Nursery Suite & the Baby Girl Mini Scrapbook Page & Fancy Cover


So this is the other project we did in the Class with the Baby Boy Flap Mini Book.   Apart from the Fancy Flower Punch flower - this is a CASED project of the one to the right  ... but with a story....  and with no-one (or two!!) to attribute it to - so please let me know if you know/are the originator of this - so I can not only credit you properly - but thank you too!!

I first saw this on the Display boards at the Stampin' Up! Convention in November last year - and it just took my heart away!! It certainly inspired me to buy all my ladies a set of Nursery Suite papers and Quick Accents .... but then I couldn't find a photo of the project that I thought I had taken at Convention.

So I set too designing another project using this wonderful 12x12 Scalloped Circle piece of paper... and I got really excited about my new idea... and I had even almost finished the sample for class.... and then it was Stampin' Up's regional training event in Leeds.... and Lo and Behold - what was on the Display table but the same project I had seen back in November.... so a quick photo later.... and my class stayed as per the original plan..... one day I will finish my other circular paper project that I was so pleased with ... and post it here.... so watch this space......

Please see details of The Baby Boy Mini Book posted earlier for details on the tutorial for this project. 

Nursery Suite & the Baby Boy Flap Mini Book!

So another project using the Nursery Suite papers and Quick Accent stickers.  This is an update of another favourite project of mine - namely the Flap Book of the  Newsprint mini-books. I loved this simple little book then... but I absolutely adore it now.....  I knew I wanted to do another of these books as soon as I saw this gorgeous fancy scalloped edge piece of 12x12 paper - I wasn't sure it would work ( ie line up OK...) but it SO did.....

This flap book is orienteered the other way round to the original. That is to say, it opens with a top flap rather than the original's book page format. And I added punched 1" circles down the right hand side to visually pull it together when the book is closed.... a little thing that made a HUGE difference..... 

And here are a couple more pictures to show you the inside of the book - this piece of paper is amazing!!! And you get 2 in a full pack......








Edited to Add:  I have had quite a bit of contact about the details for this.....   If anyone else would like the tutorial ...I can provide by email for £2.50 ... payable via Paypal....  ( sorry no proper Paypal/order button as yet... that is my next blog project!!)  The tutorial will also contain the Scrapbook Page & Fancy Cover due to be posted soon!!

Please just press the Email Me button at the top right of this page and I will get back to you.....

Nursery Suite & Easter Bunny Punch Art

March has been full of 3 classes' worth of projects using the Stampin' Up! Nursery Suite papers and Quick Accents stickers. These have been wonderful to use for Easter & Mothers Day projects as well as the more obvious baby projects.

So I have a number of quick posts for you - showing some of the projects we have made in the month. Some of the projects can't be posted until 1st April in any case.... as I was naughty and couldn't resist using some of my new stash from the Mini Catalogue which is due out tomorrow, 1st April...... Come back tomorrow to see the new Mini Catalogue and more projects using my new goodies.... and then there is is a BLOG HOP tooo on Saturday 2nd April at 10am...

So first up is an updated version of my Ferrero Rocher Treat Holder for Easter.... with the prettiest Easter Bunny ever....   I was lucky to get a gorgeous swap from Joanne of a super cute punch art bear ( which you can see here.....  Joanne's Bear ) at our SU! training day in Leeds at the beginning of the month- which inspired me to make the Easter Bunny you see here.  Joanne is a very talented fellow demonstrator - we ALWAYS like each others stuff - don't we Jo !!!!!

This box is soon to be filled with Mini Eggs for Molly for her Easter Treat ......yummmm!! Hope she will like it!?
