There is something special about creating your own personal message, whether it be in the form of a birthday card, family announcement, invitation to a social event or a gift such as a handmade bookmark.

Making beautifully designed cards and invitations can easily be achieved. All you need is a few simple techniques and a combination of papers and embellishments.  Japanese papers offer the card maker an unlimited array of colours, delicate patterns and textures - infact they do a lot of the work for you.  We will be adding a gallery of finished cards, invitations and other papercraft projects shortly, many with instructions to guide and inspire you. Here are some samples.
