Fog and Thistle Papercuts + Printable Tags

October 27, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m a huge fan of papercutting and love finding new artists in this genre. Fog and Thistle creates lovely, evocative papercuts that feature bunnies, trees, and fairytale scenes. Right up my alley! They sell both actual papercuts and prints of their work at the Fog and Thistle Etsy shop.

Also check out these super cute free printable seasonal trees tags from Fog and Thistle. The winter trees would make perfect gift tags for holiday gifts. Actually, any of the trees would be a great addition to your holiday gift wrap schemes. Download the PDF here. Tags spotted at How About Orange.

Holy awesome Halloween decoration! These papier mache pumpkins from Stolloween are beyond cool, and they actually show you how to make them over on their site. While you’re there, you’ll want to have a look around because there’s much more papier mache awesomeness to be found. Examples: Halloween 2006 and Halloween 2007. via Craftzine.
