Cupcake Shaped Birthday Mini Album with Doodlebug

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project and this week I created a birthday mini album in the shape of a super cute cupcake. It's such a unique little scrapbook and perfect for photos of a celebration, the birthday girl, family and friends, the cake, presents, and decorations!

I made this with the adorable Fairy Tales Collection and the new Cupcake cut file (links below.) To start, I cut the front and back covers out of thin chipboard. I cut 4 pieces out and adhered them together (2 and 2) to make the covers more sturdy. Then I glued chunky twine in limeade around the outer edge. 
 

Next, I added the Pixie Dust and Rainbow Love prints from the 6x6 paper pad, the balloons and Happy Birthday die cuts from the Odds & Ends, and a bit of twine to the balloons. But my favorite part was adding those fun glitter sprinkle dots!

Inside the front cover, I added the Happy Birthday to You sticker from the This & That sheet. The unicorn may be one of the cutest Doodlebug critters ever with its rainbow mane - she's from the Odds & Ends.

I love enamel shape sprinkles. I almost wanted to save that little strawberry above, but it looked so cute on top of the ice cream, I left it there. I'll have to get another package so I can get another strawberry, LOL.

I added the adorable gingham treat bag this page and tucked a photo mat (or journaling card) inside. The heart die cut and enamel sprinkle work great as a little tab.

I used a mix of 12x12 and 6x6 papers throughout the album. I love the contrast of the pattern sizes. These larger polka dots next to the teeny tiny flowers, rainbows, and unicorns are so fun.

On this last page, I created a little 2x2 inch flip-up card (aka ... the flippie) for photos. Then I glued 3 colorful boutique buttons at the bottom of the page.

Look how cute this cupcake shaped mini album is sitting out on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. These are perfect for showing off your scrapbooks and cards, and ... turn them into fantastic decor pieces!

This was such a fun mini album to make. I hope I've inspired you to create something amazing using cutting file shapes. There are so many possibilities.
