Here's a short message about the Patterned Paper Pack from the designer herself, Aastha Jain:

My idea with this pack was to create something that would cater to card makers too, and as we all know, 6" x 6" is the apt size for them. The inclusion of FOILED prints adds the cherry on the top! When I was making The Flickers in 6" x 6", this idea struck that my mind, that what if I invert the colour combination, and come up with something beautiful, yet elegant, and this led to the creation of 'Reverse Flickers'. The pack has beautiful foiled patterns in Rose Gold, Gold, and in Red.

We know you've been waiting impatiently to hear who will be inspiring you here this term. It took us quite a while to shortlist our designers for this term, as we received some incredibly impressive applications and it was really difficult for us to narrow it down to EIGHT talented individuals. Presenting, the Papericious Design Team for 2018-19!

We are so happy to have Hussena stay with us for another term as our blog and social media coordinator. Hussena lives in Kolkata, India and has been a crafter and a blogger for more than 5 years now.

She always had a love for all sort of crafts since childhood but as she grew older, academics took over, and art and crafts took a backseat.
