Cupcake Album Using New Kit & Mask Freebie

Hello there! I am really excited to share with you a new hybrid project using my latest collection - Krafty Birthday. I'll share the previews soon. First I want to announce the second winner of the pencil case giveaway

Congratulations to AngieS, thanks for the comment Angie!

There's one for boys and one for girls!

I was inspired by the colours from my daughters birthday last year in December. I wanted to create something fun and filled with eye candy. I hope she will appreciate this when she gets older.

More pages, closeup shots and credits are available here - CLICK!

If you would like to create something like this, here's something I used that could help you. A mask-

It was super simple to use, and I am very happy with the results.

Follow these design steps if you don't know where to start -

1. Design your pages in photoshop, with patterned papers and your photos. TIP: make sure you treat your photos before playing with them on the cupcake mask. It just keeps things simplified with the layers.
NOTE: The cupcake mask is a little bigger than the actual shape (for trimming purposes) Just remember not to place text too close to the edge, etc.

2. Appropriately name and save psd versions. Then save as Flatten versions in a folder named 'TO PRINT' or something relevant.

3. Get them printed at an A4 size.

4.Cut out your shapes.

5. Use an acid free craft glue, and apply an even coat on the board before placing your paper over it. Then use a soft cloth to smooth the paper out and push out any air bubbles.

6. Use a kraft knife to trim the excess paper from around your cupcake board.
TIP: Make sure you use a sharp kraft knife and self healing cutting mat when trimming your papers.

(OPTIONAL) You can sand and paint your edges to give it more of a finished look. I'm not too fussed, I like the look of rough edges.

7. Then the really fun bit - embellishing your pages!
