Did you know that we also develop bridesmaid proposal explosion boxes? There’s no better way to ask your bestie to stand by you on your big day than with something personalized, meaningful, and non consumable (I mean, do you really need that scrunchie?)

This Sept 2027 bride wanted her boxes decked out with peachy oranges, emerald greens, and a splash a maroon. With a little glitzy rose gold sparkle as a finishing touch, she’s all ready to her to the Midwest.

Personalizable explosion boxes are available for purchase on our Etsy (link in bio)

Created by one sentimental heart, for another 💜
This explosion box was requested by a grandmother for her granddaughter’s 15th birthday, both cherishing memories, nostalgia, and the little details that matter most. Filled with custom illustrations of her hobbies and wrapped in soft purples, blush, and rose gold, this is a keepsake meant to be treasured for years to come ✨

Some craft days are smooth and productive… and others come with a few speed bumps ✂️
Kicking off the new year with a graduation cap card and this one had it all: a sharp tweezer mishap, slippery embroidery floss that did not want to cooperate, and a few patience-testing paper crafting moments.
But in the end, the finished piece is always worth it 🎓

As I start the year growing my handmade stationery work and officially launching my wedding invitation business , I’m embracing every part of the process - messy moments and all.
✨ Wedding invitations are now live! Details linked above!

That’s a wrap on 2025! 🙌🏼⚡️

What a busy year. From becoming homeowners to getting married and honeymooning, I’m so proud that we still managed to finish the year strong with 4 artisan market days!

New vendor connections turned friends, wonderful new clients, and seeing make its way into homes across the U.S. has been incredibly rewarding. Spreading a little cheer and love feels more important than ever.
