Tutorial: Mini Pocket Book

Yesterday at the SLC Regional Training, Carrie Cudney presented a pop culture book she made. This is my take on her album but in a smaller size. Instructions below.

Pop Culture Mini Pocket Book Supplies – Patterned paper and chipboard pieces (Scenic Route); stamps and stamping ink (Stampin’ Up!); brads and pens (American Crafts); ribbon (Stampin’ Up! and American Crafts).

INSTRUCTIONS – Mini Pocket book



Gather your supplies:

1 sheet 12×12 patterned paper

Alternate piece of patterned paper (6x 2-1/4)

Sticky Strip

1-1/4″ circle punch

stapler

bone folder (for scoring)

brads

After making the basic shape of the mini book, make tags that fit inside each pocket. :)

   I’m so glad you went home straight away and made one of these books. I was also at the SL Regional and when they said your name, I said to my friend,”I subscribe to her blog.” WOW! You’re famous! Anyway, thanks for always creating such cute cards and projects. I can’t wait to make my own Pop Culture book. Keep up the good work.

   I am a visual learner. The step by step photos took the quess work out of this simple project. My friend Cristina and I made this yesterday for Mothers day gifts. Instead of notes on the tags we put 4×6 and 2×3 photos on them. It turned out really great! Thanks so much for the simple but thoughtful gift idea.

   I have to ask, do you have an extra deep stapler? I tried this (because it’s adorable) and my stapler would reach into the middle to secure the inner page. It’s, of course, possible that my measurements were off. Can you let me know?

   Thanks for all your great, great, great work. You’ve inspired me more than you know.

    J’adore ce petit mini, mais serait-il possible, d’avoir les explications en fran√ßais, car j’aimerais bien pouvoir le r√©aliser, et l√† je ne comprend rien. Merci d’avance.

    J’adore ce petite mini et je souhaiterais pouvoir le r√©aliser. Serais-il possible d’avoir les explication en fran√ßais, car je ne comprend pas l’anglais et juste avec les images, c’est un peu difficile. Merci d’avance.
