We are delighted to announce that Ashley Thompson has won the chance to create her very own collection of papercraft products with our friends at CraftStash!

This prize is part of the annual Cardmaker of the Year competition and was voted for by you. It was a close-run thing, with fantastic ideas from all four of our talented finalists, but Ashley's ideas proved the most popular and she is now working with the CraftStash Product Development team to create a capsule collection which will be available to buy next year!

The details of Ashley’s collection are still a closely-guarded secret, but she loves taking inspiration from nature and architecture and her style is classic and mature, so maybe that will give you a hint. You can remind yourself of her brief here.

Follow Ashley's CraftWorld profile for lots of lovely crafty inspiration!

We’ll be keeping track of the progress of her collection here on CraftWorld so make sure you keep checking back for updates!

These were the gorgeous makes which saw Ashley crowned as one of the four Cardmaker Of The Year 2021 winners - and we can see why!
