Father’s Day is quickly approaching and what better way to jump start a design project!

For this design project, I created a 5.5” X 8.5” mini album inspired by the very dapper “Man Card” paper collection from @photoplaypaper. This collection certainly inspires a masculine themed project with a bit of gentlemanly class and whimsy.

The album features lots of pockets and tuck spots which highlight the many cut-a-parts and sticker elements from the collection. A five-page pocket album design also features two large tags that pullout from the top and sides of each pocket page. To tie in the “dapper” look in the papers, I styled a menswear looking vest pocket on the inside cover. With the addition of buttons and some chain details completing the look, it is a good opening page for the album.

Other features include a full pullout of 5 photo mats (10 including the other side) in the back of the album, a multi-functional belly band, and metal hardware closure.
