We stuffed the January issue of Making Cards & Papercraft magazine with so many projects, using our 'Hey Little Piggy' papers, we ran out of room for the end of the year!
With so many amazing free projects in the January 2019 issue of Making Cards and Papercraft magazine, we just couldn't fit them all in! We didn't want you to miss out however, so we've put them on here for you to enjoy! With an abundance of inspiration from contributor Pauline Bird, your free Hey Little Piggy Craft Paper Collection has a range of toppers to suit each month, but of course many of them are adaptable throughout the whole year!
