We’ve been featured on Carte Fini’s blog! Mike, the owner of Carte Fini, has written a fantastic piece on his experience at our Masterclass last month in Monroe, Washington. If you don’t know who Mike is or what Carte Fini is, let us tell you: they’re the primary distributor of Italian crepe paper in North America. They carry 60 g, 140g, 160g, 180g and metallic crepe paper. They were also a vendor and sponsor at our Masterclass.
If you have a chance, head on over to our favourite paper supplier and read his experience at the Masterclass.
