These days, if you are not a mum yourself, you're an aunt, a grandmother, a girlfriend or a sister. Stylish baby gear, baby boutiques and customised baby gifts are everywhere, and women are really celebrating their beautiful bellies and their beautiful babies. This book offers a wide range of beautiful paper-based projects to help them, from lovely handmade birth announcements to journals, picture frames, baby memory books and growth calendars. This inspiring new book is the first in a series of volumes targeted to the large and growing paper arts and book-making audience. Each book in this new series, including "Designing Handmade Crafts for Giving", features sophisticated techniques and paper art projects for stylish crafters. There are many craft books devoted to babies that cover knitting, crochet and general craft gifts, but this is the first to cover all the paper-based items that new mothers want and need, making it a comprehensive source of information for anyone wanting to treat the new baby in the family.
