Hi, I’m Chris
I’ve been making handmade Christmas cards for more than 15 years, and over the last few I’ve expanded into cards for every occasion, decorative gift boxes, and all sorts of handcrafted paper creations.
For years I’ve hosted craft nights for friends and neighbors, and one of my greatest joys is watching someone make something they’re proud of. Whether you’re brand new to crafting or have been at it for years, you’re welcome here.
