April Gonzalez

Hi, I'm April. I started paper crafting party decor almost 8 years ago. I live in California with my husband and three boys. My boys have always loved unique themes for their birthday parties, so it was only natural for me to create their decorations myself as I could never find what they wanted. I love using my Cricut to create custom party decor. My favorite part of creating, is helping people make their events even more memorable.

Cherie Dalton

Hi everyone, I’m Cherie. I have paper piecing for almost 20 years. I create individual paper pieces for my customers. But I teach along the way so follow the journey. You will learn tips, tricks and hacks along with some shortcuts.

Christi Steinbeck

I'm Christi , from Northwest Indiana. I've been married to my husband, Larry for 30 years. We have 2 grown daughters and 6 grandchildren and one very spoiled fur baby. I have been a scrapbooker for over 27 years, a card maker for 20 years, a paper piecer and 3 D paper artist for around 9 years. In my spare time I like to spend it with my grandchildren and often have them over for organizing. My kids say I am a little OCD when it comes to organization

Jessica Perez

Hello, my name is Jessica. I am a full time wife, mom of three, and paper crafter who specializes in party decor. I was raised by a very crafty mom who I always aspired to be like. So when I became a mom my kids inspired me to DIY everything. After a couple of years of crafting only for my kids I finally decided to turn my hobby into a full time business in 2016. Now I run a successful Etsy shop and have built an amazing and supportive online community.

Kandice Johnson

Crafty Greetings! Kandice here, aka #dewyworks. Though I’m a program analyst by day and a crafter by night, I actually am a crafter anytime there is time! As a child, I always had a love for paper craft and stationery, however; I did not officially start taking it more seriously until 2018, in which I started a small business of selling my creations to family and friends. I have an eclectic personality, so when it comes to my creativity, I’m inspired by just about everything! Ultimately, I’m inspired by the positivity my creations brings; there's nothing better than seeing that smile, that joy, on a person’s face. I create to inspire others, and hopefully, others will inspire to create!

Kate Deignan

Hi, I'm Kate. I am a lifelong crafter (you name it, I’ve tried it!), original New Yorker (currently living in New Jersey) former pre-school teacher, married (24 years), mom to 4 teenagers, and card maker for the last 18 years. I love to make cards and donate them to charities all over the country.

Monica Rodriguez

Hello, I'm Mónica. I started paper crafting 4 years ago. I live in Puerto Rico, where it’s always summer, with my 3 boys and husband. I create custom party decor and I love to make your events more beautiful and unique, so follow along to learn new tricks and tips.

Nikki Ihus

My name is Nikki from Nikki's Scrapbooking Adventures on Youtube and Instagram. On my social media, I focus on creating scrapbooking pages, using my inventory, introducing new products and organizing my supplies. I started scrapbooking in college, but have found my passion for it again in 2021 after my son's birth. My style is "simply embellished". I use my products to enhance my story telling and set the scene, especially pretty patterned paper and cardstock.

Pam Giles

My name is Pam and I live in East Tennessee with my husband, 3 cats and dog. I’ve been a nurse for over 40 years and a nurse educator for 31 years. The only creative thing I ever did growing up was learn to play the piano and sing in the choir. But along about 2012 I found myself with a lot of extra alone time due to my husband’s work schedule. I decided to take up stamping again, but couldn’t find the exact image I wanted, so I started trying to draw the image myself. That led to making personalized cards in my local craft group. Then in 2021 I found this machine called a Cricut! I originally bought it to make more cards, but then I discovered shadowboxes of all shapes, sizes, designs and colors. I’m constantly looking for innovative designs and am learning how to make my own. I have a little shoppe called Paper Girl, and I’m learning how to create my own website to make it easier for my distance clients to place their orders. My husband owns/operates an antique letterpress, and we collect antique wallpaper stamps – we use both of those to make one-of-a-kind cards, as well.

Shawn Mosch

Shawn Mosch has owned a Cricut since 2008. She quickly fell in love with all of the amazing things that she could create, especially Disney projects. Over the years, that turned into her sharing her projects and tutorials with others online. If you have owned a Cricut since the early days of using cartridges, you might know the site her family created called MyCutSearch, which allowed you to search for images found on Cricut cartridges. Crafting was always a hobby for Shawn, and it was not until 2020, with the encouragement from friends and family that she decided to launch the website ShawnMosch.com Now Shawn coaches others how to use their Cricut by focusing on teaching them to really understand how the Design Space software works so they can create anything they can imagine!

Tara Wilder

Hey, I’m Tara! I always had a super crafty momma growing up which inspired me to continue to be creative when I had my own kids. Four years ago I decided to turn my hobby and love for papercrafting into a business as a way to help provide for my family, and I have loved every minute of it… well, maybe not EVERY minute, but you get the idea!
