Good morning, friends!! Happy 4th of July to my American friends. Today, I'm excited to share my latest flipbook I created using Simple Storie's Simple Vintage Land of the Free collection. This collection is filled with patriotic elements to document your favorite memories.
To begin, I covered the 4x6 Navy Flipbook using the star print patterned paper. I used a pencil to trace the paper around the cover of the album and then I cut it out and glued the patterned paper to the cover of the album. Next, I added the sheer ribbons and die cut.
I LOVE the green pickup truck with all the festive images. I used this image a few times throughout the album! I popped the "remember" sticker up using foam strips and glued the stars below the title. For the bottom page, I cut the flower die cut in half to create a fun border. Next, I added the die cut sentiment and foam heart stickers. Tip: The foam stickers from the Sea and Sand collection works for this collection!
I cut a few patterned papers to measure 4x6 for the page inserts and then added the die cuts and stickers. Usually, I follow a format when I create these fun flip books. The left-side of the album includes embellished/title pages and the photos go on the right-side. This helps me keep the album simple and easy to complete.
I cut two 3x4 journaling cards and folded it in half to create a flip page for the top page. This is a fun way to create interactive pages. Next, I embellish the inside of the flip with tags, die cuts and photos.
The embellishments are so fun and perfect! I used a lot of them throughout the album. I added a few foam strips to a few die cuts to make them pop up to add dimension to the pages. I used the decorative brad from the Sand & Sea Collection.
I used the die cut postal stamp die cuts and sticker tabs to fill in the white space at the bottom of the layout. Next, I placed the border sticker at the top of the page to frame the page and make it more festive.
I created a flip-page by cutting a 3x4 card and folding it to shorten the length a bit and then I mounted it behind the 4x6 base to create the flip. Next, I added a few stickers and die cuts to fill in the white space.
What do you think about this collection? What is your favorite patterned paper? I love them all...but if I had to pick one, I'd say the star print paper is my favorite.
Here's another fun flip page I created at the top. I plan on tucking a 3x4 photo from this year's festivities in there!
Thank you so much for visiting and I hope I inspired you to make a flipbook of your own, using your favorite photos over the years.
