    I'd love to win this but it asks a couple of questions & I wonder if any of our craftier members might be able to supply some options please?

    What is your favourite papercraft technique?

    Who is your favourite papercraft manufacturer?

    I had a look at some of the magazine fronts & saw 'Decoupage' which sounds like a technique but after a bit of a Google around I have to admit being stumped as to papercraft manufacturers? :confused:

    Would love to give this a try & the prize would be an ideal (moneysaving) opportunity to do so if I can get some suggestions :D

    Thanks all :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    Velvet I hope this helps:
    Decoupage
    is the paper craft technique of cutting and pasting paper to any surface to create an image or a pattern. Decoupage paper craft technique is an extremely versatile paper craft technique - it can be used on a variety of surfaces from glass to wood and anything in between. It's a simple process too - just glue (with either diluted white glue or decoupage medium) cut paper to a clean surface. The most difficult part in decoupage paper craft technique is to ensure that your applied paper is smooth. You can use a pin to pop air bubbles and smooth out the paper with your fingers or a soft rag. A final coat of decoupage, glue or acrylic varnish should be used to protect the applied papers. Loads more techniques here

    As for a manufacturer I've found these:

    Le Suh: From here: http://www.crafts2you.co.uk/le-suh-a4-size-3d-decoupage-sheets-all-59p-218-c.asp
    The last link will give you loads more.

    Good luck
