What Paper Crafters Are Saying

I love the free paper craft classes!

I look forward to every time Miss. Carrie teaches an online card making or scrapbooking class. She always has so many new techniques to share and makes it simple to follow. I print her step-by-step worksheets and keep them in a binder with other guides. It makes it easy to refer back to when I am inspired to create! (Susan)

Paper Crafting Projects & Tutorials

Hello! I’m Miss. Carrie, a paper crafting educator, longtime maker, and coffee-loving creative.

I’ve spent 15+ years making every papercrafting mistake so you don’t have to. My goal is to break down paper crafting projects into tutorials that are actually easy to follow. I spent years teaching Special Education before God nudged me toward a craft table and a Cricut machine – and honestly? Best detour ever.

As a lifetime learner and a bit neuro-spicy, my left and right brains argue constantly, but they always agree that a day in the craft room is time well spent. Here, we keep it simple and remember that “perfect” is highly overrated. Grab a mug and let’s get started!
