Amanda Lace
Hi, crafty friends! I’m Amanda, the owner and creative heart behind Lace Designs Studio. My paper crafting adventure kicked off in the summer of 2020 when I got my very first Cricut machine, and I’ve been happily creating ever since. I’m self-taught in Photoshop, where I design all of my printed party favors, and I absolutely love building fun, detailed 3D projects with my Cricut machines. With over 20 years of design experience, I also teach design classes and create easy-to-use templates to help other makers bring their ideas to life with confidence. When I’m not in my craft room, you’ll usually find me relaxing with a good book or writing music and poetry as I reconnect with my roots in music.

An Pham
I love doing YouTube tutorials, I love interacting with the crafting community, and I love adding to the crafting community. After working in the corporate world for so long, I bring a different perspective into crafting … how I look at projects, at materials, and the process. I hope that you enjoy that different take on crafting, my projects, my passion for teaching, and my overall process. And if I can convert some peeps into crafters then I’ve made the world a better place. Find me on your favorite social media platform (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and TikTok).

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.
