The Garden Party Cupcake Mini Album Tempate

Hope you enjoy making this album.

And here are the instructions for making the album.

1. Open the free digital scrapbooking template file and duplicate the file .
2. Now drag the digital paper of your choice onto the duplicate template.
3. Position your paper layer over the 'frosting' layer of the template and clip them together (Ctrl+G then Ctrl+E)
4. Do the same thing for the base of the cake.
5. Now merge the two layers together (Layer>Merge Visible)

6. Tip: If you'd like to get a visual step by step instruction of this technique you can find it in Step by Step Digital Scrapbook Intermediate Tutorials 11.
   

7. Duplicate this file and flip the image horizontally (Image>Rotate>Flip Horizontally)
8. You've now made a double page spread.
9. Repeat the above steps using the same papers or using complementary papers. I made my album using different papers from the Garden Party Kit as they all coordinate so well together.
10. You can now print and cut these pages out and add photos and embellishments using paper scrapbooking techniques, or you can use the cup cake shaped pages as backgrounds to create digitally scrapbook pages for your album before printing them out, as i have done.
11. Whichever approach you use I recommend you use a 190-240 gsm weight paper. I usually use a satin or gloss finish to get a really rich color. And make sure you choose the best quality print mode.
12. Once you've cut out your pages it's time to assemble your album.
13. Arrange your pages in the order you want. You will notice that the left pages are different to the right pages. So make sure you match them up correctly.
14. Now glue the pages back to back
15. And finally punch a hole through all the pages at the edge wher they meet in the centre. Insert a jump ring or tie with some ribbon and you've got a cute mini album.

Have Fun
