Memory Protectors Flip Flaps™

Never before has it been this easy to add an interactive element to your project. Simply slide photos or other artwork into the pocket. Then attach the Flip Flap™ Memory Protector to your project with the self adhesive strip and enjoy. The photo on the left shows the Flip Flap™ being adhered on top of the 12x12 page protector. Take a look at the finished project on the right. If you do not want the adhesive to show you can cut a 4 .25‖ slit into your 12x12 page protector and adhere the Flip Flap™ tab under the journaling box. Follow these easy steps.

“Wow look how easy it is to add all of your vacation photos onto one layout!”

3.

Put your page into the page protector and mark where the top of the journaling box is by drawing a 4.25‖ line across the top. Take out the layout and place a cutting matt inside the page protector under the area you need to cut. Use a craft knife and a ruler to guide you and cut the line you just created. You can add as many Flip Flaps™ as you need. Simply use the self adhesive strip to attach them together.

4.

Place the layout back into the page protector. With the Flip Flaps™ all ready, you will gently slip the end into the slit. But first use one hand to hold up the top of the journaling box, from the inside. You should be able to place the Flip Flap™ under the journaling box.

TIP: To make this easier be sure the placement of the Flip Flap™ is easily accessible by the opening of your page protector, for most people this is the top. You will need to leave the top of the journaling box unattached so you can slip the Flip Flap™ under.

Other uses for the Flip Flaps™ This great product is not just for scrapbook pages. Here are some other fun things you can do with them:



Interactive Cards



Hand Made Mini Albums



Protect Photo’s On The Outside Of A Memory Box



Flip Page On A Dry Erase Board
