Heartfelt Creations Wednesday - Mom's Flip Book

Thanks for stopping by today!  With Mother's Day this weekend, I have just the perfect project to share with you!  I created a Flip Book using Heartfelt Creations Sentiments For Mom, Distressed Leaves and Flora Grande images.  So what is a Flip Book?  It's a mini scrapbook of sorts, where the side panels flip open and closed.  The book is 4" x 4", and is the perfect size for carrying in your purse.

Here's an open view of a few of the pages

Bloggers Challenge - Valentine Flip Book

Another Friday...Another Bloggers Challenge....This weeks Challenge is appropriately themed Valentines, now none of the Bloggers Challenge Members have an excuse for not creating something for their Valentine!

I didn't create this for my Valentine, I'll be posting that tomorrow. I created this Valentine Flip Book using the Bind it All, for Melissa at The Rubber Cafe, using the Cosmo Cricket Chemistry Papers she carries in her store. You'll find directions for my Bind It All Flip Book here. Once you make one, they come together in no time. I used the Board Book and cut it to 4" x 4" for my covers. The BIA Coils I used are 3/4" coils.

Card Stock - Cosmo Cricket Chemistry, Black

Other - Bind It All, 3/4" Coils, Glue Stick, Sanding Block, Board Book

Afternoon Tea 4"x4" Flip Book

It's been awhile since I took out my Bind It All... I just got some great clear covers from ISC, and the Afternoon Tea DSP was just begging to be made into a Flip Book...The sentiment and flower are from the set Live your Dream

Here's a look at the inside - perfect to add photos and journaling...

The clear covers were added to both the front and back of my Flip Book, this will help protect the book against wear.

4"x 4" Bind It All Flip Book Tutorial

By: Lisa Somerville

Supplies:

Card stock/Designer Series Paper (DSP)
3 pieces of card stock 8” x 3 ¾” - score 2” from each 8” edge
4 pieces of 4” x 4” DSP for covers
10 pieces of 3 ½” x 1 ¾” DSP
4 pieces of 3 ¾” x 3 ½” DSP or card stock

Glue Stick
Bind It All
BIA Coil – I used ½” - although the ¾” would work
Mono Adhesive Tape or Sticky Strip
Bone Folder
2 – 4” Chipboard Covers

Cover your 4” chipboard front and back using glue stick and the pieces of 4”x 4” DSP – set aside. (If desired you can sand the edges with a sanding block and add ink with a sponge dauber)

Using the following diagrams place your DSP pieces onto your 4” and 2” panels of card stock

Inside view of page 1

Backside view of page 1 (the 4" panel is what will be facing you when your book is bound)

Inside view of page 2

Backside view of page 2

Inside view of page 3

Backside view of page 3


Now you’re ready to use your Bind It All to punch your pages

Set your Bind It All to “C” (cover) and punch your front and back covers

Set your Bind It All to “D” (inner pages) and punch your inner pages as shown (it may help to refer to the photos above as to where the DSP was placed)

Fold in one of the 2” flaps on page 1 – insert into your Bind It All and punch

Fold in the 2” flap on page 2 (that does NOT have DSP on both sides) – insert into your Bind It All and punch

Fold in one of the 2” flaps on page 3 – insert into your Bind It All and punch

Now you are going to attached your pages together as follows

Lay pages 1 and 2 down – front view up. Adhere tape to the right 2” panel on page 1 and adhere it to the left 2” panel on page 2 (making sure to line it up with the punches from the Bind It All)

This is a view of page 1 after it’s been attached to page 2

Lay page 2 down so that you are working on the back of the 4” panel, add tape and adhere it to the back 4” back panel of page 3 (making sure to line it up with the punches from the Bind It All)

This is a view of all pages when taped together


Now you are ready to add the coil to your book

Assemble in order from left to right

Back cover, front cover, and pages (note the 2” panels from page 3 are on the top). Slide in the double OWire binding.

Adjust the micro variable knob to the size wire you are using, place the book into the wire closing channel, bring down the handle and release.

Funky Vintage 4"x4" Flip Book

I recently received some embellishment paper - Funky Vintage - Lizzie Collection from Innovative Stamp Creations manufactured by Making Memories. This 6"x6" paper pad has some incredible papers!

I made a 4"x4" flip book using the Funky Vintage papers. The image on the front of the book is also from Innovative Stamp Creations (stamp sheet - Art Frames 4). The image is stamped on a piece of stampbord, colored, and highlighted with a white gel pen, then attached to coordinating card stock, then to the front of the book. I used my BIA machine with chocolate coils to hold my book together.

Here's some additional views of the inside

Dashing 4"x4" Christmas Flip Book

First, let me say, if you are looking for the Funky Vintage Flip Book I posted on Monday - I had to temporarily take it down - look for it to be back up real soon!

I took a break from designing for my upcoming Trim the Tree Class and made another 4" x 4" Flip Book. These are really fun to make!




If I haven't talked you into "needing" Jolliest Time of the Year yet, you might be putting in on your list. Not only am I using it on the Flip Book shown here, but I'm also using it in my Holiday Card Classes and in the Trim the Tree Class. So, you'll be getting lots of mileage for your purchase.


Email me today, to order your set, or sign up for my upcoming classes.


The chip board is from the On Board Trimmings in the Holiday Mini, these have been mailed - you should be receiving yours soon. If you haven't gotten your copy, please drop me an email.

Flip Book Album

I was recently sent this Flip Book Pattern, and made the base for my book, but it had been sitting here unfinshed, until I was inspired by my friend Rose to finish mine. I used the Au Chocolat DS paper in the Spring Mini, along with the following cardstock - Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Creamy Caramel. The Scrap Map Layouts can be found here.
