Nature's Symphony Mini Album - Stampin' Up!® Nature's Symphony

 

  The New at SU blog hop is back this month with projects made using Flip Flaps!  We are an international group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators sharing creative ways to use your supplies.  This month we are showing you fun ways to use Flip Flaps.  The hop list is at the end of my post so check out all the great ideas and leave some comment love!

  I'm not a scrapbooker nor do I tend to make 3D projects very often so when I saw we were to use Flip Flaps this month I just figured I would use one or 2 on a card to make a fun fold or shaker card.  But then I remembered an idea that used the Flip Flaps to make a mini album and thought that would be a fun way to use these photos I had tucked away.  

  I looked through my current papers and decided on the Nature Walk DSP to build my album.  The cover measures 10 1/2" x 6 1/2" - scored at 5 1/4" for the center fold.  The spine which I just used a piece of the same pattern but on the flip side is measured at 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" - scored at 3/4".

  I decorated the front and then started on the inside.

  I created a pocket out of another pattern of Nature Walk DSP to hold the journaling tag.  I embellished the front of the pocket as well.  The pocket measures 3 1/2" x 5" with the 2 short sides and one long side  scored at 1/2" to create the pocket. The journaling tag measures 3 3/4" x 4 1/2".

  Next I decided which photos were going where, added them and more DSP and embellishments to the Flip Flap pockets and peeled off the adhesive and stacked the pockets on top of each other starting from the back and working my way to the front.  I used 4 4"x6" and 2 3"x3" Flip Flaps. 

 I made this quick video showing each page and how the Flip Flaps are used for the photos and journaling.  This was a really fun project and a nice step outside my normal comfort zone.  This mini album comes together really quickly and is very simple to customize to whatever set of photos you want to use.

  Have fun hopping through with the New at SU! team!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
