Be the first to use NiNi concepts brand new paper line "Tea Break"!

Are you attending CKU-J? Or another special event this autumn?
NiNi concepts, in collaboration with Shalala Mart, have created a delightful project to help you record these precious memories. In the class you'll learn how to create an adorable accordian mini book with a twist, using only 2 sheets of cardstock, NiNi concepts newest paper line "Tea Break", some custom designed accents and some clever application of Glossy Accents, ready for the event. This mini book is no one hit wonder however - it's a format you can use again and again!

Shalala Mart is a fabulous scrapbooking store located in Suita, just 10 minutes by train and on foot from Shin Osaka Station, so why not drop by and take the class? I can't wait to see you there!

10 Ways to Customize Your NiNi T-shirt

'The Sweet Life' and AU Style

Our new line took a few twists and turns on the road to reality and ended up as something completely different! (Not to worry though, those sneak peeks I showed you back in December haven't disappeared completely, they've just been put on the backburner for a little while...) Why the change? Well around the time of the last post, AU Style contacted us about being featured in their March issue. The only problem - those papers made me think of winter not spring. So it was back to the drawing board or rather Photoshop and Illustrator and many more days and nights of numb bum.


Deciding on the colour scheme is one of the most enjoyable (and hardest) parts of designing a new paper line. Colour is so subjective and personal. All of these colours say spring to me: brown earth, fresh green leaves and foliage and lots of colourful flowers...and ultimately go together to create NiNi concepts newest paper line, 'The Sweet Life'.

New Paper Designs - Sneak Peek!


Because I keep being asked what's coming next, after 'Cocktail 5', here is just a taste of what our new line looks like. After countless hours of playing around in Photoshop and Illustrator late into the night and some severe cases of numb bum (and brain on occasion!), these designs got the go ahead and will be heading off to the printers soon...YIPEE!
I can't wait to see the proofs - there's something so incredible, so satisfying about seeing a design turn into an actual product :)
