Enrollment Open – Crepe Paper Master Class
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love making crepe paper flowers. Once I discovered Lia Griffith, and especially once I started having my Cameo 4 do a lot of the cutting for me, I have loved diving into my crepe paper adventure! I’m happy to announce Lia Griffith’s “Beginner’s Guide to Crepe Paper Flowers – Vol. 2” is now open for enrollment!
Here’s how it will work this time. If you are an annual member of LiaGriffith.com, you get access to all the lessons for free as they are released during the month of January 2023. Annual members may purchase the class to extend your access beyond January to refer to throughout the year. If you are not a member of LiaGriffith.com, you may purchase the course at a higher price. (But you really should join LiaGriffith.com as an annual member, because the benefits go way beyond this single class!)
Even better, right now (12/8/22 – 12/31/22) get 10% off a GIFT ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP with code GIFT10 — be sure to tell your spouse, mother-in-law, mom, etc. that you’d like this gift membership to Lia Griffith!
To find out more about A Beginner’s Guide to Crepe Paper Flowers – Vol. 2, or to register for the class, please see this post on LiaGriffith.com.
I’ll be taking this new class in January and can’t wait to craft along with you and Lia! Here’s what I created with Lia Griffith’s original crepe paper master class. She covers ALL the basics and beyond, so beginners and advanced users will all benefit.

Kelly I’m taking Lia’s crepe paper masterclass and I’m struggling when I try to use my Cameo 4 for cutting. I use Lia’s settings, a standard mat bryering the paper down and the rotary blade of course. I tried cutting the peony petals. The first row seemed to cut okay but the second row overcut half way into the previous row. My force is set at 20 per Lia’s suggestion for double sided crepe. I researched a little and maybe the blade is catching and cutting too deep? (I also did the software update Lia introduced me to you and I’ll do a deep dive into your archives to see if I can find help but thought I’d ask. Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.
Debbie, the blade is only supposed to cut where you see the extra hooks and loops that re-orient the blade. It shouldn’t be cutting into other shapes on the page. I usually cut double-sided crepe with my rotary blade force set to 18 but sometimes as much as 20. That being said, I know there is a bug with the software and rotary blade that I’ve been trying to get the software team to fix, which may be causing your issue. To avoid the worst of the problems, I recommend spreading the designs further apart on the page, and don’t try to cut anything too tiny or detailed. I haven’t tried the masterclass peonies with my rotary blade, but they should cut OK for the most part. I suggest you reach out to Silhouette Support with photos of the poor second row and see if they will forward it to the software team. (A photo of your Send Panel screen plus a photo of where it actually cut would be most helpful for them.)
Thank you! I appreciate the help.
