Hello Crafty Friends!
I'm posting pictures of the Mini Flip Book that I made on Thursday night. I've used just about everything from the Bee Mine Suite - the stamps, the punch, the papers, the ribbon, and the doo-dads. All in a cute 6" x 6 1/4" Flip Book.
There's no chipboard covers with this flip book. No hinge system to make, no individual pages. It's technically a folio, but no matter what we call it - it's an easy enough little book to make!
Ignore the fact that I glued my front cover flap on a little too far to the right. :( I'll have to live with it. It's cute enough for a person.

I'm not giving step-by-step instructions on how to build this - you'll need to watch the video for that. But what I am going to post is two sets of paper measurements to cut/score.
This first set here is the ORIGINAL measurements, using 12" x 12" cardstock for the book base. These measurements will give you 1/4" spines on the left and right sides. I put pictures, layered on Very Vanilla cardstock in my original flip book, and it is tight...The album is definitely a little puffy, so I wanted to increase those spine sizes a little bit when I modified the cut sheet.
This cut sheet is what I used to make the Bee Mine Flip Book during my video. I modified the cut/score measurements to use 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock for the base, and to increase the side spines to 3/8". It's a smidge taller. I also added two pieces of embossed cardstock the front flap layers, which adds even more stability to the book. Also changed up how I added the ribbon closures, and added a layer to the very back of the book, to cover where the ribbon is attached.
Here are pictures of all of the inside flips and flaps. All I've added is designer series paper. I did not add any pockets, tuck spots, or tags, but you could certainly add to your heart's content! I will likely add more bees and doo-dads AFTER I add pictures and maybe some journaling.
Very back cover has a layer of dsp and Petal Pink cardstock, which is covering up the ribbon.
