We hope you enjoy your copy of PaperCrafter — we think it’s one of our boldest issues yet, with a delectable kit filled with your favourite forest motifs, from cheeky foxes to cute badgers and secret squirrels. You’ll love applying these woodland critters to your projects and giving them a fun twist with you next paper make.
But it’s not just woodland! As always, we love to bring you a range of styles and paper accessories so you’re never restricted during your crafting journey. You’ll also find pretty flowers, mini retro flags, vintage-inspired stripy straws plus lots of other goodies including a BONUS MDF frame.

Ahead of the trend
We’ve made sure we don’t miss any of the trends either. The kit’s freebie woodland motifs and forest critters are just the thing to give your cards that on-trend edge in a really subtle style. Fans of the great British wildlife are sure to love it — but then who doesn’t like foxes, badgers and squirrels?
We’re also giving you the chance to practise and perfect your decoupage. With your MDF frame and decoupage sheets, we know you’ll create something beautiful.
