Hey there, I’m Casey ✨
I’m a graphic designer turned Cricut nerd who loves nothing more than turning cardstock into badass decor.
I created the Crafty Decor Club to give crafters like you a space to feel creative, supported, and celebrated… whether you’re making gifts, upgrading your space, or still mastering your Cricut.
I’m putting the finishing touches on everything behind the scenes and can’t wait for the club launch on December 1. Got a question? Feel free to contact me, I’d love to hear from you! 🩶
Let’s cover more details with some FAQs:
-
The Cardstock Crafting Challenge officially kicks off on Tuesday, December 1 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. Over the course of five days through Saturday, December 5, you will get access to a new project at the same time every day.
All challenge project designs are specifically prepared for cardstock crafting and come ready for cutting and assembly. You will receive the SVG cut files that you need to create the selected design each day, plus instructions and video tutorials that walk you through all the crafting steps.
On November 10, three weeks before the challenge begins, my detailed checklists and other resources will be available to help you get your supplies and tools ready.
Then on November 27, four days before we begin, you’ll be sent a link and instructions to set up your profile on the challenge platform. You’ll also be able to jump into the community to meet Casey and start chatting with the other challenge participants!
Register for free today to get early access to the private community, plus a few exclusive bonuses.

Over the course of five days, you will have access to a new crafting project at 9:00 AM Pacific Time every day. The SVG cut files you receive as part of this challenge are specifically prepared for cardstock crafting and come ready for cutting and assembly, including:
✨ Statement Decor SVGs:
8” x 10” designs (standard U.S. frame size)
Multi-layered assembly (3–5 layers)
Colorful, detailed, and dimensional
Designed to be standout focal pieces
✂️ Accent Decor SVGs:
5” x 7” designs (standard U.S. frame size)
Simple layered assembly (1–2 layers)
Quotes and phrases with minimal design elements
Easy to resize for smaller frames (such as 4” x 6” and 2.5" x 3.5")
💌 Greeting Card SVGs:
5” x 7” folded design (standard A7 U.S. size)
4.25” x 5.5” folded design (standard A2 U.S. size)
Fast and easy assembly (outer card + front insert)
Quotes and phrases with minimal design elements
You'll also receive instructions and video tutorials that walk you through all the crafting steps each day. I'm still working on finalizing the exact designs that will be provided during the challenge, but here's a quick outline of each day as a general guide:
Day 1: Your first framed decor piece, this one will be a simple single-layer design that's provided in a 5” x 7” standard U.S. frame size.
Day 2: We'll move on to a three-layer design and learn how custom layers can improve the creativity of your finished piece. This one will be provided in an 8” x 10” standard U.S. frame size.
Day 3: I will be using this project to demonstrate how to resize SVGs to change the overall cut size of your finished piece. These tricks are helpful for using smaller frames, magnetic frames, or even tucking a quote into the frame of your favorite mirror. Plus I will be teaching you how to add and remove design elements from the SVGs I'm providing, so you can modify designs and customize your finished pieces as needed.
Day 4: This is probably going to be my favorite project! It's going to use multiple layers and multiple colors for an amazing finished effect (and I can’t wait to see all the creative variations you come up with). This one will be provided in an 8” x 10” size only.
Day 5: The challenge wouldn't be complete if I didn't also include samples of my cardstock greeting card SVGs. These will be provided in two sizes for both A7 cards (5” x 7” when folded) and A2 cards (4.25” x 5.5” when folded), plus you'll receive custom insert card SVGs with matching corners for the front of each card design and optional tiny messages visible only from the inside!
Everyone who registers will receive exclusive updates as we get closer to the challenge and you can also follow along on both Instagram and TikTok for sneak peeks and more!

No worries at all, seriously! This challenge was designed to be self-paced and depending on where you're at with your crafting journey, some of the projects might require more than one day for you to achieve the results you're after.
So you can absolutely tackle things at your own pace and still find support even after the live portion is over. You will continue to have free access to the challenge content and community through Tuesday, December 15 (ten days after the live challenge ends).

YES — Please note that I will NOT be sending you any materials or supplies for this challenge!
At a minimum, you’ll need access to your own Cricut or similar cutting machine (compatible with SVG cut files), sheets of cardstock in your choice of colors (I recommend 65 lb. cover cardstock), a cutting mat, and a weeding tool. Two weeks before the challenge community opens, you’ll receive detailed checklists and other resources to help you get your supplies and tools ready.
Optional: You’ll see me using additional tools in the tutorial videos, so I want to point out that also having a scoring tool (stylus or wheel), brayer (rubber roller), and a paper cutter will make these projects even easier. You might also want picture frames and magnetic frames for your new decor or envelopes for your new greeting cards!

The final submission deadline is Thursday, December 10, at 11:59 PM Pacific Time and you can submit as many entries as you wish. Five winning crafters (one for each project!) will be revealed on my socials and notified via email no later than Friday, December 11 to claim their free month of club access.
If a winner has already joined the club during the challenge or before winners are announced, they'll receive a credit for their second month of membership (no refunds will be issued).
