I love every single one!! My fave is #5! The music collage and tab wrap around! So many fantastic elements all in one! Great job, Kathleen!! And I love how you chatter to yourself as you're creating....I do that too! 😉
Thank you, Kathleen. This is an awesome video featuring 5 beautiful techniques for pockets/tucks. I love your layering projects and in my eyes you’re one of the best of the many creators that I have seen on RUclips at creating layered effects! Your pieces always look amazing! I’m really looking forward to the flip through of both of these journals. Well done, dear friend! 😀💞
Kathleen each one of these are awesome. I'm rewatching this video as soon as I pull a bunch of crafty supplies. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us. Hugs and stay well.
I love the window envelope as the top corner tuck, I love that you used the score board to make the lines like embossing and I really love that you made the pocket in the front with the tab. Such great ideas. Thank you!
I always enjoy watching you do collage. Every one of these pockets look great. Not sure I could choose a favorite, but the wrap around with the lace applique may be the one...maybe. The tab wrap around pocket at the front is great, too. (OK. All of them!) I love the idea you use to make the thumb notches by turning one piece over and punching them together. I get so many good ideas from you, but remembering all of them is the trick. Thanks so much for sharing, Kathleen.
@@yvonne9795 well, of course they look different! These are merely a template for your own creativity. I’m so glad you like what you’ve made Yvonne! That makes me very happy!
😍❤️ You have made some great pockets, and I agree with Linda that it’s hard to remember them all. That’s why I have saved another of your videos to refer to.
Kathleen, what a great tutorial video. I really like all of the pockets that you’ve shown us. Awesome help for us beginners. Thank you so much. You hit right on with my greatest fear. Putting pockets and decorating them. I never know what to do to make it attractive. Have a blessed day. ❤❤
Thank you for always inspiring me with something in every video. I went to my craft room to make just one of your pockets and it took a turn I wasn’t expecting. I had so much fun!
As always, Kathleen, great tutorial, well structured and it is amazing, how well prepared you go into filming 😊. Thanks for sharing and for plenty of ideas😊
Thank you for another wealth of inspiration. I thought I could not do any embossing, because I do not have a machine. And you just showed me one way to do it anyway, since I do have a scoring board. And of course your pattern was just one of so many other possibilities. But further than that you opened my mind to look around and find other things I can use to put some embossing on my papers without having an embossing machine. I will start experimenting more right now. Thank you!!!
Oh Sylvia - thanks so much for your thoughts. I’m so glad you feel this video is useful and encouraging. I’m glad you will try it out! Thanks for watching.
I know I'm a bit late, but was just re-watching this video and I have a couple of questions. How do you determine what is the right number of pockets and tucks in a journal? Also, how do you determine where to put them in the journal (ie: every second or third page)? I realize there are no real rules when it comes to journal making, but just curious to know what your process or approach is to this. Thank you for sharing.
@@marielibby6475 This is a really great question, but I hardly know how to answer it. I think it must come down to how many printed or decorative papers I have in the signature and that could vary. I really don’t put pockets on a writing page and seldom a tuck - maybe once in a while. I usually reserve the decorative or printed papers for these kinds of elements. The decorative papers end up between the writing pages, I try not to put too many writing pages without including a printed page, so they are kind of spaced, but it all depends on what I’ve chosen and what looks the best at the time. I almost always bind the journal before decorating pages, so then the die is cast as to where the pockets end up, haha. I just put pockets or elements where it seems like there needs to be one, haha. I do try to be deliberate about having a similar number in each signature, though I don’t worry if I’m off a couple. I really hate extreme gator mouth journals, so sometimes I just have to quit and leave decorative pages blank as well. It seems to me that I usually have about 7-10 elements in one signature. The number goes down if there is more than one or two signatures. I don’t always count embellishments as an element, only if it holds another piece of paper, or if it seems excessively thick. Thanks for the question Marie. I hope that’s a bit helpful.
Love the little details you consider, like the yellow on the birds chest to pull things together.
Thanks for noticing that Nana! I appreciate that! 😊
Scored lines on the plain folded card - such a simple but effective idea 🤩
I know, right? So simple, but I thank you Davina!
I love every single one!! My fave is #5! The music collage and tab wrap around! So many fantastic elements all in one!

It took me 2 weeks, but I finally made all five pockets! They look totally different than yours, but I love them all 😊 Thanks for all you do!

Lovely pocket ideas Kathleen. Liked how you made the tab for the wrap around pocket. Also, what a great idea to use the score board to create texture.
I’m glad Gloria! I’m so glad you came by!
Great ideas. For some reason I never thought about wraparound pockets. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so happy to inspire a new idea - thanks so much for stopping by!
