Hello my fellow crafters, my name is Annette Allen from MyCleverCreations.com. I am so excited to be joining the Birch Press design team. I live in Southern California and I am a housewife. Creating cards is my passion, although I love to dabble a little in anything crafty.
I love color and like to think outside the box when creating. The more color the better, if you ask me. I am inspired by life and all things around me. I enjoy taking cruises and walking on the beach. I have been married for over 30 years and have the sweetest dog. I am blessed in so many ways. Here’s to new friendships and crafty inspiration.
Hello, I’m Christina! I’m originally from Minnesota but moved to Georgia with my husband a few years ago.
I’ve always had a passion for art, design, and all things crafty. I’ve been drawing and coloring ever since I could hold a crayon, and I’ve always had a serious thing for paper and cardstock! So when I found cardmaking, I was hooked. What I love most about cardmaking is the ability to explore a variety of techniques and mediums and the freedom to change your style from day to day or even hour to hour!
I live in Northwest Indiana (near Chicago) with my DH and one very large fur baby – an Akita I call Miss Moriko. I like to read, garden and cook but I have been completely captivated by card making and paper crafts. I love to mix and match different pattern papers and can’t resist a rainbow of colors. My time crafting is a sweet escape and a fun way to express myself. I started my blog A Kept Life in 2011 and feel so blessed with the many friends I’ve made who share my paper crafting obsession. I can’t wait to share my creations with you.
Hello Crafty Friends! My name is Nora Noll and I live in Connecticut. I am an empty nester and live with my husband, Chris, and my two dogs, Lucy and Snoopy. I work full-time as a Special Education Paraeducator during the school year, which gives me summers off to enjoy reading, video games, traveling, and crafting.
I have been crafting since I was eight years old, starting with making doll clothes for my Barbies. While I am primarily a paper crafter, I love learning and will try my hand at any craft. I have a dedicated craft room filled with cardstock, pattern paper, and plenty of stamps and dies. I love to collect craft supplies and enjoy working in a variety of styles, ranging from clean and simple to mixed media. Die cutting and paper piecing are incredibly relaxing to me after a busy day. I cannot wait to share all my creations with you!
Hi, I’m Rosemary and I live in the Puget Sound region of Washington State with my husband, two boys and our silly Doberman Pincher, Sparky. I love the beauty of the PNW and most especially the views of Mt. Rainer that I get on a regular basis. My paper crafting journey started many years ago when a very dear friend got me interested in it. She would create the most beautiful cards and finally I decided to give it a try. Initially I created scrapbook pages, but soon left that behind for cardmaking. I started blogging in 2010 and have worked for several different stamp companies of the years. I’m excited to be creating for a company that is in my “backyard” . My style is mostly clean and simple but I enjoy trying other styles. Lately I’ve been trying my hand at mixed media and all things “grungy”.
My name is Savannah, but most of my crafty friends call me Sav, and I spend most of my time in my craft studio called Savannahland2 (which is now located in South Carolina)! I have been professionally crafting since 2006 but have always been a crafter and creating things with construction paper since elementary school. I enjoy creating a variety of card styles, including layered, clean and simple, whimsical, pop-up, interactive, modern, and shaker designs, often incorporating patterned papers and embellishments, as well as fussy cutting. I am currently expanding my skills with alcohol marker coloring- I’m very new to coloring but enjoying the process! I enjoy having friends and family in my craft studio, teaching them different techniques, but my favorite guests are my husband, Travis, and my dog, Finn. Both Trav and Finn give me lots of inspiration for my designs 🙂
Hi, everyone! My name is Toni and I live in the Pacific Northwest just a few miles north of Seattle where I work at the University of Washington supporting infectious disease research. I enjoy spending time with family (including my cats), reading, gardening, and, of course, papercrafting.
I try to spend time in my craft space every day; it’s a wonderful way to recharge and refocus. Thanks largely to my mom and maternal grandmother, I was introduced to all sorts of crafts and ideas from an early age. I remain curious and love to experiment by combining different mediums and techniques in unexpected ways. I look forward to sharing my creations with you here and on my blog, Frankie Helps Craft!
