I'm a MN girl at heart, born and raised here! Recently I've gotten into designing and creating some fun MN Love Cards that showcase the fabulous state of Minnesota, with some fun patterns and color combinations. Then I started to think .... others are probably proud of the state they live in too, and started to branch out with other Midwest states. I like to create a clean design and...
Doing custom orders is one of the things I love most about creating cards and other paper goods for customers. I love when customers come to me with ideas they have and we are able to work through some ideas and creative process to figure out just what they are looking for. I recently completed new baby announcement cards that are being shipped off soon to a lovely little family...
I've recently gotten into making some very fun and very cute custom dog cards. So many people love their pets, and as a dog person (might be biased, we have a bull terrier), I know how fun it is to send out cute little cards with your favorite breed on them. This is a sample of cards that I've done so far, but I'm always up to working with you...
Thank you for making 2014 a great year for raindrop paperie! I'm so excited for this next year and to make, design and create even more cards. Thank you to everyone who visited my website, bought a card, sent a card, visited me at a craft show (I did 4 this year!), told someone about raindrop paperie, or "liked" an image. Here's to another year of color, paper, stickers, and...
Today my favorite product/tool is the Fiskars Corner Rounder. This is the perfect tool to create even, rounded corners on every piece of paper. The tool is super each to use and you don't have to squeeze insanely hard to make it work. If the paper is thin, you can even cut a couple corners at once. I've had mine for almost a year now, and it still works...
Today I want to highlight a newer tool I’ve been using, one that was given to me as a gift. It’s the Xyron create-a-sticker tool. With the recent addition of a Silhouette Portrait in my life, it was hard to adhere the small intricate letters and shapes onto my cards without destroying them when using a glue pen or glue stickers. Double sided tape and sticky tabs just didn’t...
Yesterday was the Linden Hills Festival where I had my first outside table for raindrop paperie. The day was absolutely gorgeous, I couldn't have been any more lucky. I want to thank all of those who stopped by my table, all my family and friends who came out to support me and my passion for anything paper! I'm already looking forward to my next shows (for sure one...
Paper is flying, stickers are being stuck and designs are popping out of my crafting area this week! My next craft show is only three weeks away and my mind is full of card designs waiting to be created. Here are a few of the lovely handmade cards you will find at my table in three weeks at the Linden Hills Festival. A little sneak peek for you :) ...
Why do I love cards? Why do I love creating cards? Why do I think it's so important to let others know what you are thinking and feeling? As an ISFJ, I am a nurturer. I care for others all the time. I am always thinking of others and striving to make someone have a happy day, to laugh and to just feel good about themselves. Creating cards has given...
Recently I have been very inspired by paper in various colors and pattens in designing and creating cards. There are so many wonderful, vibrant and rich colors in the world, and so many different ways to combine them. I believe we so often get used to the way that colors work together that we become comfortable and routine with color pairings. We associate colors with certain items in society or...
Thank you so much for visiting my shop! raindrop paperie site is now live and it is with much excitement that this new adventure begins.

I hope you enjoy the collections that are currently on the site, but always check back as new collections will...
