About me

I’m Ericka Strange, a mixed media artist and card maker who loves getting a little messy in the name of creativity. What started as a simple paper-crafting hobby quickly turned into a full-blown love for layers, texture, color, and trying things just to see what happens. Stamps, stencils, paint, embossing, found textures… if it adds interest, I’m probably using it.
This space is where I share handmade cards, mixed media projects, and the techniques behind them. I’m all about experimenting, breaking the rules a bit, and finding fresh ways to turn paper into something special. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need the curiosity to try.
If you’re looking for inspiration, creative ideas, or encouragement to play with your supplies instead of overthinking them, you’re in the right place.

Design Teams

Inspiring through the brands I love

I’m passionate about inspiring my readers by showcasing the brands and products I genuinely love and use in my own creative practice. I believe the best collaborations happen when creativity and authenticity lead the way. Through tutorials, process posts, and finished projects, I focus on showing how products actually work in real hands, not just how they look on a shelf. With over a decade of design-team experience across stamps, mixed media supplies, paints, embossing powders, gel press tools, and retailers like Topflight Stamps, I bring a deep understanding of both the creative process and the needs of crafting companies. I’m always excited to collaborate with brands looking for thoughtful, high-quality inspiration that connects with makers and encourages them to create with confidence.
