Gorgeous little Flip Album

What fun I had creating this gorgeous little flip album. I was inspired by a video I saw by Jen of Eve. I took her idea and then came up with my own size and ideas for the inserts.

It's great for using up all those bit and bobs you have left over from other projects, and if you keep all the scraps from one set of Stampin' Up Designer Series Papers together, to use, you can guarantee everything will just match up together perfectly.

***WARNING***

These flip albums are addictive - once you get started you keep adding a page here, a page there, a tag, a ribbon, a bow, a flower - you get my drift?? You just want to keep on adding stuff and it get's fatter and fatter. I suppose the best thing would be to make the box last and you can make it big enough to fit all your pages and embellishment in it.

I just made this off the cuff so I didn't record any measurements but if enough people are interested I can easily come up with some instructions. I'm thinking I might do this as a full day workshop in November and make it Christmas themed so watch this space.

Hello and welcome, I hope you have 10 minutes to spare to watch my latest tutorial where I can show you how to create a gorgeous cross stitch Christmas card without a strand of silk or a needle in sight.

Materials required

Card base = I used Old Olive measurements but you can choose whatever colour you prefer, cut a sheet of A4 cardstock in half so it measures are 21cm x 15cm or (8 1/4" x 5 7/8" inches) and scored at 10.5cm (4 1/8" inches)

Mat = I used Very Vanilla card stock measuring 9.5 cm x 14 cm or (3 7/8 " x 5 5/8" inches)

Here's a list of the supplies I used to make these cards. If you click on the links by each image it will take you to my online shop where you can see all the details and you can order from that link if you wish to purchase any of these products to make you very own Christmas cards.
