Let us imagine how tall will be these famous landmarks built in various scales:

So what do you say?

Twelve Months - Twelve Cut-out Models!

So as I wrote earlier, yesterday we received a freshly printed calendar featuring Dutch canalhouses from CafePress. Shipping time was 12 days, which is not bad for economy delivery from the US to Europe. Sure you can get it overnight if you are in the US, and CafePress frequently runs free shipping deals. Packaging was standard – rigid cardboard, calendar itself wrapped in a film, no bends whatsoever.

A first look at the calendar was great, and so was the second! Colors are rich, even and smooth. Cardstock is sturdy, much more thicker that we believed it would (meaning that’s even better for long-lasting paper toys).

The only flaw was with a placement of a hanging hole, it was punched a bit closer to the graphics as we planned. But now it’s corrected – we uploaded new graphics so it should be right from now on.

Take a look at the photos on flickr, and enjoy Happy New Year Crafting from CafePress & Paperlandmarks!

As you may have noticed we use different papers for our models. So where do these papers come from and what they do look like?

Most of the models are printed on- or cut out- of the beautiful two-sided Curious Metallics boards produced by Arjo Wiggins Fine Papers Ltd. These papers have very nice looking surface with a slightly shiny metallic overcoat.

The same quality shimmer surface is also for Stardream Gold paper made by Italian manufacturer Gruppo Cordenons. Stardream is a two-sided coated paper finely coated with pearlescent pigments.

The main characteristic of these papers is the particular multicolor surface, that gives unusual pearlescent, metallic, iridescent or shimmering effects that change chromatic dominant depending to the observation angle. All the papers are acid free, manufactured with ECF pulp sourced from sustainable managed forests.

Over the years producers and distributors have changed several times the names for the same range of paper so we decided to stick to our very own names which will remain the same and won’t confuse the customers. Here is our translation to manufacturers’ codes:

Producer	Series	Producer’s color name	Image	Our code	Our color name
