Here I am in the Carol's Cards factory, creating my scrappy cards. My fiber art cards and journals are all handmade...by me! I started my business in 2021 using fabrics from making COVID face masks for friends and family. My launch was at the NYNow Gift and Stationery show in New York where Carol's Cards were named a finalist for Best Emerging Brand. In addition to selling on Lyric and Etsy, my cards and journals can be purchased at museum stores, and quilt and gift shops around the country. I donate a portion of my proceeds to food shelves here in CT.
