Making a Flip Book Part 4: Finishing Touches

This is the 4th and final part of my flip book process video.  I had fun making it and sharing my thoughts, tips and process with you.  Thank you for watching!


Making a Flip Book Part 3: Multiple Panels--Go with the flow!

In this video, I finish up the inside panels of my flip book.  Thought I could get this all done in 3 videos, but no can do.  There will be a fourth video where I will complete the flip book and share the final product.  :)


Making a Flip Book Part 2: Creating Scenes

Here I share my thought process on creating scenes that flow and tell a story.  I use die cuts to create my scenes.  However, you don't need die cuts to create your hillsides, clouds, etc...All you need is a pair of scissors and your imagination! :)


Making a Flip Book Part 1: Book Base & Paper Hinges

Hello, my friends!  I am in a flip book state of mind and decided to share my thoughts, tips, tricks and process for constructing a base using paper hinges, for building scenes and for embellishing a flip book. So, join me and let's create together.

A Very Merry Grinchmas Flip Book


     I can't believe I never shared this labor of love here.  I loved the way this flip book turned out. It was so much fun to make and a great way to repurpose boxed holiday cards and envelopes.  

Unicorn Theme Pocket Letter



     Pocket letters are such a fun, unique and creative way to correspond with pen pals, friends and family via snail mail.  The possibilities are endless and the payoff rewarding.  I love it when a pocket letter comes together exactly how I envisioned it in my mind.  



Altered Index Card

     
     Altering index cards is fun and easy.  Here is one I altered using a Gorjuss Girl mini stamp,  some die cuts and distress inks.  I love the way it turned out!
