Hey there! My name is Erica and I am completely obsessed with all things related to paper and lettering. I use my Cricut almost every day, and am known for being "the lady with no less than 37 different pens and brush markers in her purse at any given time." I live in Indianapolis with my husband, our teenage daughter, and our 2 sweet pups. I've had a love of art since I was very young, but my love of letters and paper started when I was in high school. In adulthood, I have been so fortunate to get to channel that love of art into a career in design. As Lead Designer here at Cardstock Warehouse™, I manage the Design Team, branding, product photography, social media content, and lots and lots of paper crafting. :-) I am so grateful to be able to share my creations with all of you and LOVE seeing the wonderful things you create as well!

Hey there, Crafty Friends! My name is Amanda and I am the owner and designer behind Lace Designs Studio. I started paper crafting in Summer 2020 after getting my first Cricut machine, but I’ve been designing for almost 20 years, doing mostly invitations and art work for local artists in NYC where I live. I’m self taught in Photoshop which is where I mostly design, but I love creating 3D projects with my Cricut Maker. I worked in the wireless world for 14 years where I managed large teams and helped set up recognition boards throughout my district using my creative ideas. Last year, I quit my job to craft full time because making custom party favors was my true passion and I found myself happiest when I was creating. Fun fact about me: I couldn’t decide if I wanted to go to college for music or graphic design (both passions of mine), but I ultimately choose music. I found myself still designing daily and diving deeper into the paper craft world. I’m super excited to join the Cardstock Warehouse Design Team and can’t wait to share my crafts with you all.

Hi, I am Natasha and I live in Austin, TX. I am married to my college sweetheart and we have 2 beautiful children. I began seriously papercrafting about 6 years ago and have been hooked since. I get excited to learn new techniques and experiment with different mediums and textures. If I am not playing with paper, you can find me with thread, as I sew and embroider too. My goal is always to inspire, so I am looking forward sharing projects that I hope will do just that as a member of the Cardstock Warehouse Design Team.

Hello everybody! My name is Sarah, and I am the owner and creator behind Cultured Occasions. Growing up I enjoyed all things artistic, greatly credited to my Nana who was a middle school art teacher. I started making cards in 2014 after creating thank you cards for my own bridal shower. I fell completely in love with all things paper crafting and opened an Etsy shop for my handmade cards. After purchasing a Cricut, I was hooked, and expanded my small shop to include party decorations. I live near Sacramento, California with my husband, our daughter, and poodle-mix pup. When I’m not crafting, I’m checking off tasks as a project manager (my full-time job) or dreaming up my next party theme. I hope my creations inspire you to make all of life’s occasions special and celebratory!
