The captivating Willow craft range by SANTORO® is inspired by nature and the world of storytelling, these evocative artworks express states of mind through their portrayal of compelling female figures, harmoniously interwoven with flora and fauna, and are heightened by bold colour palettes.
Offering a glimpse of secret gardens and the untamed mysteries of the heart, the artworks are a celebration of nature, beauty and femininity in visual poetry.
The collection includes premium papers, clear stamps and embellishments such as peacock feathers, wooden shapes, steel dies and embossing folders.



Firstly the ladies cut pieces of patterned cardstock following the template designs for each card.They can be downloaded by following the link
