My latest creation… #christmas cards! #crafts #paper #diy

My latest creation… #christmas cards! #crafts #paper #diy

  • My hand-crafted pop up cards! These are in Japanese and say “arigatou,” which means “thank you.” I decorated the front with origami paper to enhance the Japanese feel. I’ve been cutting these by hand, but soon I will get a die-cut machine to do all the dirty work. What do you think? Would you buy one of these if you saw them on Etsy?
