The Cartonnerie brings the elegant art of French Cartonnage
—a tradition originating in the 18th century—into the modern age
Since founding The Cartonnerie in 2003, I've been dedicated to
preserving, reinventing and teaching these traditional techniques
Enjoy crafting,
I started The Cartonnerie in 2003. I always wanted to do something creative, but I spent a long time searching for what kind of creativity, until I went to a box making workshop, also called 'French Cartonnage'. I've been making boxes and cartonnage designs by hand in a traditional French way ever since.
I love teaching you how to craft classic and elegant boxes, folders, folios and portfolios with my online courses, and elevate your designs with my tutorials.
If you’re feeling stuck, need to talk through a crafting or designing issue, need advice how to implement cartonnage into your creative business, or need help designing a cartonnage design for your client or business, book one of my services.
I loved every part of the course from The Cartonnerie! From when the supplies arrived, packed so beautifully and then to follow the instructions that were so easy to understand - and the end result is just gorgeous. I love my box and will definitely keep making them.

Your courses have helped me refine my skills of cartonnage over the last several years which in turn have also helped me teach my assistant as well! I love being able to create everything bespoke for my couples, even their keepsake boxes!

Sabrine's course is fantastic! I was hesitant to invest the money into something I felt I could figure out on my own but I'm glad I made the purchase. Her instructions are detailed and the video is soothing to watch. I've made several of the hinged boxes and they turn out beautiful due to her course.
I will definately purchase additional courses in the future.

Sabrine's courses are amazing! They are very easy to follow, along with the instruction videos and handouts. It might take some more time if you decide to create a hinged box in a different size than the course (like I did right from the start, as I wanted to challenge myself a bit having some experience in bookbinding), but she gives all information you need to know to create beautiful packaging. I truly love this craft and am inspired to keep creating more!

The journey in learning these new skills has been absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it. The video and picture pdf guide were a perfect bundle to guide a course taker through the entire project. They were clear, concise and easy to understand. The final products look beautiful! Being able to give a touch of elegance|luxury, and overall elevating my simple wedding stationery and pictures made a remarkable difference.
