You are going to love how quickly and easily this Mini Memory Book comes together with your Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers and Flip Flaps. It’s great for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, or hostess gifts. Surprise someone you love with a fun way to preserve their favorite holiday memories. Or change up the colors and theme to use for anyone and any occasion. How about a guys’ fishing trip or girls’ weekend? What a great “brag book” this would make for new parents, new grandparents, even big brothers and big sisters. The possibilities are endless.
Stampin’ Up! Products I feature in this video tutorial are the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper, card stock in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, Gold Foil Paper, and 4″ x 6″ Flip Flaps!
Finished size of this Mini Memory Book is 5 1/4″ x 6 1/2″.
The idea for this Mini Memory Book was inspired by a video I found on YouTube by Stampin’ Up! CEO Sara Douglass (@SaraDouglass). I loved it so much and couldn’t wait to try it myself, then share it with you. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I had so much fun making this Mini Memory Book for preserving holiday memories and even more fun sharing how to make it with you. I can’t to see what you all make – what theme it has and who it’s for! And I hope you enjoyed this unique way of using Flip Flaps. Just think of the possibilities of creating Mini Memory Books with all the differently sized Flip Flaps!
With Christmas just 2 weeks away, let’s all take a little time to pause for peace and quiet. And don’t forget to find joy in all the small moments – like the gently falling snow I saw out my window this morning, or Riley’s handprints on the side window where she peers in to see me when she comes to my front door. Yeah, I should clean my windows, but I love seeing those little finger prints reminding me of my blessings.
Wishing you peace, joy, and happy crafting!
