Cafe Parisian<\/em>\u00a0 – Board Book<\/h2>
By Linda Roos<\/a><\/h5>

“Hi! I’m back and it is time for a new G45LeveledUp project. Leveledup project means that I go through the old ClubG45 projects and choose one that I find inspiring and do a makeover. This time I chose a board book made by Annette Green<\/a> and it’s a ClubG45 vol 9 2021<\/a>.<\/p>

One of my favorite papers over time (there are many LOL) is the Cafe Parisian<\/em> papers<\/a> so I was so thrilled when they released this collection again as a collector edition!\u00a0 The papers are gorgeous with the combination of beautiful graphic45 flowers and all of the cakes and pralines. I guess it may be easy for me to love the papers because I am a pastry chef but I believe there are many of you out there who absolutely love these papers.<\/p>

This Board book was a nice project to make and didn’t take too long. You start by cutting the chipboard. If you cut it as I cut in the tutorial it will take 3 chipboards and not too many leftovers and I use up some of the leftovers when I make the shaker on the first side.<\/p>

In the tutorial<\/a>, you can see how I made the shaker, one on the front and also the shaker window in the middle.\u00a0 I made a mistake when I made the window, it will be a much nicer looking if you attach the acetate before you attach the pattern papers. But as I always say to my crafty friends, if we can live with the mistake then it’s ok if not make it work with something else.<\/p>

Instead of just making the holes I put some eyelets in for a nicer look, I choose some gold ones because I have some gold in the shaker.<\/p>

After decorating the pages the last thing to do is to tie the ribbons. You cut the ribbons at 10inch and you need 9 of them. Burn the edges so they won’t split in time. Put a thick pen and tie the ribbons so that you know that you have the same measurements all the way.<\/p>

Here comes a walkthrough and tutorial video.<\/p>
