Thank you so much! Diana

[@moniquemonet3081]

My first time here. I'm hooked!

[@CraftedSweetly]

Welcome! That's awesome

[@judiwright8152]

Excellent and very clear instructions! Love your nails too.

[@CraftedSweetly]

Thank you so much! haha...I had to go back to look at the video and see what color my nails were! :). Happy folding!! Diana

[@morecoles44]

This is a terrific video! The explanations of the folding techniques are so clear and concise. You have taken the mystery out of how to do the different folds. Also, the portion of the video dedicated to coloring the book folded art, is the best by far. Thank you for a fantastic tutorial. Please keep the videos coming.

[@CraftedSweetly]

Thank you so much for the Wonderful comment! I truly appreciate the feedback. Is there a particular technique or project you'd like to see explained in a video? - Diana

[@valeriegehling4358]

Interesting. Thanks

[@joannbybee2176]

Remind me what it means when there is a double mark - in the same place- like 9.6 and 9.6

[@CraftedSweetly]

I usually add .1 to the second one unless there’s a 9.7 already, then I subtract .1 from the first

[@faypetzel7414]

Can you provide a link for the "Prince" pattern?

[@sandrarebeles769]

Great video... as usual. Lot of great information. Have you ever colored the entire edges of the book BEFORE you cut/mark/fold?

[@CraftedSweetly]

Thanks so much! I did one where I colored it with gold first. But, I do have on my "to do" project list a book with a brightly colored edging and then the fold. Stay tuned!

[@PrestonLewis94]

hi love watching the way you cut and fold your pages I have a pattern which I am trying to cut and fold and it tells me to do the same marking twice how do I do that.

[@CraftedSweetly]

Thank you! Just change one of the measurements plus or minus 0.1

[@babygirl36695]

Can you teach us how we can create our own designs to use bookami?

[@CraftedSweetly]

I posted a video on how to use Bookami - in case you missed it! - Diana

[@kimberlymcgee1]

Can you please tell me what your ruler is called? I want something like that to make it easier. Thanks for any help!!

[@CraftedSweetly]

Sure...it's this one: amzn.to/2U6xjEh. I also have a video reviewing the Incra Ruler, you can check the channel. Diana

[@مصطفىالعبادي-ق9ز]

Is there any program on the phone?

[@CraftedSweetly]

Yes, there's now wunderfold.art. I have a video review of its features, but more have been added since.

[@pamelasertich9850]

Do all cut and folds have the 180 fold? Even if it doesn't call for it, should you do it?

[@CraftedSweetly]

No, all cut and folds do not have a 180. It's up to you. A 180 will bulk up the book and I think it gives it a nice finished edge, but definitely not necessary.

[@pamelasertich9850]

@@CraftedSweetly I can’t figure out how to or where to put the reference line and the line where you fold to? Does that make any sense?

[@CraftedSweetly]

@@pamelasertich9850 I'm not sure what reference line you're referring to. Can you clarify??

[@ellagurr2848]

I have a folding book with letter M, plese let me know how to colour it. Thank you

[@CraftedSweetly]

It depends on what kind of folding you did. If it's a MMF, then you would have use a marker. If it's a cut and fold, you can use a marker or tape colored washi tape where you want it colored. If it's a cut and fold with a 180 fold, you can color with cardstock or with marker. I have coloring techniques in my videos - please see there for more detailed instructions.
