“Hi, I’m Sabaa Hassan — a passionate paper crafter, scrapbook artist, and floral designer from India.

I’m the creator behind Crafter Sabaa, where I blend pastel tones, intricate layers, and interactive details to turn paper into meaningful keepsakes. My work is all about bringing stories to life — through delicate pop-up albums, interactive cards, and handcrafted elements that spark joy and wonder.

Earlier I’ve had the honor of being part of the Graphic 45 family for two wonderful years, took a short break, and now I’m so thrilled to return as a Brand Ambassador. My love for Graphic 45’s timeless papers, rich textures, and storytelling style continues to inspire me to push my creativity further with every project.

Crafting has always held a cherished place in my heart—a creative sanctuary where I find both joy and fulfillment. Among the many forms of art I love, scrapbooking shines the brightest. It allows me to weave together my passion for storytelling, photography, and hands-on creativity into one deeply personal and visually captivating expression. Each page I craft becomes a timeless keepsake, preserving life’s most meaningful moments in a way that is as heartfelt as it is beautiful.

What truly sets me apart as a crafter is my unwavering passion for growth. I’m endlessly curious, always eager to explore new techniques, experiment with diverse materials, and push the boundaries of my creativity. This constant journey of learning not only enriches my skills but also deepens the joy I find in every handmade creation.

 I’m beyond excited to share my creations with this amazing community once again!

 

Fairy Scrapbook 

Tutorial by Crafter Sabaa

 

“Hello and welcome paper crafters and lovers of all things whimsical!
Today, we’re opening the gates to a world of enchantment—one scrapbook page at a time. 

I am Sabaa Hassan aka Crafter Sabaa. Welcome to my beautiful world of creativity. Today I have a breath-taking FAIRY SCRAPBOOK for you all. 

 

If you’ve watched my latest video (if not, then you can check it at the end of this blog), you already know we’ve dipped our toes into fairyland with a delicate and dreamy scrapbook using Graphic 45 ’s Fairy Boutique Collection . This is a paper line that feels straight out of a storybook. From soft florals to dreamy fairy illustrations, it provides the perfect backdrop for telling your own magical tale—whether you’re crafting for yourself or creating a gift.

 

Now I am going to share page-wise pictures for this magical FAIRY SCRAPBOOK. I am sure, this will inspire you to pick up your scissors, gather your glitter, and start telling your own story through paper and imagination. 

 

 

 

Here’s a little peek at the finished FAIRY SCRAPBOOK, all laid out like a storybook of dreams. From the delicate cover to each carefully crafted page, this album holds whispers of magic, nature, and imagination. This pretty scrapbook is cover with original suede fabric to give it the soft feel. The cover page decorated using carefully handcrafted fabric flowers.

 

This is the Page 1 and Page 2 layout.

 

For Page 1, I have made a rectangular frame and covered it with suede fabric. This I am going to use as a picture holder on my page layout. The bottom left corner,  I have decorated using the layering technique. And at last finished with handmade flowers, micro pearls and glitter.

 

Page 2 has a big pocket, which can hold many pictures and journaling tags inside. I have decorated the top with big journaling tag from Fairy Boutique 12×12 Collection Pack  . I have decide not adding any flower arrangement on this page, because I don’t want to over fill the page. Due to the beautiful print on the tag, this page is already looking to pretty.

 

This is Page 3 and Page 4 layout

 

For Page 3, I have used tags and made it as flap. One bottom flap I have added with magnetic closure. This way it can hold both the flaps intact at the same time. Once the base was ready, I decorated the page layout using layering techniques.

 

Page 4 has a tuck-in pocket with a circle frame cut out on it. Corner of the page decorated using the floral cluster.

 

This is Page 5 and Page 6 layout

 

On Page 5, I have made a flip flop layout. the picture holder flap, I have enclosed with the ribbon and at the top part I have given some area to insert tiny tag.

 

Page 6 is a very beautifully crafted with lace pocket. To make it, I simply took a piece of cardstock and pasted laces layer by layer. And once that is done, I have added it as pocket for my page.

 

These are last two pages, Page 7 and Page 8

For Page 7, I have added the fabric covered oval frame, following the same way we added rectangle frame in page 1. Once done, I have added floral arrangement at to two slanting sides.

 

Page 8 has a pocket + flap with magnetic closure. I have added magnet on the pocket as well as on the flap so that these can stick together and can hold the inside tags secure.

Sabaa’s Tips for Creating a Fairy-Themed Scrapbook

  1. Choose a Magical Palette – Soft pastels, delicate florals, and illustrated fairies set the tone for your enchanted story. The Fairy Boutique collection offers a perfect mix of dreamy backgrounds and focal images.

  2. Layer for Depth & Interest – Combine patterned papers, lace, die cuts, and fabric flowers to build dimensional pages. Layering draws the eye in and gives each page a unique personality.

  3. Mix Interactive Elements – Add pockets, flaps, and magnetic closures to make your scrapbook not just beautiful, but functional. These little surprises make exploring the album a joy.

  4. Highlight Special Photos – Use fabric-covered frames or journaling spots to draw attention to your favorite images without overwhelming the design.

  5. Sprinkle in Whimsy – Glitter accents, micro pearls, and fairy-inspired embellishments add that final touch of magic to every page.
