#NativeBreeze #FauxStitching #AustralianFlora Hi all, here's my first papercraft post for 2020. Yes, it's already pretty much 1/4 of the way through the year, but better late than never! So on a recent trip to Kaisercraft, I saw the 'Native Breeze' collection and thought I just had to have it; it's gorgeous! It really showcases the beauty of Australian flora! I only used one patterned paper sheet of the project, but I definitely will be scrapbooking with this paper (hopefully soon)! *** First I cut out an 8 1/4 x 5 7/8 inch piece of black cardstock, scored along the middle at 4 1/8 inches and folded it in half to create a notecard that is 5 7/8 x 4 1/8 inches.

Papercrafting and self-isolation

Hi papercrafters, As you may have noticed, I have been away from blog posting for a while, and 2020 has been off to a rough start.

This helps us to reduce the spread of the virus and prevent it from reaching the vulnerable people in our communities. Given the situation, I will be spending a lot of time at home. It's also about time I get back into regular posting.  The goal is to post 1-2 times a month, with more regular posts on my Instagram: @scrapwithstardust . For the past few months, I've been writing down the craft project ideas I've had whilst commuting on the train to university, so there should be plenty to keep me busy for the next few months of self-isolation. So stay tuned for the upcoming papercraft projects! Shanika :)
