Behind the Scenes: The Paper Arrives, Production Begins, and a Sneak Peek at Samples!
Big things are arriving in the Thistlecraft workspace next week! 📦✨
Our custom master rolls are officially headed to our partner for sheeting and cutting, meaning our heavy-weight, USA-made 14-count perforated paper will finally be in our hands. Our natural kraft packaging and full-color labels arrive next week too, so we are hunkering down to turn the workspace into a full-blown assembly line!
Want to try a sample pack?
Our 8-sheet sample packs will begin shipping the week after next. They are completely free, but you must be on our newsletter list to secure one from this historic first run.

What an incredible, whirlwind of a week it has been here at Thistlecraft. After months of dreaming, planning, and meticulous tweaking, I have some monumental news to share: our paper arrives next week!
Our custom master rolls are officially headed to our partner for sheeting and cutting. Seeing this beautiful, heavy-weight 14-count paper transition from massive industrial rolls into the exact 10"x12" master sheets, ornament blanks, and motif squares you’ll be stitching on is an absolute dream come true.
Even better? Our packaging and full-color labels are arriving next week too. The Thistlecraft workspace is about to transform into a full-blown assembly line, and we couldn’t be more excited to hunker down and get to work.
