Roya has sent us a new tutorial for a great project that is perfect for Memorial Day, Independence Day (or can be color-modified for multiple occasions!)
Enjoy!
Here is a super-easy (but dramatic) use for 180 gram Metallic Italian Crepe Paper!
Sylvie Ashton, of Leaves and Petal Crafts (@leavesandpetalcrafts), shares her instructions and templates to make these cute home decorations. Love it!!!
Thank you Sylvie 😃
Wow!...another great video DIY from one of the many talented artists that use Carte Fini paper and supplies (including PanPastel)!
Krista McPhee has been good enough to share her step-by-step video tutorial for creating life-like lavender stems! See more of Krista's art at her Insta page @kinandtonic_craft
Thank you Krista!
Roya has been busy lately!...
Spring has sprung and she is back with yet another beautiful creation to bring in this long awaited season.
Enjoy!
Nevia Ortiz of @NeviNinaYCreations show us her easy (and useful) technique for Laminating Italian Metallic Crepe Paper with a series of video tutorials. The resultant "double-sided" sheets allow crepe paper artists to then create with their own custom pieces... the variations are tremendous!
Thank you, Nevia!
The Czar Camellia tutorial was created by artist Catherine Oxley @bouqpaperflowers and is offered as a FREE tutorial! Perfect for Valentine’s Day, this flower will bring a dose of romance to your home. A gorgeous bloom that exudes luxury, passion and elegance. The rich tones of this flower are brought to life through the use of a selection of Carte Fini crepe papers, giving it an airy, yet sculpted look.
Thank you Catherine for this beautiful project!
@annachedid of Flores da Annita has brought us this fun, seasonal project. Take a look at at her video tutorial as she walks her through the creation of these whimsical trees... perfect for your holiday decorating. Cheers!
Enjoy this great DIY project from Avanti Morocha. A wonderful holiday centerpiece idea using our 60 gram crepe paper. It works extremely well with this project since this paper is lighter than conventional 180-gram crepe paper with grain that is far more subtle. Arranged in a rustic box - add a few pinecones and ornaments and voila! The holidays can come!
We received this seasonal video tutorial from Inga Ilze Peterson (Instagram: @ingailzepeterson). Learn how to make a pumpkin with Italian 180g crepe paper from Carte Fini.
The pumpkin made in the video tutorial uses papers in Peach 17A/5 and Mint Green 565. Try making one with Candy Corn Nuance 576/9 or other color combinations for a stunning holiday pumpkin display!... enjoy.
Thanks Inga!
Take a look at these whimsical crepe paper gnomes. Johanna Oliver of @black_tree_designs (Instagram) shows us, step-by-step, how to create these cute lil' guys in her video tutorial.
"... You can make them any size you want and they’ll make beautiful gift tags, place settings, tree ornaments or to decorate your mantle..."
Angela from `Flores para siempre´ (@flores.para.siempre) sent us this wonderful (and hungry) video tutorial as part of our Halloween DIY contest... We love it and hope you will try it yourself as part of your Halloween decor this year! (dig that spooky background music ;-o ...
