About/Contact






Thank you for taking the time to visit my personal blog!

I have been an avid paper crafter for all of my adult life and I have loved every minute of it! I am a card maker, stamper, bookmaker and scrapbooker, but most of all, I am a Maker. I consider 3D paper crafting to be my specialty and I love to create unique 3D paper novelties, party decor, interactive cards and unique shaped boxes. I love to combine many techniques including stamping, sewing, die cutting, and foiling. And I am OBSESSED with pop-ups!

Currently, I am utilizing my design and crafting abilities by working with Silhouette Inc as a designer. You can find my designs at the Silhouette Design Store: Dimensional Paper Cuts. Formerly, I was a member of the Carta Bella and Echo Park Design Team (2018-2021), a member of the Lori Whitlock Creative team (2017-2020) and the Eileen Hull Inspiration team (2015-2018) using her Sizzix and Clearsnap lines to create monthly projects and samples for the CHA/Creativation trade shows. As a former member of the Simon Says Stamp team, I gained valuable experience with inks and mixed media. (2013-2015) I’ve taught in person scrapbooking and paper craft classes through Michaels and I am a certified instructor through EK Success. I have also taught local crepe paper flower making classes. I’ve been published in Scrapbook and Cards Today, Stampers Sampler, and Somerset Studio. Along with commercial projects, I create artistic paper flowers and installations (like an eight-foot geometric backdrop!) I make these labor intensive projects for the sheer joy of working with paper. 

I am also on a new creative journey with the Altenew Educator Certification Program. (AECP) This has brought me so much inky joy!
