handmade by me

Hey there!

Victoria here or Vi for short (pronounced ‘vee’). Born and raised in North Carolina I have been obsessed with paper my entire life. It is honestly terrifying to look back and remember how scissor happy I always was collaging every magazine in sight! Not that much has changed of course but over the years this passion has progressed and transformed to become the craft menagerie I have today!

There aren’t many activities involving paper I haven’t already tried. Origami, scrapbooking, bullet journaling, greeting cards, envelopes, ephemera, quilling, paper beads, sticker making, handmade papers, bookmarks, notebooks, address labels, affirmation cards – the list is almost endless!

Half Self Portrait

I was lucky enough to find a partner in crime who has a bit of a flair for creating himself, Ty, who has only ever encouraged to me to follow my dreams. Even if those visions end up resulting in a whirlwind of tiny, delicate butterflies and piles (okay, mountains) of stamps and adhesives.

Since we first met I’ve been able to continue to explore my passions where ever they popped up. Metal stamping, laser etching and cutting, loom knit blankets and pumpkins, my very own stickers designed from scratch, and even large scale décor for parties like paper mache piñatas, tiny little custom labels, and using mica to create magic potions!

Between friends, family, our home, and all of its inhabitants there are often more unfinished projects than complete ones. I have yet to determine if I thrive on organized chaos or if it drives me crazy! Either way it’s the days filled with inspiration that keep me going. My capacity to think outside of the box has only grown over time. The thought of using that skill to make other peoples dreams come true is my purpose and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
