Christmas Card Chubby Mini Album Part One of Five Builidng the Album and Pages 

YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD TEACHER, ALWAYS MAKE EVERYTHING MAKE SENSE, SO ENJOY WATCHING YOU...

I made a baby album with this binding method super easy. Love all your videos.

WOW, that binding system turned out amazing. There is NO way I'd be able to accomplish that but I cant wait to see how this turns out. So far, very very nice

I'm a newbie making envelope albums n this is a challenge in soon going to master.....I don't know about anyone else but I have to make several of basically everything I make to get locked in my brain. This was a wonderful tutorial out of the almost 40 years using a computer I've never made a post to anything........not even on facebook. When I get crafting everything wrong with my world becomes right. Thank you for this opportunity Peggy

Looking good so far!! Love the paper. In my viewing of the 100 or so videos on mini albums, I have found this hinge system to be the most popular. Can't wait for the other videos!!

Live the envelope punch. Takes the guess work out of it.

Wow...this is so interesting! I am terrible with a craft knife so maybe I could handle this binding system. I can hardly wait for the next video! Thanks for sharing and you make everything so easy to understand!

You are off to a great start Amy! I have used both stack the deck by Laura and the hidden hinge by Kathy Orta. I love them both! I am like Gareth, I didn't want the video to come to an end. I'm anxiously awaiting the next video! lol

I just ordered my magnets you just saved me a ton of money. I was buying the basic grey packs and was super expensive thank you so much!!!

I love this idea. I've used my old cards for gift tags, but this will be awesome to have espically cause you made it yourself.

This was so fun to make and quick too! I had so much fun making one with birthday and mother's day cards from my kids (some store bought and others homemade). Anyway, I'm so excited to start another one with Christmas cards! Thanks for the inspiration and guidance!

Woah! That is a chunky mini!! Stack the deck is my fave. It's going to be a very captivating series and I'm looking forward to seeing again all the Christmas cards and goodies you received!

You always make anything you do look so easy! I've never tried the stack the deck system before but after this series is complete, I plan to put an album together for my first granddaughter. She's only 5 days old but it will be a great gift for her parents this Christmas. Thank you, Amy for all the hard work you put into your videos. I don't know how you do it all!

Wow, I have used the stacked hinge system before, but mine didn't look as even as yours! Lovin' the series so far, can't wait for the next video!...hugs....Bobbie

Very exciting! Love these series videos! This is going to be so fun! Wonderful binding system btw.....will have to try this. Have a wonderful night! Smiles!! Becca

This is so nice I made a spine like this at one of my classes. Took a lot when I started smiles scrapbooking smiles thank you for sharing this to refresh my memorie

I love to cover and can't wait to see the next video.

I can't wait to try this. I'be saved Christmas cards for years.. too cute. I love the binding system..

So excited - can't wait to see how you fill it up!! I don't know, but I think you're going to have to call it a maxi album!!

Looking forward to seeing this all come together, I know it's going to be awesome! Lisa

I could just listen to your voice for hours lol! Love that southern accent 😁

Looking good so far xx

Maymay this is going to be so cute! Love that binding system too! Cannot wait until the next step.

These videos are so addicting!!! I just ordered a bunch of basic crafting supplies i.e. Mat, ruler, knife, envelope punch board, and so on. I have not ordered paper. I want to be able to flip through it. Hopefully this weekend. I want to make a mini album for my baby niece's first milestones for Christmas. Thank so much for the inspiration and guidance Maymay!

I love the stack the deck binding system!! I started out using it over a year ago. I was making the TP mini albums. I was looking for something different to do with them I was binding then with the rings., boring! I came across a video by Ginger of My Sisters Scraper. It was called Vertical TP Mini Album. She uses the Stack the deck binding, by Laura Denason ( u were correct) to make the TP minis. I made one and I was hooked! It is such an easy binding for almost any mini album. Your album is looking awesome! I'm off to see part 2. Have a Merry Christmas! Thanks for another awesome video!!

Very cool so far. Love using Laura's stack the deck. Also maybe you can try the hidden hinge by Kathy orta. Super easy as well.

I love all of your tutorials! This is the first video I've seen in this series so I'll have to watch the rest and make this album because since watching your tutorials I want to get more into scrap booking and making my own mini albums! Thank you for your detailed tutorials and creative mind!

Great job so far :) One little tip. Put some repositionable tape on the back of the Binding piece that is on the mat so it doesn't slide around while you add the next piece. I can't wait to see this one finished.

Can't wait to for the next video!!!! You are so clever and creative!!

Looking good.

Everything you make is so well explained thanks!

o wow!!! looks geat already!! And you explain everything so well!! xx

I didn't want it to end... I was glued, I can sew I'm going to learn a lot from this series (as I always do with your videos). Bring on vid 2 :)

I have used the stack the deck binding of Laura's before you will love it. Looking great so far can't wait to see what you do. God Bles :-}

A couple of notes I would like you to consider. I made two of your envelope mini albums. I noticed that if you don't put glue in between the score tape for the covers, they tend to bubble. So, I put the score tape around the edges and some kind of liquid glue inside of that in hopes it wont bubble (we'll see.) Secondly, I use a cheap glue stick on top of the score tape, it gives me so wiggle room (found this on Jenofeve designs.) This seems to help very well. Also, I have discovered using double sided designer paper as my hinges (or stack the deck), it makes the inside of the book look nice (found on Kathy Orta King.) Just something to think about. I love your Mini Albums. Thanks for sharing. Mylene

Brilliant , thank you .. so well explain and beautifully put together . Thank you . Looking forwards to part 2 . :) xx

I love all your mini series. The bonding can we also do it like accordion style? We can glue the inside one and the one the stick out stock the paper?.

Awesome! I hate when part 1 ends and I have to wait for part 2! lol

great tutorial!

An easier way to figure out the math is 1 1/2 " for 2 pages and then add an inch for each 2 pages after that. It is so much easier.

It's huge. I can't wait for the next episode. You really scared me using the cutting tool to peel off the backing. Be careful with those precious hands.

Excellent tutorial!! Where do you get your magnets from? Cant wait for #2

Witch paper trimmer is the best to cut 12x12 paper with out get stuck

Where do you get your magnets cause any I have bought won't still between the papers.

I'm just curious where you get your chipboard at? Thanks!!

Did you use paper or cardstock for the designer paper?

wouldn't it be easier to put them together then fold?

OK....So your chipboard pieces are all 6 3/4 inches high? And the back and front two pieces are 7 " wide?

i's going to be triple super duper awesome :) xo

MayMay where do you get your score tape --would you be so kind to let me know--thank you hugs
