After making a crepe paper swatch sheet and flower pattern labels for our Crepe Paper Flowers master class, we decided these printables would be useful for all of our members. So today we’re sharing them with you!
We are also going to be doing a Facebook Live on our private page for members today at 11 am PST, which you can now view below. During this time we will chat with you about how to use these printables to help you keep track of your crepe paper colors and keep your flower projects nicely organized. We will also be sharing a sneak peek of the mini courses we’re working on for you and giving you a Craft Circle update!
Instructions
Download the PDFs below. The crepe paper swatch includes three templates — one for extra-fine, one for heavy, and one for double-sided crepe paper. Simply print and then cut a small square of each crepe paper color you have (or use your scraps!) and glue onto the swatch sheet.
To edit the flower labels, download the font Lora. Once you’ve titled your flower labels with the name of the flower you’re working on, print them out and adhere them to individual bags or containers that will hold your flower pieces.
Are you having trouble? Feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you out.

This is a bit off topic to swatch templates, but for shipping, do you
ship to Australia?
We do ship to Australia. 🙂
What’s the best way to attach the crepe paper swatches to the cardstock? I was thinking of using a glue stick, but that seems like it wouldn’t be sticky enough for the heavy crepe paper.
I used Aleene’s white glue for the extra fine (just give it time to dry) and hot glue for the heavy.
Thank you so much for this. I am truly looking forward to creating beauty and sharing with friends and loved ones.
You are so welcome and we are happy you are here!
Hi Lia + Team! Any chance there’s a felt swatch card on the horizon? TIA!
Best,
Jaclyn
There is one coming! We had to see which colors are discontinued this year. 🙂
HI Lia! Can you tell me the color name of that last swatch on the extra fine?
That’s our limited edition Dusty Coral, but it is now unavailable so we left it off the PDF template 🙂
I swear I saw a template for cutting out the pieces to fit in the swatch template. I can’t find it anywhere.
Hi Sara! We didn’t create anything like that so I’m not sure where you saw it. They’re just 1×1 squares 🙂
Thank you for this informative information piece. It is very helpful to become better aquointed with your products. Today you answered several of my questions. I also love the spirit of joy and community that blossoms in all of the projects you all create and present. When I can’t sleep at night I find my mind takes a rest as I contemplate new projects I want to learn. I feel it has been for me a very meaningful syncrinicity that I found the Lia Griffith site as it has really spoken to my soul. Not to be dramatic, only honest, but this has been one of the worst years of my life. In fact I was lonely and struggling with a place to rest my mind. Now I rest my mind on flowers and developing new confidence and skill in creating. Thank you to all of you, thank you!!
Thank you for your sweet words, Sandra! I’m so glad you’re part of our community 🙂
This is a wonderful idea.
Thanks so much Lia

Of course, I’m glad you find it helpful!
Can’t wait for the felt swatch card!
Oh, that’s awesome! Looking forward to the felt color swatch! Thx!
Hi! I loved this for the crepe paper! I also make felt flowers and have been purchasing the Lia Griffith felt lately. I think having a color swatch for the felt would be a great idea too! I’ve ordered so many different colors/shades, I’m having trouble figuring out which is which. 😳 It’s sometimes hard to figure it out by what is on the computer monitor because of color variations. But a color swatch like this would solve that. I know I could make my own, but yours looks so nice!
Hi! We have one of these in the works 🙂 Hoping to post it in a couple weeks!
Oh, I’m sorry, I just checked and noticed that there was an older cypress and a newer one. Sorry!
No need to apologize!! I appreciate you double-checking with us so we can all make sure it’s correct!
Sorry if I’m wrong, but I thought that juniper and cypress were different colours, as you can buy them both in different kits and I have both and they appear different colours, but the extra fine template said they were the same. Sorry, I was just confused.
Thanks!
Hi LIA & Team:
Extremely valuable to cut out swatches. I went through and labeled my Crepe Paper. I bought a shoe storage system made of fabric but with shelves. The packets fit perfectly into the shoe holder. I did come across a “Pine” crepe paper – is there another name for that.
Hi Eileen! I’m so glad this is working for you, and I love your solution for storage! Yes, there’s a note on Heavy Evergreen that it’s also known as Pine from the Winter Garden collection 🙂
Thank you so much! I have just cutting squares for an hour to make my time so much more valuable now!!
Yay so glad to hear it 🙂
Thank you so much for adding the video from the live on here 🙂
You’re so welcome 🙂
Hey Lia,
I am not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but after I downloaded the swatch chart template, and proceeded to print it, the switches (all 3 of them) did not have any color. All 3 templates were white. I am a member and have not had any problems downloading and/or printing your templates in the past. Any suggestions you or your team may have would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time, and all of your shared creativity! You are truly inspirational, not only to me, but many!
Hi! Correct, this is a blank template for you to add your own actual crepe swatches too. There is too much variation in color from printer to printer, so any scanned & printed color swatch will likely be too different from the real colors.
Thank you Lia and Anna – I love them all. I’ve had a go at making all of those flowers but will definately sign up for classes as I love joining in with all the other members……and of course all of you! Thank you for the labels and colour swatch charts too.
I’m so glad you will join us!!
My face hurts from smiling for the 30 plus minutes that this video ran. And it’s a good hurt. In fact, I meant to say this before – I find myself smiling EVERY time I watch Lia and team’s videos. Thank you for bringing so much joy to my life!
Also, to add on to the question someone asked about starter packs for felt projects, would it be possible to create a swatch sheet for your felts? I am just as enamored with your felts as I am with your crepe paper and have now accumulated quite a collection of felts. I started thinking about creating a swatch sheet after I realized how useful the crepe paper swatch sheet has been for me.
Best regards.

We love love love hearing this, Marina! Your joy brings US joy 🙂 And yes, we are working on a felt & floss swatch template! Hoping to have it up in the next week or two.
Thank you! Enjoyed the video today. Cannot wait for the next class and all the exciting things you did not tell us about!!
So glad to hear it! Fun things ahead 😉
Lia, I love the fact that you created the project label template. After taking the Master Class (which I loved!) I wanted to have more labels for other flowers from your site. I tried to make some like yours but they just weren’t the same….lol So thank you for doing this.
Ellen
You’re so welcome, Ellen! This was a suggestion from another member that we just loved 🙂
Thank you.
You’re welcome!
