Scrapbooking ~ Papercrafts ~ Mixed Media Shows

Highlights from the Pakenham Show

By

The From Picture to Page and Beyond Papercraft Show returned to Pakenham on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May 2025, transforming the Cardinia Cultural Centre into a vibrant celebration of papercraft, scrapbooking, and mixed media art. Over two fun-filled days, crafters of all ages and skill levels came together to share their passion, get inspired, and explore the latest trends in the creative world.

Visitors enjoyed a wide range of hands-on experiences, including make-and-take projects, mini-classes, and demonstrations by talented expert crafters. It was the perfect opportunity to try new techniques, ask questions, and get tips directly from the pros.

The show was also a shopper’s paradise, with stalls packed full of crafting supplies, tools, and exclusive products from much-loved retailers and local traders. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made it easy for everyone to mingle, swap ideas, and connect with fellow creative minds.

A highlight of the weekend was our “Autumn Palette” ATC (Artist Trading Card) swap, which brought together a wonderful group of participants to share and exchange their miniature works of art. The creativity on display was truly heartwarming!

Whether you’re a passionate papercrafter, an experienced scrapbooker, or just curious about getting started, the Pakenham Papercraft Show offered something special for everyone. We can’t wait to see you at the next show!

Here are a few of the highlights with our fantastic crafting community and retailers!

  • P2PCrafts Retailers Lanyards

And a few more!

  • Live, Love & Craft Papercrafts

A few of the fabulous CLASSES that were held throughout the two day event! There were SO many activities that we didn’t get photos of all of them!

  • Stampin' Up! Make and Take

And our lovely venue – the Cardinia Cultural Centre

  • Papercrafts Show at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, Pakenham

A HUGE T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U to all of the crafters and retailers who attended our papercrafts show! We had crafters from all across Melbourne and further afield.

It was lovely to catch up with many of you and meet many more for the first time. To put faces to names I have only seen on Facebook or on emails; to hear of your crafting achievements and life challenges. We really do have a fabulous community of crafters!

I would LOVE to keep in touch via our Facebook Group Papercraft Posse.

Bendigo Show Highlights

By

The From Picture to Page and Beyond Papercraft show in Bendigo, held on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 March 2025, was a vibrant celebration of papercraft, mixed media, and scrapbooking. Taking place at the Bendigo Showgrounds, the event gathered crafters of all ages for two exciting days of creativity. Attendees enjoyed hands-on activities such as make-and-take sessions, mini-classes, and inspiring demonstrations by expert crafters.

The show was a hub for shopping the latest crafting supplies, meeting friendly traders, and soaking in a buzzing atmosphere of creativity and camaraderie. It was the ideal space for crafters to connect, create, and discover new ideas.

A standout feature of the event was our Things with Wings ATC swap, which saw a lovely turnout of enthusiastic crafters exchanging these charming little artworks!

Here are a few of the highlights with our fantastic crafting community and retailers!

  • Our Creative Director - Michelle

And some more!

  • Victorian Parchment Retreats

And just a selection of the fabulous CLASSES that were held throughout the two day event!

  • Jcraft class

And a HUGE T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U to all of the crafters and retailers who attended the event! We had crafters from the local Bendigo region, as well as people from Warrnambool, Ararat, Shepparton, Geelong, Seymour, Gippsland and all across Melbourne!

It was so wonderful to catch up with all of you! To put faces to names I have only seen on Facebook or on emails; to hear of your crafting achievements and life challenges. We really do have a fabulous community of crafters!

Recap of the 2023 Pakenham Show

By

The Pakenham Craft Show was abuzz with excitement!

Our recent show in Pakenham show was a huge success, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the excitement in the air! It was fantastic to hear the crafter chatter as they discovered new craft supplies, watched the amazing demonstration and got hands-on with the huge range of classes and Make & Takes on offer. The Cardinia Cultural Centre was the perfect venue for our indoors craft show and the weather was mostly kind to us!

Please enjoy some snapshots of the weekend.

  • Eclectic Images
  • Jcraft
  • Peninsula Paper Craft Boutique

Our talented retailers provided many mini-classes, make-and-takes, and demonstrations, that kept crafters engaged and having a great time. Attendees left with their shopping bags full of fantastic finds.

We want to extend our sincerest thanks to the crafters and retailers who made this event possible. Without your support, there would be no show.

We hope you had a very crafty day!
