Using Foto Flaps to make a “Hidden Door"

Outdoors and More Scrapbook Décor’s Foto Flaps are great for not only quickly and easily adding additional pictures to any scrapbook layout, but they can also be used to make a fun “Hidden Door” full of embellishments with pictures hidden underneath in four easy steps.

First thing, decide whether you want to place your hidden door horizontal or vertical. Next, decide whether you will use Outdoors and More’s Portrait or Landscape Foto Flaps. Both Portrait and Landscape style Foto Flaps can be used to open up horizontal or vertical.

Second, cut a 4”X6” paper, the perfect size to fit in all Foto Flaps. Choose a paper that coordinates well with the scrapbook paper you will be using on your layout.
Third, design your paper to coordinate with your layout. This will be your “Hidden Door” cover. For this example, we made a campfire. This can be done with watermelons, Christmas presents, birthday presents, pirate chests, ocean waves and many more ideas; just let your imagination run wild!
Fourth, layer multiple Foto Flaps on the plastic page protector of your chosen Scrapbook page layout, and add your decorated “Hidden Door” cover to the top Foto Flap. Pull off the white strip, and it will self-attach to the plastic. Then fill the rest with your own photographs. Want to add more photos after you are done? Just layer more Foto Flaps and stick your decorated “Hidden Door” cover to the top most Foto Flaps.
