Carte Fini is pleased to introduce our latest Featured Artist. Rosa Carter (aka Avanti Morocha) has shared with us her beautiful Spring Topiary project.

Not only is this a wonderful springtime DIY creation, but we think you'll agree that her style is impeccable... enjoy and share...

Ciao!

Just in time for Easter...The beautiful and talented Avanti Morocha has partnered with Carte Fini to bring you this wonderful Bunny Wreath DIY project. The artist's inspiration for this piece comes from one of her favorite stores, Anthropologie. Her version features a fun and whimsical crepe paper bunny!

Create...Enjoy...Share

Happy Easter!  A perfect time to try out this holiday-inspired project by Roya... a wonderful Easter Egg decoration alternative that is inspired by customs from her native Persia. This beautiful paper floral creation has a surprise inside! 

Have fun!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!!

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!

Roya has been busy lately!...

Spring has sprung and she is back with yet another beautiful creation to bring in this long awaited season.

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!

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 ...

Paper used:

Here's a great video tutorial from Campbell Workshop showing you how to use crepe paper to make a Ball Dahlia, also known as "Pompom" Dahlia.
