How to Use the Cascade Spacers Set
There are many creative ways to use the Cascade Spacers Set, but we recommend starting with a cascade that spans an entire 12×12 page to get the most of your layout. Use the steps below to help get you started!
Make setup simple — download the Cascade Spacers Quick Guide for size correlations.
Step 1: Identify the spacer that corresponds to your Peekaboo Pocket size and quantity, then select the coordinating spacer from your set.
Step 2: Adhere your first Peekaboo Pocket along the left edge of the clear top-loading pocket, with the tab folded behind the Peekaboo Pocket, adhesive side down.
Step 3: With the Peekaboo Pocket open, place the spacer inside the fold. Align the top “T” portion of the spacer with the top edge of the Peekaboo Pocket.
If you’re not aligning your Peekaboo Pockets with the top or bottom edge of the page, use the ruler on the spacer to position your first pocket, and the “T” at the top to keep it perfectly square.
Step 4: Build the cascade. Place the outside folded edge of the Peekaboo Pocket flush against the spacer with the adhesive strip folded back. Remove the spacer, open the pocket and firmly adhere to the page. Repeat the spacer placement process across the page to create an even, consistent cascade.
Tip: For plain pages, align the first Peekaboo Pocket on the page, then slip the clear Page Protector on for the rest. For Top-Loading Pages, align the first Peekaboo Pocket directly on the clear Page Protector.
