The Founder behind Papercraft Hugs & the Cardmaker's Playroom

Hi! I'm Shelley!

I'm a relaxed, playful crafter, and I've been creating for more than 15 years. I believe anyone can make cards that get a "wow", and you don't need a big budget to do it. Use what you already own, play with colour, and let mistakes be part of the magic.

I teach in a clear, encouraging way, so you can enjoy the process without worrying about perfection. That's what this Palooza is all about: having fun, making cards, and trying something new.

What people are saying ...

I Can't Believe I Made Them!
