Hello! Your “mistake” on the square added under the flaps makes folks notice there is something good under the flap, so you did good!

Vintage beauty! I like the way you hold things up close to the camera so your subbies can see!! Like the double pocket in the middle section. I put a small memo pad in mine.💕🐬

Every time I see one of your videos come up on my screen and I see it's 40min...I'm like oooo time to get cozy and craft! Love how relaxing your videos are. :) The time flies haha

Thank you so much for the shout out, Barbara! And your piece is so beautiful! I had been a subbie of yours under my name, Judy Sanderson, and now I subbed as Rose Lane Vintage Designs. Thanks again, and keep on inspiring us all with your creations! Blessings! 💕

Love all the pockets, might be nice to send out in happy mail too... Lovely 😊😊🧡💜💛

[teresemartinez]

I love this! I send a lot of happy mail and this will be a great place to put ephemera for sending out!

[sandraadamson]

Love it. Even your wee mistake worked in really well.

I worked right along with you... big big thank you!!! It was something I have never done before! So loved zero measurements required, no fancy cutting tools, works on all kinds of paper including light paper! Small project yet, with decorating can keep my focus and expand my creativity for a day or more if I desire. Unlike regular book page pockets, the possibilities for decorating is massive. It is also very interactive once completed. This checked all the boxes for me! Highly suggest for all newbies who want to take their art journals or altered books to the next level... I truly felt I had finally leveled up AND I had everything I needed to create... for cheap to free without having to invest in anything new! I feel inspired to make several. Also plan to make a few to give as greeting cards for Birthdays, Thank you's, Valentines, etc... I have been watching tons of pocket videos, this is the first one that truly was unique. I was getting bored with the same old same old pocket making... so again, thank you so much!

Lovely! I must add this to my list of necessities! Hugs from Ireland.

Your collaging is so pretty!! Thanks, for the lesson. 😻

Cute project! And, all of these collage videos you’ve been doing are helpful as I continue practicing. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[rgporter]

I love this, all of it, just as is! Here is also a thought about the hinge. The trifold can be hinged farther in on the page, you don't have to hinge it on the edge of the signature. Play with it and see what you think. And I think your boo boo with the bottom edge of the half fold writing squares look really cute peeking out. It makes it look like the tuxedo has a double lapel. Very snazzy! Thank you for another great video!💗

I love these trifold tuxedo pockets. Thanks for the tutorial.💝💝

[JanetDoucette]

I love this idea!!! It's a wonderful template even for book pages!!!

[olga-jj]

Love this pocket so much! Another way to use it is to glue back side to the page and you will have fun flips to open. Also I usually keep inside center for journaling, then it is less bulky and this is a kind of spot for secret journaling.

[jamiemueller]

So cool!! I absolutely love this. Talk about intricate and beautiful. Well done!

[pambotter]

I’m saving this video to make one of these at a later date. Love how it turned out. And I liked how the mistake showed, just another layer. As always TFS Barbara! ❤️

[shirleylaboy]

I've been wanting to make one of these, and here you are, Barbara. Thank you for sharing the tutorial. 🙂♥️
