Meet Yeni Kim, the creator behind March Studio , who is a talented paper artist and art director. One of her most spectacular miniature scenes is a dimensional paper representation of Luxembourg Garden in Paris, crafted to honor the 2024 Paris Olympics and its opening ceremony.   

Enjoy this fresh round up of beautiful papercraft books that are out now or on the horizon, as well as supplies to have on hand the next time you need to wrap a special gift.  

Perhaps you're snowed in right now or fierce winds and rainstorms are dampening your spirits... or even if you're lucky enough to live where the weather is glorious, there's [almost] always time to enjoy a papercraft kit. It's so satisfying to make something special, try a new technique, or just plain take your mind off your cares for a couple of hours. Have a look at these potential mood lifter kits that I found on Etsy.      

Paper jewelry is anything but ordinary and it’s more popular than ever! While Valentine’s Day might inspire searches for heart-themed designs, symbols of love and artistic craftsmanship are timeless.   Modern and Minimalist Paper Jewelry   Monica Peksa (featured previously ) in Austria designs sleek, contemporary paper jewelry that's worthy of a second look. These stylish earrings feature a heart-inspired silhouette , while the pair below is elegant with its green-grey and gold color palette. Isn't it surprising that it is crafted from mundane corrugated cardboard?

A Google Alert led me to a very nice segment on CTV News about collage artist Merrideth MacDonald of Hunky Dunky Dory Paper Art . With a site name like that, I suspected it would be fun to learn more about Meredith and her hobby-turned-career of creating magazine paper collages. I wasn't wrong... she has a sense of humor as many of her Instagram post captions prove.

I've written before about my stash of handmade quilled cards that have never seen the light of day. I was thinking I might do another how-to book, but I've moved on from that idea (and the zillion hours that would be required). Instead, it's more fun to dole them out on this blog every now and then, and so today I'll share a couple more designs to give you ideas for making quilled cards that won't take a ton of time.
