Another new vendor for Creative Cards and Crafts! Graphic Products Corporation is in Carpentersville, IL and we found them in St. Louis at Creativation. They not only sell large sheets of handmade papers, they have several collections in 8.5x11 size, so watch for these beautiful papers to appear after our painting is done at the store! Also, a neat shimmery Origami paper has been ordered. The 8.5x11 packs are perfect for all of our cardmakers!
