Today I have a simple flip book for you. I used the adorable Easter Dots Heavy Acetate for the covers on my book.
On the front I used the Bunny Basket Doodle Cuts stand alone die set to make the little Easter basket and make it into a shaker. I filled it with the new Bunnies and Chicks Shakers. I also used the Colored Eggs Shape Sprinkles in my basket.
The book has a mix of flat pages and pocket pages. I used a mix of the coordinating solid cardstock and coordinating Petite Prints for my page bases. I matted them with white photo mats and a mix of the 12x12 and 6x6 Bunny Hop papers.
The pages in the book are 5" x 7" inches. There are three dividers cut from the Easter Dots Acetate and I added tabs from the Bits and Pieces pack.
On some of the pages I used the tag sheet from the collection to make pockets. I added Chit Chat, Icon stickers, and stickers from the This and That sticker sheet to decorate the pages.

I am excited to share a new piece of happy mail with you today. I created a birthday themed flip book with the Lots O Luck collection and I think it will make its recipient smile, don't you agree?
The base is made from one sheet of 12x12 textured cardstock (in Cotton Candy) and the patterned papers are cut from the 6x6 Lots O Luck Paper pad.
I used a variety of embellishments from the collection, including die-cuts, shaped Sprinkles and stickers. I also added some cute clips, washi tapes and twine. You will find a more detailed list of supply at the bottom of the post. They are hard to see here but I love the gold foil touches throughout this collection!
I created a couple pockets to fill with goodies and there are a few additional surprises when you lift the flaps. Here's a look with everything unveiled:
This short video will show you better the interactive bits (and the closed flip book):
Whether it's for Saint Patrick's Day or not, I hope to have inspired you to create some happy mail with the Lots O Luck collection! It's really so much fun!

Inspired by the Pun Pal patterned paper from the So Punny collection, I decided to make my very first flip book destined to be mailed to a crafty pal:
All the papers used to build this book are from the 6x6 So Punny paper pad so the closed book, as seen above, measures 6x6 inches. On the cover, I layered a mini doily and a cut-out (also from the paper pad). I embellished with some of my favorite Sprinkles: the So Punny Tiny Hearts!
Let's open the first part:
The book is meant to be fun to open, unfold and flip through so it has interactive parts that are hard to see with photos. For this reason, you will find a quick video at the bottom to better show you the moving parts. On the left page, I created a pocket and a tag on which I have attached a Doodle Pop package (using a tiny clip so it can easily be removed). Die-cuts are from the Chit Chat pack. The right page as a card from the So Punny Create-A-Card pack. I have used several throughout the book... How cute are those shaped Sprinkles on top of it?!
By opening another flap, you find a card to flip open to read a note (embellished with more of my favorite Tiny Hearts) and a pocket decorated with different washi tapes and Glitter Sprinkles. I put a Jelly Clip on top to go with the soda theme of this flap.
Now here is a look at the book fully open:
I adhered an open envelope in the center part and inside is a card holding goodies and a washi tape sampler, all attached with a Doodlebug clothespin. On the front, I added a bigger doily, die-cuts and other favorites: matte Sprinkles (from the Cream & Sugar collection). They look like candy!
On the bottom flap is a treat bag filled with yellow doilies that I attached with a Cute Clip. The whole book is tied together with some red and white Chunky Twine.
Now take a look at the quick video:
I had so much fun creating this project and if you have any questions about it, do not hesitate to reach out to me here in the comment or on Instagram.
