acrylic B.

Only on that part. With the X-acto knife I make cuts at the ends to detach the top. I will also measure half an inch and cut those corners diagonally. Apply adhesive.

Glue it Now I will make other score lines to close, I make my first line, measure, in my case 3/8" which is what the spine measures and I re-score The first line make it leaving a space from where the envelopes end. Fold this will be like this Now I'm going to make the cards. I place the letter-size cardstock vertically, cut at 5 " and fold in half at 5 1/2" I'll make 5 more and start decorating. To close the envelopes I cut these labels.

You can use velcro or just leave them like that. I will use repositionable glue dots. Put eyelets to secure the perforations of the cover. You can also put it in the perforations of the envelopes.

I insert the ribbon. I do double knot and then the bow. I put magnets to close. Here I have it ready, The phrase says perfectly imperfect and loved.

I wanted to add this cardboard sticker To give more firmness to this part because it is the one that is being pulled to open. To the envelopes I only sticked a phrase. Cards have decorated paper on front and back side. In the inside I left space to write.

The back of the envelopes is simple, you know that to have a better decoration we need the photographs. If you like this video please give me a Like, share it, and subscribe.

Scrapbooking Tutorial #7 Oops - Ways to Fix Mistakes on Scrapbook Layouts

Scrapbooking Tutorial #7 Oops - Ways to Fix Mistakes on Scrapbook Layouts
Oops! Oops! Oops!!! Hi!  I'm Jennifer Neumann and
I love traditional scrapbooking, but sometimes, I wish it
came with an undo button! Scrapbooking is the best way to capture memories and make them last a lifetime But how do you get started
without spending a fortune? Pages for the Ages is here to help you out! Scrapbooking is a great way to preserve our favorite photos and memories, but let's face it - Traditional scrapbooking is not a hobby
for the perfectionist. When we're working with our hands and raw materials such as
paper and scissors, sometimes things will go wrong. What are we to do with these
little blemishes on our scrapbook pages? I suggest, rather than throwing out your entire layout and having to start over with new materials and extra time that you should work with
what you have. Um, in today's tutorial I'm
going to cover 3 situations where there was a small blemish
on my page and talk about how I tried to
fix that blemish as best I could.

What should you do if you
have a stray mark on your page? Here is a live example
of that problem. I've been working on this page
for my little sister. Here we have a photo of us when we were younger in Mexico and on this page I've
been trying to bring out a lot of colors such as
red and green which are on the Mexican flag. The last touch I had to
do on this page...

Before it was complete was to write the word "Sisters" down here and the Spanish word for
"sisters" at the top - Hermanas. Well, I was just about complete
with this project when SOMEONE who shall remain
nameless, bumped my arm and caused me to create
this stray mark. So, I'm going to bring you closer and we're going to examine the damage. Now, what can I do to
fix this problem? Here are two suggestions.

Number one, you could add
an additional layer on top... Of the word "Hermanas"
and just start anew. So, I've used the tearing technique a lot on this page and
I would find a complementing color such as this pastel orange
which brings out the orange here and I would put this on top. Now, this fix would take
a little bit of time because I like symmetry and I
would want to do the same thing for the word sisters down here.

Another option is to
get the matching paper and put pretty much a
Band-Aid on there. Now, I am fortunate enough to have a piece of that
yellow and white speckled paper which I used for the
picture frame. So, I'm going to add
another layer of this to cover up the mistake. Now, if I decide to add
a HUGE rectangle on top of the word Hermanas and
start over, that's fine.

However, the bigger the piece
you use, the more distinct the lines will be
for that new layer. So, with that in mind
I figure, use the smallest piece possible to
cover up your mistake. So, to do that, I'm
just going to put down 1 piece of adhesive and cut out a very small block just to cover the stray mark. So, no matter what, it will be visible that
there was a mistake, but we move on and we
fix it as best we can.

What can you do when you've
made a mistake cropping your photo? Now, many of you out there
probably use the Creative Memories Custom Cutting System. If you don't,
I recommend it. It's a basic tool
every Scrapbooker should have. The Creative Memories Cutting System...

Is basically, a series of shapes. You can get circles, ovals
uh... Hearts, anything you want and you buy the Creative Memories blade which fits into the shape and then allows you to cut
photos and paper into those shapes. Now, one of the biggest mistakes that I make with this system is I will not have the peg correctly inserted into the shape.

If you only have one peg
in the shape, this is what happens. I now have a HUUUUGE gash
on my photo rather than the nice cut line and it's not even on the right
place for the circle. So, how do I deal with this problem? There are basically two ways. Either, number one, I can try to re-crop the photo or number two, I can try to
cover up my mistake.

So, if I'm going to re-crop the photo there are a couple of options. I can set this shape
back down maybe in a new position and
try cutting it - making sure that I
don't make the same mistaske. And....It looks like
that would be possible in this situation. I've just moved the shape
slightly over.

Or, I happen to be
using the blue blade which cuts furthest from
the shape so I. Could use a different colored blade such as the red one
which will cut, um, closest to the shape. It may not be the
circle I desired, but it will cover up the mistake
that I made. Let's say that you've
cropped your photo in such a way that
it was unavoidable getting rid of this gash.

Well, you can always try
to cover up that mistake. For instance, here I've added
a nice background piece of paper and
a paper photo mat and on top of that gash I'm just going to add
this beautiful paper flower. Paper embellishments or stickers would be good ways to
cover up that mistake. It's not detracting
from the photo, but in fact, it's actually
adding a little bit of color.

Um, another idea is rather than making your photo
the top layer, make it the bottom layer. Instead of having this gash
be on top, I'm going to add a
picture frame and cover that up. That last "oops" sitatuion
we're going to talk about deals with journaling. Now, writing down your experiences is a great way to communicate
to future generations what inspired you to
make your scrapbook pages.

Unfortunately, a lot of errors can occur when
journaling by hand. A lot of these mistakes can be avoided by
simply planning ahead of time and writing a rough draft. Seasoned scrapbookers
such as myself tend to skip this step. We think that we can
get it perfect on the 1st try.

Well, that hasn't always
worked out in my favor and as a result, I've ended up spending MORE time
trying to fix the problem. So, the lesson is planning goes a long way
especially with journaling! You are looking at my premade scrapbook page
called "Proposal" which you can find
at my online shop: Pages4theages.Artfire.Com . On this page we have a
beautiful diamond ring and on that ring is a
little journaling tag. It's supposed to be
like a price tag on the ring and there's a place for you to write the date, location, and how your proposal happened.

So, on this tag I've purposefully written
in different thicknesses and I've not had very
even lettering. So, what would I do
if I wanted to fix this. Honestly, the best situation
at this point would be to just
replace the jounraling tag with a new one. Now, if I didn't have the materials to cover this up and
add a new journaling tag, here is another idea.

Here you can see I've created a whole new look on this tag by
using a technique I call... Ransome Note Writing. Basically, all you have to do is write down the words
that you intend to use... For your jounraling
on different sheets of paper.

So, if the sentences was: "Jake popped the question..." - Every other word would
go on the different sheets of paper. Then, you cut out those
little strips and you simply paste them down. So, with this method I've covered up my mistakes and added a lot of
dimension to my journaling tag. Thanks for joining us for another Pages for the Ages Tutorial! We look forward to seeing you every Tuesday! (Music).

Scrapbooking BasicsHow to Add Text to Your Scrapbook

Scrapbooking BasicsHow to Add Text to Your Scrapbook
Hi. Welcome back to Expert Village "Arts and
Crafts and Everything fun". And today my guest, Sonya, from The Crop Circle, is going to teach
us how to scrapbook. So, what is the next step that we need to do? Well, the next step,
Grace, is that you really want to make sure that you include text in your scrapbook.

You
need to make sure that you are writing the names of the people involved. You want to
capture the story, and you want to have it titled something fun and catchy that you can
really capture attention with. So, I've got an example here of a way that I incorporated
journaling into my scrapbook. This was a very significant period in my family's history,
because my father was diagnosed with cancer, and this was a Christmas that we were going
through that we didn't think that we would have together.

I don't have even a lot of
photos of it, but it was a really important time in our lives. So, not only did I choose
paper that sort of reflected the love and the commitment we had to one another as a
family, but I chose to journal about it. I. Made a little mini-book in here, that actually
opened up with a hinge, that I just talked about how scary it was, and how as a fourteen
year old I thought that this was a Christmas we were going to have without our dad and
that he was there with us and how special it really was.

So you want to make sure that
you're re really capturing that emotion with your written word. A lot of people, you know,
they save that for last and then they never get around to doing it. Right. And a lot of
people are even afraid to use their own handwriting, and I would say your handwriting is a part
of who you are.

You use your handwriting to talk about what is happening in your photos,
and you connect a little personality to it. It's great. So, it really is a storytelling
tool to express yourself. Absolutely.

Because you're putting the emotions in it. Exactly.
Great. So, go ahead and story tell. Make sure you're journaling.

Make sure you're writing
in your scrapbook. Definitely. And what is coming up next? Next, we're going to just
talk about a couple more ways to journal, and of some wrapping up tips. Great.

That's
coming up next..
