About

Hi, I'm Jo. I'm a full time graphic designer, running my own business, Cosmic Creations, since 1997. I work from a lovely home studio in the beautiful province of kwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Sometimes designing for other people all the time doesn't give me enough of a creative outlet – and it can ge stressful! So I decided to do something fun and creative for myself to help me get away from the computer and de-stress. Whimsy-Lou Vintage papercrafts is my personal 'me-time' creative outlet where I get to use my hands, get them full of paint, and play with paper, clay, glue, ribbons and sparkly things.

Most of my products are vintage styled and individually handmade from bits and pieces of recycled paper and board that I've collected. My lovely husband has good reason to call me a hoarder but at least I use everything I collect and turn it into something pretty and practical – and it keeps me out of mischief!

My products are great to use in your own creative and crafting projects if you don't want to have to do the fiddly stuff. As I come up with new ideas I'll make them and add them to the list so make sure you bookmark this page and revisit it to see what's new. I'll also share ideas and crafts that can be created using my products in my blog so make sure you follow it if you're interested.

My products page lists all available products that can be purchased online or made to order.

Thanks for the visit! Hope to see you around.
