A Little Christmas Cuppa - Day 4.Remember the reindeer printables? Here's a couple photos to show you how they'll add just that little something to your Christmas projects!Just like the tags, these are simply cut out from the printed sheet (we used 250g paper, but 160g would do just fine, too) and then we hid the uneven edges (can't cut a straight line if my life depends on it) with lots of glitter.A simple, brown paper bag. Wrap a piece of vintage book sheet over it, add cords. (We used linen cords.) Then we added two-sided 3D tape behind the reindeer print (glue would be ok, too, we just...

A Little Christmas Cuppa - Day 5.Today's tip is a simple one, but I have noticed the simple things are often something easily forgotten or not even thought about. Embossing a vellum page on your journal. How simple, yet what a difference it makes!There's even a short how-to video on YouTube:https://youtu.be/lGo020ue0-YPaper Garden Rubber Stamp 1791 Letter:https://papergarden.fi/gb/paper-garden/1810-921-pg-rubber-stamp-1791-letter.html

Greetings from the Paper Garden!
It’s time to tell you the story of Paper Garden, unique and different from others, as all stories are. During the four years of Paper Garden Tero has been The Boss, and me, Emilia, has been there hanging around and causing as much trouble and inspiration as possible. However, even if I have tried always to stress the fact that Varalusikka and its Paper Garden are Tero’s, customers have found it difficult to understand.
