Get ready to craft in style with our Hip Hip Hooray paper collection and the Ivory Square Tag & Pocket Wrap-Around Album. Today, our talented Brand Ambassador, Tamara Morton, is sharing a project that’s equal parts adorable and practical — the ultimate Celebratory Mini Album! Using ready-made album bases means you skip the complicated measuring and jump straight to the fun part: decorating with patterned paper, ephemera, ribbons, and tags galore. Tamara didn’t stop at the pages — she added pockets, extra tags, and photo mats for maximum interactive fun, plus a special video tutorial showing how she decorated the tag inserts that come with the album. Whether you’re crafting for birthdays, baby showers, graduations, or just because, this step-by-step inspiration will have you shouting Hip Hip Hooray! at your craft table.
“Hip Hip Hooray is an amazing paper collection that has a the cuteness factor, I just love it!
I decided to use one of the ready made albums that Graphic 45 do and this one is the Ivory Square Tag & Pocket Wrap-around Album. These ready made albums are a great way to get into album making, especially if you find the measuring and making of a book daunting.
In this album you also get the square tags which I have altered a little with using the layering die (Square tag Die) to add my patterned paper. I have even use it to create a small flap at the back so as my tag can sit outside the pocket. I have a project share to show you as well as a tutorial on decorating your book and tags. The cute little ephmera pieces are a must as well as they add that extra bit of cutest to the project.” ~Tamara
