I’m so grateful for this video! The WAMK tutorial while nice to watch offered no direct instructions on how to use it. I appreciate your detailed instructions so much. I was getting frustrated why my pockets weren’t coming out correctly! If you’re a teacher, thank you for the lesson!
Thank u for being so prepared with your videos StephG! So fantastic when demonstrators are focused on the product and provide tips and background experience versus opening a product and demonstrating it for the first time which wastes so much time (and quite frankly annoying when they giggle throughout most of video and make so many unrelated comments AND sales pitches!). I'm a giddy and patient gal but when I look up tutorials, I just want to learn it quickly and you are amazingly informative with your tutorials. I just subscribed! :-) :-)
If you take a Sharpie you can draw a line at the "O" and align the side of the paper to cut. All my WRMK tools are marked with Sharpies cause I can't never remember or align anything. Thanks for sharing, learned something knew. And as they say Knowledge is Power! Just scrolled down and saw someone else said the same, don't feel that bad marking my tools. ♥♥
StephG thank you very much for your excellent tutorial on the We R Memory Keepers Pocket Punch. You are such an excellent teacher and you go at just the right place giving lots of alignment tips along the way I am looking forward to watching other tutorials you have posted.
I just bought one of these, thank you so much for explaining just how to use this tool. You did a fantastic job explaining. Because of you I will be able to use it. Again thank you. 👍
You can trace a line with a sharpie going through the letter O and use the line as your guide to align the paper to make the notch :) Thanks for your video!
Wow some people....(sorry read comments) Anywho I think your instructions are awesome. I am a seasoned crafter but I can see where in depth explanations are helpful to those just starting out. I just picked this board up at Tuesday Morning today for $12.00...so excited to play with it. Thank you for your instruction. gina
Hello, Gina! Thanks so much for watching and I really appreciate your kind words. My tools in action videos are designed to be a "missing manual" type of video to help new users be confident with using them. Thanks again and have a lot of fun with your new pocket punch! You got a good deal.
I am just now seeing this video for the tool. I use the envelope punch for the notch for my pockets by gluing the pocket first then turn it over and squeeze the pocket open. Then you can stick it under the punch.
Found you truly by accident, and I must say you are precise and extremely informative. What a pleasure to watch and learn from you. That being said, I cannot wrap my head around why anyone would want this tool to make little envelopes. But that's just me, I guess. Otherwise, kudos to you on your video.
Lol. Charlotte thank you for your kind words! I appreciate that not everyone wants to make little envelopes or use this tool. Thanks for watching, though.😁
There is an easier way, one I use all the time when I make coin envelopes. Once the envelope is sealed at the closing seam I use a circle punch, put it half way in the opening and punch. Perfectly lined up half circle every time. Much less fiddly :)
Thanks so much for the step-by-step, super duper, clear instructions. I was able to follow along and complete a couple of pockets. Really appreciate your hard work. Great video! Hugs! 💯
Thank you, I just bought one and couldn’t get it to work. Your Vedic sure came in handy with the tip to line up the first number on your card! Thanks again!!
Thank you for the great directions! I want to make pickets to send Tea in Happy Mail packages. Oh and a great idea to use the Washi Tape! I would for sure get mixed up. LOL
Thanks for showing how to use this! I’ve just ordered mine and I can’t wait to use it! For the notch with the flap, I’m gonna put a washi tape on the other side of the half O so it will help me line my paper and get the same punch all the time
Thank you for the very clear, concise instructions! I find it much easier to learn something by watching rather than reading instructions, so your video is perfect. I just bought this tool a few days ago, so I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks for your tutorial. I purchased this, made one pocket and was regretting the purchase. I wish WeR Memory Keepers would have made larger print and more extensive instructions, but I can go somewhere and have the instructions they did provide enlarged. Maybe there are more instructions on their website. I guess they think all their purchasers are 22 with perfect eyesight. I wear reading glasses and still had to use a magnifying glass. I'll keep trying and maybe find this is an essential tool. Your tutorial did help a lot.
I have not used this tool but to help with the notches I would draw a perpendicular line from the edge of the platform through the center of the O so you could line up the edge of the paper with it - too bad we r mk didn't think to add a line up channel there. Hope you try this and let us know how it works. Thanks for the tutorial - I love that you review all of these new tools so I can see if I want to buy one!
I love We R punch boards and I have just had the pocket board arrive today all the way from the US. So I'm looking forward to trying it out. I have just watched your demo and found it really helpful. Thank you. Happy crafting, Wendy UK.
this was so helpful! i just bought this punch board, but it looks kind of intimidating at first and i was a little afraid it would be too hard to use or the instructions wouldn’t be clear enough for me. i usually learn best when watching someone else demonstrate. thank you for sharing!
I just got it, many of my sketchbook don't come with pockets and I like to carry reference pictures and any other drawings I do with me, I am making pockets for them... best thing ever.
Thank you for the very concise and helpful tutorial. I love the punchboards and tools from We R Memory Keepers EXCEPT for this: they seem to have no consideration for people with low vision. For example on this pocket punchboard: the incised marks to use for centering the thumb punch are not highlighted. I understand to make them dark gray or black would possibly take away from their aesthetic, but it surely make the board most usable for everyone over the age of 40 and most people with other vision issues. The second really big issue is the packaging, package insert, and chart for paper sizes is in such a tiny font it's - again - almost impossible for anyone with vision problems to see. Yes, the turquoise and white and oh-so-pretty, but there's little contrast which would make reading easier. And, I haven't looked on their website in a while, but the last time I looked there was no large font, high contrast, easy to read version of the instructions and chart which could be downloaded to make this tool easily accessible to paper crafters of all (or most all) vision levels. So while I appreciate and buy these products, they are unusable to me without lots of preparation, such as asking someone else to write the chart in large numbers for me, which I then type with a large and bold font. Of course this allows for errors at two steps. And it's tedious and honestly my family does it for me but they don't like doing it, and I can't blame them. It seems the least WRMK could do is include a large and high contrast format. After all, they're making imperial and metric dimensions and English, French, Spanish, and German versions. There are lots and lots of older crafters and vision impaired crafters who could sure benefit from that consideration in the craft tool manufacturing world. Please spread the word. Thanks
You’re amazing, No seriously. I live WRMK, but I’m all thumbs. Your tutorial hits it out of the ball park yet again. Thank you so much. When you get a hold of their bookbinder tool, I know I will be so successful if we have your tutorial.
If you fold the flap of the unglued finished pocket down, you can use the butt bar to ensure your punched thumb notch is straight. You obviously still need to line up with the centre of the “O” on the board. I hope this makes sense, informative tutorial, thanks
Great simple tutorial! I appreciate you taking the time to explain what this is because looking at the label on the store pieces, it doesn’t even tell you what it might be used for. I had to look it up and came to this tutorial which was a perfect explanation! So thank you!
Great tip; I'd use a T ruler and place a piece of thin tape/washi in the center of that O to the bottom of the board. Or use a black sharpie if you intend to use that technique often.
Hello- I thought your video was very informative! You have a patient voice and explain things well. A tip ... you can use the bone folder (scoring tool) to make crisp seams for your pocket if you're someone who doesn't like the look of the fold you get by pressing with your fingers. Set the paper on a flat surface, fold and smooth as usual, then run the tool down the seams to get a crisp fold. You might not want to do this if you're planning on inserting a thick item into the envelope.
Thank you for your video demonstration. So precise & easy to follow your verbal instructions. First time watching your channel. I subscribed,liked & shared for my daughter (Tammi) to watch. Looking forward to all your crafting videos
Thanks for your vid and I appreciate your clear explanation. I’ve just bought the board yesterday (which is pricey here) and so happy to come across your vid. I’ve subscribed to your channel too:)
Thanks, Lynda! I appreciate you kind words! I have a couple of pocket punch projects on my channel too, which I hope will inspire you to create projects with your new board! Enjoy your new tool!
I was so curious about this board and unsure if I buy it, so I was glad to see what it's capable of. I'm still unsure if I want it, because I'm not a fan of the blades in general, they dull down so fast... Many thanks for the informative video!
@@LorealNewsonTRLDesigns Thank you for your response.. I just downloaded the App and it will definitely work with my envelope punch board...really appreciate the tip... I like the pocket style envelope for my slimline cards and I do have ways to make that happen... I was kind of hoping I could make that happen with the Pocket Punchboard, no worries.... Happy 2021..!! :)
Easy for make it more simple ( I guess ) You finished your last pouch and use a round punch ( not the We R memory keepers ) when the 2 flaps are in place. I think it ´ll do the trick.
Thank you! I have been trying this thing out for a few days and not one pocket worked! I had my paper turned wrong I think. After some sleep I'll give it another try. The instructions aren't very clear on the print out, but your video is great :)
hello StephG I guess I am never good with measurements but I wish that I could read a ruler I was in special Ed at school please don't laugh it has been really rough for me growing up I wish that someone could help me I got a punch board I love your video it seems like it takes me awhile to learn how to use this thanks
Hi, Tracey! Thank you for watching! I never laugh at other people. We all have challenges. I hope you get a chance to play with the punch board. One thing I like are that all the measurements at the top are marked with numbers so you don't have to count lines or guess which mark to use. They also call it a guideline and not a ruler, which helps. It still takes a couple of tries to get it right, but practicing on a scrap paper first helps.
I totally understand where you’re coming from! I hated learning metric conversion math in school! However, I sew, do patchwork, quilting, card making and scrapbooking. In those crafts, using metric is easier because all the numbers are rounded and even. You don’t have any odd measurements like 7/8 or 3/16. Metric is so much easier when making cards, and I wish American manufacturers would include both measurement markers on the sides of these wonderful tools and scoreboards!
Thanks for showing this. I have a few WRMK boards. For some reason I could never follow their instructions. I am glad that many tutorials are on RUclips. Yours is very clearly understandable. Quick question. ..I found that on many of my punch boards, the blade doesn't stay in its cradle. Mostly the smaller ones. How can I keep them in their cradles durring storing them?
Thanks, Nanette! If the blade does not push firmly into it's round storage hole, perhaps using a scrap of light paper as a shim to keep it in. Or maybe use a rubber band to keep it in place. I have not had this issue, so maybe another kind viewer can help.
What is the purpose of not having the blade stationary versus the blade picked up & manually placed into the channel? Doesn't seem to make sense since each cut will be in that same channel regardless of the size of pocket or am i misunderstanding something?
When doing the hole for the thumb pocket to pull out gift cards I just assemble and then use a small hole punch on the end I do not use the portion on the tool to make it
Hi, Janice, thanks for watching! Not really. It does pockets and pockets with a flap that can be used as an envelope. You can cut a window in the pocket and seal it it make a shaker, but it is still a pocket. Hope this helps!
Hi, Helen! Thanks for watching! I believe that WRMK has a replacement plastic piece with a blade. I have not purchased one yet, but I have seen them in the big box craft stores.
Stephanie, I just got this and I am practicing but I am having trouble getting my pattered paper going the right way. I have a piece of paper with text on it and want it to end up horizontal but it ends up vertical. Do you have any tips for me? Help.
Hi, Marilyn...I'd love to help, if I can. When cutting the paper to size, the 1st measurement on the chart is going to be the horizontal measurement - this will create the sides that fold or wrap around to make the back of the pocket. The 2nd measurement is for the flap or open ends. If text needs to be horizontal, cut it to the first number of inches inches wide. Also, keep that side of the paper up at the top (at the number guide, not the letter guide) when using the board to cut the "corners" out of the paper. --- I'm not sure if I've answered your question. Let me know and I will try again...
Stampjg - StephG Thanks, I think I finally realize that the longest side of the paper is the seam part so it ends up being the vertical patterns once you hold the pocket or envelope upright. At least that style of pocket, upright vs laying on its side. I will play around a bit more to see if I figured it out. Thanks for your help.
Another interesting product. You have a really great presentation style - clear and informative! Have you seen or used one of the WRMK 1-2-3- punch boards? I've considered buying one but it seems a lot of money to pay out on something I'm not sure about!
@@stampjg I don't know if you have a Tuesday Morning anywhere around you. They have the 123 as well as other WRMK boards and items. They also have other current WRMK items that you find at the mainstream stores. Thanks :) In regards to the less fiddley way of doing the thumb notch, I would just put it together and use a regular small round punch on the finished piece. I think that they over thought that a bit and went complicated...lol or the could have made it come out not flushed with the side of the board. But, an easier way would use a small circle punch and only punch half of the circle out. Some WRMK people may already have there 1/2 circle punch that they sold for the tabs a while back. Just a thought.
Just bought this on clearance for junk journals. Thank you for walking me through how to use this product.
I’m so grateful for this video! The WAMK tutorial while nice to watch offered no direct instructions on how to use it. I appreciate your detailed instructions so much. I was getting frustrated why my pockets weren’t coming out correctly! If you’re a teacher, thank you for the lesson!

Thanks, Nanette! If the blade does not push firmly into it's round storage hole, perhaps using a scrap of light paper as a shim to keep it in. Or maybe use a rubber band to keep it in place. I have not had this issue, so maybe another kind viewer can help.
can we make a pocket with a slight height on each side of the pocket? to fit more cards in the pocket? instead of flat sides
THANK YOU!
Loved your video. Thank you so much. You have a new subscriber. I appreciate you.
Thank you so much, Jenny! I appreciate you too!
You can add a piece of washi tape 1/2way on the “O” and I believe it will work. I do it on my sewing machine.
What is the purpose of not having the blade stationary versus the blade picked up & manually placed into the channel? Doesn't seem to make sense since each cut will be in that same channel regardless of the size of pocket or am i misunderstanding something?
a very good tutorial ! Merci beaucoup, but ... i want to kwow if the size guide is also in centimetres . Merci pour votre réponse . Sylvie
Hello, Sylvie! Yes, centimetres are on one side, inches on the other. Merci beaucoup for your kind words!
Thank u great tutorial!
Thanks so much for watching, Erika!

Subscribing!
Thanks for watching and subscribing, Adriana!
what ab out putting a washi tape guide through the letter O
When doing the hole for the thumb pocket to pull out gift cards I just assemble and then use a small hole punch on the end I do not use the portion on the tool to make it
Maybe you can put line with marker in midle of smile line in green punch
Thanks for watching, Agatha! I appreciate the helpful tip!
thank you, you done good!
Thank you, Denise!
There is something else we can do with this board besides pockets?
Hi, Janice, thanks for watching! Not really. It does pockets and pockets with a flap that can be used as an envelope. You can cut a window in the pocket and seal it it make a shaker, but it is still a pocket. Hope this helps!
Stampjg - StephG thank you for your kind answer 🥳
Every good tutorial. I couldn't quite get the instructions.
Thanks for watching, Denise!
I have to have one of these. Why couldn’t you use a small circle punch to make notch?
Hi, Lou! Thank you for coming by! Yes, you can use a small circle punch for the notch. I just seem to miss the middle when I do it this way :-)
What do you do if and when the blade gets dull?
Hi, Helen! Thanks for watching! I believe that WRMK has a replacement plastic piece with a blade. I have not purchased one yet, but I have seen them in the big box craft stores.
I would have 10 done using my score board and corner rounder. This product seems like a waste of money. Great tutorial!!
Thanks so much for watching, T Cla! I understand that not every tool is for everybody. It is one reason I do product demos.
Stephanie, I just got this and I am practicing but I am having trouble getting my pattered paper going the right way. I have a piece of paper with text on it and want it to end up horizontal but it ends up vertical. Do you have any tips for me? Help.
Hi, Marilyn...I'd love to help, if I can.
When cutting the paper to size, the 1st measurement on the chart is going to be the horizontal measurement - this will create the sides that fold or wrap around to make the back of the pocket. The 2nd measurement is for the flap or open ends.
If text needs to be horizontal, cut it to the first number of inches inches wide. Also, keep that side of the paper up at the top (at the number guide, not the letter guide) when using the board to cut the "corners" out of the paper.
--- I'm not sure if I've answered your question. Let me know and I will try again...
Stampjg - StephG Thanks, I think I finally realize that the longest side of the paper is the seam part so it ends up being the vertical patterns once you hold the pocket or envelope upright. At least that style of pocket, upright vs laying on its side. I will play around a bit more to see if I figured it out. Thanks for your help.
Another interesting product. You have a really great presentation style - clear and informative!
Have you seen or used one of the WRMK 1-2-3- punch boards? I've considered buying one but it seems a lot of money to pay out on something I'm not sure about!
Hi, Rachel! Thank you for your kind words! I do not have a 1-2-3 Punch Board, but I will put it on my list of tools to look for. Thanks again!
@@stampjg I don't know if you have a Tuesday Morning anywhere around you. They have the 123 as well as other WRMK boards and items. They also have other current WRMK items that you find at the mainstream stores. Thanks :) In regards to the less fiddley way of doing the thumb notch, I would just put it together and use a regular small round punch on the finished piece. I think that they over thought that a bit and went complicated...lol or the could have made it come out not flushed with the side of the board. But, an easier way would use a small circle punch and only punch half of the circle out. Some WRMK people may already have there 1/2 circle punch that they sold for the tabs a while back. Just a thought.
Yes, I think a circle punch would be easier, except I have a habit of missing the middle somehow! But it is less fiddley. Thanks Kat!
