“With Lia, you get a ton of beautiful projects from one site. It saves me time searching the web, and the project tutorials and videos are easy to follow. I definitely get my money's worth every month!” Vivian

I’m so excited today! Not only am I in LA to make my very first national television appearance on Hallmark Home and Family, I am also desperate to share some very exciting news from the Lia Griffith studio. You gorgeous people know how much I love paper. It’s where this all began for me, and designing and making with paper is my passion. So…… the team and I are preparing to launch our very own line of extra fine crepe papers, the like of which we haven’t seen on the US market before!

We have had such fun developing a range of high quality crepe papers made in Germany, in a color palette inspired by nature – think deep aubergine, soft blush and soothing green tea, crisp coral, dreamy chiffon and rich cranberry colors. Our aim with our new line of extra fine papers is to elevate crepe paper crafts from candy colored piñatas to elegant wedding crafts, home decor, party decorations and more! We’re on a mission to start a #CrepePaperRevival and you’re all invited. The pretty flowers pictured here were all made using our new crepe paper and I cannot wait to share video tutorials and patterns of each with you when we launch!

As well as 10 colors inspired by nature, the “Lia Griffith extra fine crepe paper” line also includes a collection of three printed metallics – perfect for creating this seasons on-trend crafts. Plus ten double-sided crepe papers, offering even more opportunity to create unique DIY projects. Finally, we have developed three stem tapes in white, gold and green which are perfect for making my signature paper flowers!

We will be launching our unique crepe paper line at the New York Stationery Show May 15th-18th (come see us at Booth #1311 if you’re there!) and the range will be available via Amazon.com from July 1. I will be sharing video tutorials and patterns for each of our brand new crepe paper flowers soon – so stay tuned and book mark our site so that you don’t miss out!

You can watch my episode on the Hallmark’s Home and Family show below and see some of my crepe paper creations – including my handmade crepe paper gown which made its way down to LA specially for the show!

Hugs to all of you who continue to enjoy our DIY projects, we love inspiring you to craft with us and are thrilled to share this wonderful journey with you. Love Lia xoxo

Hello,

I was wondering how many life size flowers you can make with one packet of your crepe paper?

  Hi! It just depends– what flower are you making?

looking forward to trying your beautiful patterns for my niece’s wedding in April. while signing up for your newsletter, I attempted to put in coupon code, which said was to “expire soon”, but not expired yet. the website would not take the code. Just wondering if anyone else commented on this. Thanks and thank you for your beautiful patterns and videos.

So exciting!! I am curious- have you tried painting, printing or stamping on your papers? How do they take to those types of manipulation? (I kniw these are NOT common expectations for crepe)

  I haven’t tried painting on my crepe, but it is something that has been on my radar! I will have to try it out and get back to you on that

Is this the paper that I worked with? Now that I’ve had more time and experience, it’s absolutely luxurious. Fine crepe has a mind all it’s own, but it knows better than I do!!! Can’t wait to try your doublette, too. Love the colors. I think I have every color known to woman and then–lightening stike! — Lia comes up with something new!!

        I grew up just walking distance from the “flagship” David Austen Roses gardens in Shropshire England. The scent in the summer when the hundreds of heady roses are all in full bloom carries on the air across road and meadows in our village. Cannot wait for your tutorial!! Congratulations on your new venture Lia!

I ended up making my bridal bouquet and those for my step-daughters out of crepe paper and love how they turned out – you know, once I got the learning curve down. I am seriously looking forward to expanding my repertoire beyond basic leaves and roses and your colors look heavenly. I’m a new follower and so happy to be one! Best of luck at the up coming show. I’m sure you will win many converts!

Hi Lia

Congratulations on your new line. I’m a big fan of yours. I’ve excitedly bought many items from Amazon in the past only to go to check out and discover it’s not delivered to Australia ? please tell me we can buy the paper, they sound beautiful!

Warm wishes,
Caron

Hello,
just wanted to comment.
love all your crepe paper creations.I had typed this rant about not being able to get crepe paper without ordering online.(then deleted when I finished reading your post)Will be checking out your line in July.maybe down the road it will be found at Michael’s and Joann’s. it’s weird to me with all the craft supplies that no one had made it more available sooner. Thanks

you say that you developed high quality crepe papers made in Germany. The launch will be in May.
So I have an important question: Will your crepe paper be available in Germany too?

When I tell people we’re making paper flowers they look nervous for me lol but when I show them the flowers they can’t believe they’re paper!
