Indigo Bloom Flip Book for Tres Jolie

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing my version of the Square Flip Book found in August 2025 Card Kit. I am super excited to share with you a different version you can create. I hope you enjoy the video tutorial. Check out the links below to get your Card, Tag, and More Kit. I also have a link to the cute chipboard stamps down below for you.

August 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit Chipboard Tickets

To start out place magnets inside the inner flap to the top and bottom.

****View video tutorial for details*****

Next cover the oval portion of the frame and then glue the oval back inside the frame.

After the frame dries adhere only the top portion of the frame to the bottom of the flap. (as seen below)

Next I added ephemera to the cover that comes in the kit. I also used some chipboard tickets (link above) from the Tres Jolie Shop on top of the paper tickets. I really like how this turned out.

When you get your Flip Book in the Card Kit, there is an accordion piece. I decided to cut this in half and adhere hinges on the back of each piece.

To add a hinge take a 1 inch piece of white cardstock, score at 1/2 inch. Then adhere the folded portion to the fold of the card piece (as shown below) cut off excess. Now do the same to other half of the accordion we cut.

Now you should have a 1/2 inch flap, as shown below. Adhesive to outside of this flap.

Adhere on in the middle portion of the flip book. Now do this with the other card part by adhering the 1/2inch hinge to the fold. ****View video tutorial for details*****

Now you should have a double flaps as shown below. You can add photos on these or use then for journaling. For more details you can view the video tutorial if needed.

Now you can decorate, measure your book pages and cut out your pattern papers. I a few photos below to help with inspiration. You can always watch my video tutorial.

Below is the first opening of the book.

This portion is the middle part of the book with the side flaps opened.

Here is the inside middle part with the two flaps we created hinges for on either side.

Here is a photo of the book opened. The middle page is the pocket I recreated using the instruction from the booklet in that comes with the Flip Book. The left and right side are photo mats along with the flower ephemera and sentiments. The bottom page I used a little ephemera flower as a tuck spot.

Here is the cover all decorated using the chipboard frame along with the chipboard tickets.
