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 girl with no less than 37 different pens and brush markers in her purse at any given time." I live in Indianapolis with my better half, our little lady, and our furry friend. 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!

Hello everyone! I’m Daisie of Daisie’s Scraps. I am an OR Nurse by night and a scrapbooker and mom by day. I am happily married with 3 children and 2 dogs. I started scrapbooking in 2009 as a creative outlet and was soon addicted. My style has evolved tremendously and now I enjoy making 12x12 or 8.5x11 works of art. Scrapbooking is my way to desires and unwind from the sometimes hectic life I live. My favorite technique is paper piecing, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to get this gig!! I am starting my 7th term on this design team and am still as excited as I was on day one!

Hey there!!!!! I’m Stephanie Vittorio, the person behind Coffee Stamps Chaos. I can’t remember a time in my life when creativity wasn’t a part of my life and something I enjoyed. I have been creating handmade cards since 2007 when a friend asked me to help her reach her goal for her Stampin’ Up! Party…the rest is history! I have been in love ever since! I love paper, die cutting, stamps, embossing, and watercolor is my jam! I am passionate about card-making, it brings me such joy to create something from nothing and to share it with the world. I love giving handmade gifts and dabble in a variety of crafts from photography and DIY projects, to dreamcatchers, loom weaving and building things. I just love to create! I’m the one my friends call when they need help with projects or have creative ideas they need help executing.
I live in the beautiful PNW in Washington State, with the love of my life: my husband & best friend, I am the very blessed momma of 6 children; 3 boys, and 3 girls ranging in age from 5 to 17! We have a bunch of animals including 2 dogs, 3 cats, 5 chickens, 9 ducks, and a goose. There’s never a dull moment around here! I hope to inspire others to create, and to find joy and passion in creating! I am SO excited to be here alongside so many other VERY talented crafters and creators!

Fun facts about me:
I am OBSESSED with all things hedgehog.
My all time favorite color is all shades of PINK but currently "Rainbow" is my jam.

Hello there crafters! My name is Randall, I’m the face behind The Craftateria, and I LOVE to craft! Paper crafting is something that I have been interested in ever since I can remember. I have always loved to cut and glue paper together and make beautiful creations. I think that paper is such an amazing medium, you can create practically anything from a piece of paper, the only limit is your imagination.
I live in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah with my kind and caring husband. We love to work on projects around the house and make our home beautiful.
I love to travel and go on adventures! I love Disney, and have worked at Walt Disney World Resort in the past, some of my favorite memories come from being a Cast Member for Disney.
I come from a very large family of 10, and I love being surrounded by my family, we have lots of fun. All of my nieces and nephews have me wrapped around their little fingers and know that I can’t say “no” to them.
I can’t wait to create some amazing projects to share with you!

Hey guys, Im Shondell G, the creator of The CraftPrint. I was born in Guyana, raised and reside in Brooklyn NY. I'm the mom of 4 Amazing sons (ages: 13,18, 22, & 23) and I work full time in the Healthcare field as a Health Information Management Data Specialist.
I've been crafting with paper since I was a child. My specialty is Party decor, but I love all aspects of crafting. I've always been the family's designated party stylist, so I decided to turn it into a business. After a few years of decorating, I changed paths to focus on just creating custom party decorations, party supplies, and also crafting classes.
Besides crafting, I really enjoy helping other crafters start and grow their businesses. I'm so obsessed with it, I've even encouraged my sons, sisters, and friends to start crafting, too.
I'm super excited to be joining the Cardstock Warehouse Design Team and I look forward to sharing and encouraging everyone to enjoy paper crafting as much as we do.

Paper color is all a matter of personal preference, style, theme and occasion. Ink color, paper bleed and ink absorption are also important considerations when printing and applying ink to paper.

Printing is an important factor to consider when choosing paper for your printing projects. Whether you plan on DIY printing or professional printing, do your homework before buying a large supply of paper. Not all paper types are suitable for all printers, especially home printers...
Paper is made up of tiny grains of fiber. During the manufacturing process, they align in the same direction, usually with the longest side of the parent sheet, much like a school of fish or a flock of migrating birds! Knowing how to find the grain, and score your paper is key to creating professional looking pieces...

Choosing the right adhesive for your paper project is almost as important as choosing the right paper. Are you gluing a large area or a small area? Are you gluing something flat or 3D?
