Mixed Media Mini with Envelope Pockets
I used mixed media collage techniques to create a small “bonus” mini for my new friend Karen.. I decided to make it because I had created some cool elements that just wouldn’t work in her regular book….so rather than throw them away…I made a little book to show off these great envelop with folding pockets and lots of places for tags, pictures and journaling. I did a short tutorial at the end on how to create a similar envelope Pocket Mini.

Wine Library TV’s Gary Vaynerchuk gives his no-holds-barred take on how modern businesses must adapt to thrive in a social media-driven culture. —– On November 5, L2 and NYU Stern hosted its second-annual Innovation Forum at The Morgan Library in New York City. The full-day event addressed innovation in digital marketing and implications for prestige brands. L2 Forums are the largest gatherings of prestige professionals in North America. Forums draw C-level executives and top marketing and digital talent from prestige brands; leading agencies, media, and technology firms; and innovators and academics. In addition, 25 percent of seats are reserved for students from the nation’s top business and arts graduate programs. Gary Vaynerchuk was born in Babruysk, USSR (today Belarus) on November 14, 1975 and emigrated to the US in 1978. He graduated from Mount Ida College in Newton, MA. From a platform as co-owner and Director of Operations of Wine Library, a wine retail shop in Springfield, New Jersey, Vaynerchuk gained fame as the host of Wine Library TV, a daily internet webcast on the subject of wine. Called the “king of social media”, he is one of the first Facebook users to max out his friend limit, with over 17000 pending friend requests. He is in the top 100 people followed on Twitter and was the keynote speaker at events like the 2009 South by Southwest Interactive conference and the New Media and Web 2.0 expos.
I love this technique. Thank you so much. I would love to see how to do the front so if you would do a video that woudl be great. Thank you….
@MsJaay101 thanks so much! This is one of my favorite “go to” tEchniques for creating pockets for minis. Let me know how it works for you if you try it.
Very nice album. Love the three envelope pockets.
First of all let me say, “we all started with our first set of stamps and some ink!” So I am excited for you that you are embarking on this new adventure! Secondly, I think I create my best art when I approach it “childishly” with no fear of failure so I hope you will get your stamps out and make a GRAND MESS! To answer your question about attaching the envelopes, I used a very strong double sided tape called it red liner tape
I have just bought my very first inks and stamps ever. So watching your video I have a question that may seem idiotic to all you who are proffs:) How did you stick the envolopes on the the cover?? This album if very beautiful and all the things in it. It is very inspirering watching these videos even though whatever I make it will look like a child did it next to what all you talented people do;)
@WhatYouMakeIt1 I wish I could do a video of this procedure, but I do not have a video camera. I could probably do a slide show of sorts. I’ll have to work on it.
@SilverOneJ I would love to see how yours with the 5 envelopes turned out — bet it was FABULOUS! Now you have my brain working overtime trying to work it out in my head how that would look! Thanks for sharing the idea!
I tried this and I used 5 envelopes. Lots more storage with the tags and photos. Wonderful idea – thanks for sharing.
I WOULD LOVE TO OWN ONE OF YOUR ALBUMS FOR SOMETHING I MAY HAVE THAT YOU CAN USE. I AM NOT FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE MUCH, AS IM LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. I CAN BE REACHED @ LADYBUG1376@HOTMAIL.COM
I WOULD LOVE TO SWAP ONE OF THESE FO SOMETHING I MAY HVE THAT YOU CAN USE. IM NOT FORTUNATE TO HAVE A WHOLE LOT BUT , I CAN SHARE SOME THINGS! LADYBUG1376@HOTMAIL.COM
You have to do a tutorial! Maybe you already have seeing that I’m viewing this vid in July! If you have a tut on this, could you share where I can find it? Thanks!

That’s funny…I just watched the video that you are referring to, in which she made that multi-fold-out mini!
So beautiful. Would like to know how to make this album. The colors are wonderful.
Just Awesome, i love the idea of taking something so simple and transform it to something amazing ie: simple envelopes = gorgeous album… Wow Wee !!
Beautiful!
Love your book. I’m going to fold my envelopes now so I won’t forget. Thanks for
sharing.
Hi Jann! I found your videos – yay!! 1) Can you bring this book to Jenni’s next month? and 2) did you use black envelopes on this? I’m trying to figure out how they’re black. Where’d ya get ‘em? Love this!!!!!!!! Your ideas are so advanced and out of my box but I want to try some of them! It is great to see you in action!

wowza she got a two-fer lol how cool! I’m totally digging that birdcage stamp on the tag. The cover is stunning.

Hey Leslie…the spine is cardstock….but I ran it through the cuttlebug to texturize it and then added Mod Podge to give it a bit more strength and that may have made it sound like metal — and then my “ever present” rub and buff to give it the “look” of metal. I appreciate your encouragement….sometimes the brain works…and sometimes…not so much! *smile*
@boknstet Ooops, sorry didn’t mean to click the “Post” button twice. Can’t delete it either.
Why does the spine sound metallic? OMG, the fold out part is absolutely FAB. I love your tags, especially the butterfly. How did you figure all that out????? You amaze me. Thanks for showing how you came up with the idea for this. You have one seriously crafty brain!!!!

Your mini book is beautiful, but I cannot imagine photos in it — it would hide all the lovely creativity.
Can’t way to read Gary’s new book!
The Rothschilds are enslaving the People of the US via the fraudulent criminal conspiracy known as the illegal, unConstitutional Federal Reserve. The entire US government is now simply a puppet of the Rothschild banking dynasty.
“End the Fed”
Every political candidate must be evaluated based upon this single all telling crucial issue. You are either with the People or you are with the Rothschilds and their agents, the international bankers.
This is the new American litmus test.
Gary … Love you message and appreciate what you’re doing

Gary, just one question (Disclaimer- I’m a Professor in Wine Marketing and I use, and cite, some of your materials in courses on ‘Trends in the wine sector’): We’re noticing that critics are often the first to comment and the most frequent posts in response to new on-line content. Given that wine producers are almost always novices in e-media, how do you encourage them to get past those first few difficult steps into the new age? Damien Wilson (WineBusProf)
@wizzardsblog
Don’t try playing Russian Roulett you can die.
Well… never mind, go ahead.
@TheAmericanRifleman Make your own mind up whether you want to watch something, sure recommendations and comments are great. I prefer to try something myself despite negative comments. Then I take comfort in the thought that I made my own mind up.
I would say never apologise for who you are or what you do, everyone’s entitled to their opinion of you whether it be complimentary or hurtful. Got a suggestion to the 2 highly rated comments, watch his other stuff, he hasn’t purposefully tailored his talk to mimic anything, that’s how passionate Gary is. No I’m not kissing his backside. I’ve watched many of his talks. To some he may seem too excited, get past that, a lot he says is common sense, companies just have to wake up and see that.
You the man Coach Gary!
@GaryVaynerchuk Gary it took me a bit to get you i must say when everyone was jazzing on you…but I actually went to to your site today b/c I “wanted to see what Gary was up to”. I like you man. thx.
@soundscapenyc I hate that thats how I came off but I get it, I get to excited and it hurts me in some peoples eyes, I am so sorry Sound and hoep I can apologize in person one day
@rubberbaby00 I am super sorry you feel that way
I really am, I hope we can meet in person one day, i really do
@rubberbaby00 super sorry you felt that way man
sucks, I hope we can meet in person one day!
I have to admit I’ve fallen into the trap of the “show up and throw up” version of internet marketing. In person, I’m very caring, but sometimes online I just spew info. He’s right about so much. It’s a mentality change that needs to happen.
@ConradMcBad – Wrong. The message is “show people that you listen to what they’re saying and that you actually give a crap, and they’re a lot more likely to buy from you later down the road… and in the meantime they’re also more likely to publicly promote your brand, service or product on your behalf”. Big difference.
@rubberbaby00 – Sounds like you are still asleep my friend. Gary just gave you the answers to the test.
@ConradMcBad and when is the last time a major corporation was nice to you?
@mypianoclimbs He says “mobile” (as in mobile phones/cellphones). Mobile is pronounced differently in different English dialects.
This guy could sell the ‘fuck’ out of sham-wow!! He’s kind of like Richard Simmons, only with a less dorky outfit. But, he’s right – rather than spend $10M on a commercial spread, they ought to hire a bunch of $8/hour folks to be twitter friends.
Wow, I was getting ready to watch it, but all your comments talked me out if it. Thanks for saving me ten minuts.
I like gary!
I have no problem with cursing or the words “fuck” and “fucking”, but I do have a problem with someone who is using cursewords just to be using cursewords. It’s too obvious and thick. If he would have skipped the cursing, his talk would have been fine.
A stuck up douche-bag who goes on and on about how he loves to blog about wine. I could not care less about his shitty, middlebrow wine recommendations…If the world is thinking, it is not in this room. Unsubscribe.
@Tippersnore if you buy a private island on ebay
Marketing as we know it is founded on the mass-distribution paradigm of the 1950′s and depends heavily on control of what information consumers have access to. I’m certain the dinosaurs aren’t going to just give up and let Manhattan fall into the ocean, so the notion that the internet has not yet matured is a little spooky.
If someone could tell me where I could get the intro music I’d be happy to pay for it.
@soundscapenyc and rubberbaby00 – His performance was something I would show in class to exhibit a well delivered speech. He starts w / a good intro and his message, distilled, is that a more humanistic approach to marketing is necessay to confront a changing world where product reputation and consumer cynasism require business to use the internet to manage and respond to this new form of communication
