Meet the Maker
Welcome – I’m Julie
My journey into cardmaking began in 2016 with a simple, heartfelt decision: to craft a handmade card for an 80th birthday celebration at our church. Though I had dabbled in scrapbooking, cardmaking was a new adventure—and that first project sparked an enduring love for creating meaningful, shareable pieces of art.
What started as a personal hobby quickly blossomed. Friends and community members began requesting custom cards, each one unique and filled with love. With their encouragement, I began offering my designs for sale, and it’s been such a joy ever since. Each card I create is thoughtfully made with someone in mind—transforming a simple greeting into a cherished keepsake.
As a disabled stay-at-home wife of 29 years, and proud mom to two grown daughters, a wonderful son-in-law, and two beautiful grandchildren, this creative path has brought purpose and connection into my life. Through cardmaking, I’ve found a way to share love, joy, and care—and to help others do the same through the cards they give.
Thank you for visiting and for supporting handmade art that speaks from the heart. I’m so glad you’re here.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." —Colossians 3:23

How it’s Made
This card features a white base, layered with blue cardstock and topped with white shimmer cardstock embossed with raised balloon and streamer designs. The streamers have been meticulously hand-colored using alcohol markers. The dog, gift, and cupcake images are hand-stamped, colored with alcohol markers, and precisely cut out and mounted on foam adhesive to create a raised effect. The external sentiment, "I'm here for the after party," and the internal sentiment, "Happy Belated Birthday," were crafted using a Cricut machine.
