Who is the creator of Cardamine Papercut models?
Claire Guilpain
After studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Angers, I set up my studio in the heart of France’s beautiful Loire Valley, surrounded by historic castles. I’ve always had a deep love for paper, but it was discovering the art of papercutting that truly sparked my passion.
For over 15 years, I’ve been designing papercutting creations. Each piece is carefully crafted to be hand-cut, offering an incredible level of detail. As a mom of three young children, I found that papercutting became a wonderful way to escape and recharge.
It felt natural to share this little secret with you all!

My collections are inspired by family life, togetherness, and the beauty of nature. Each design starts in my imagination and transforms into the papercut models you’ll find in the shop.
No matter your level of experience, there’s something for everyone among the many papercut designs available. Whether for yourself or as a gift, you’ll be adding a touch of elegance and originality to your home décor, with the added satisfaction of having created it yourself!
In a world that moves so fast and often leaves little room for creativity and personal fulfillment, treat yourself to a moment just for you. This activity requires minimal gear and fits perfectly into even the busiest of schedules. Simplicity, detail, elegance, and poetry are at the heart of Cardamine’s unique creations.
Why Cardamine?
Cardamine is one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring fields of my region, the Loire Valley. It is simple and elegant.
This delicate wildflower would cover the ground of my childhood garden as soon as the first warm days arrived. Cardamine also represents the incomparable joy of large bouquets made by children and offered with love.
Cardamine is life, told through beautiful images to share...
Cardamine Values
Finally, as a business rooted in its local community, Cardamine is committed to supporting other local initiatives. This is why some of our designs are printed by a nearby Establishment and Service for Work Assistance (ESAT), which provides employment for adults with disabilities.
We also strive to minimize our ecological footprint by prioritizing recyclable materials or those with the lowest carbon impact whenever possible.
We encourage our customers to choose pickup point delivery when available, which significantly reduces CO² emissions from shipping.
