Well what do we have here, then? If you said ‘an absolute peach of a PaperCrafter’, you would be very much correct. We’ve got a healthy smattering of Christmas makes (never too early) two quartets of Tracey Daykin Jones cardmaking magic, a set of gorgeous unicorn and fairy papers, and an interview with lettering extraordinaire Julia Broughton, in which she talks about her career, her art, and her favourite TV shows. Throw in your usual selection of inspired masterclasses (coordinated stamping – it’s gonna be big), a heartwarming deep-dive into the lasting importance of sending and receiving post, and an interview with the paper airplane king, John Collins. ‘An absolute peach’ was right.

4 Interview: John Collins
Papercraft is way more than cardmaking – just take a look under any of our ‘what have you made?’ posts to spy just how varied the art can be. You don’t need to remind John Collins of this, the genuine king of paper airplane making – he’s appeared on Conan O’Brien’s super popular chat show, has given talks around the world, and currently has the most viewed video on Wired’s Youtube channel (15 million!).
