Hey there! My name is Erica and I am completely obsessed with all things related to paper! 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 Indy 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 our 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!

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. I’m so excited to be part of the Cardstock Warehouse Design Team, and I can’t wait to share my projects, tips, and inspiration with you! 🩷

Hello there! I’m Angenise of The Graceful Pen Studio, a mama artist who specializes in calligraphy, floral illustration and engraving. Adding elegance and bringing joy to the everyday through uplifting greeting cards, home and event decor are how I share my gifts with others.
With each card, gift, and keepsake, it is my mission to let each person know they are loved, cared for, and not forgotten. I speak creative-ese fluently and answer promptly to the call of inks, paints, paper, pens and paintbrushes.

Hi, I’m Ivy! I’m the creative behind ivypinkmade, crafting cheerful, whimsical handmade pieces sprinkled with heart and happy vibes to spark joy and inspire creativity. I have been crafting since I was a little kid thanks to my crafty grandmother who taught me all the crafts under the sun! Probably the reason I still like to try all the crafts today. I am a self proclaimed Maker of all the things, but my current favorite besides papercrafting is making shirts & resin crafts. I am super thankful for my hubby who fully supports my crafting addiction.
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. I have two first names, Eleanor Ivy. My dad was inspired by the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby. My other current favorite hobby is cookie decorating.
I am so excited to be a part of this team and can't wait to share & inspire beautiful paper crafts with you.

Hi there! My name is Melissa and I am the owner/designer of Sweet Buttercup Designs & DIY Melissa. I am married to the most CARING & SUPPORTIVE man!! We have a beautiful 18-year-old daughter, Reese aka Reesie Cup Buttercup, hence my shop's name. Also a fur mama to 2 crazy doggies-Carmen (brown lab) and Roxie (Belgian Malinois). We live in Colorado (moved here 9 years ago) but I am born and raised Buckeye Girl, Go Bucks!! I’m completely obsessed with paper crafting & finding any reason to throw a party... this is why I decided over 16 years ago to open my Etsy shop doing party decorations. I was blessed to have been able to turn my hobby/passion into my full-time job for the last 8 years but now I have gone back to making it my side hustle again. This past year I went back to work. I am a teacher assistant for the RISE room (children with Autism). I absolutely love working with the kids and bringing my love of paper crafting to them with fun projects!
Things I love and can't live without: Everything the color pink (I'm definitely a Barbie girl!), Disney, murder mystery shows, gummy bears, and Starbucks. :)
I am so excited to be a part of the Cardstock Warehouse Design Team and create fun projects that will hopefully inspire you!!

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!
