I really love to make people laugh. My favorite part of doing craft fairs is seeing people laugh at my cards, read them out loud, and show their friends. I really enjoy taking photos and design processes that goes into each card. I also absolutely love taking photos of my cards out in the wild.

I believe the element of hand in a lot of things I make is fairly unique to the paper goods industry. In a sea full of digitally printed greeting cards, you can feel the texture of the ink and paper quality with mine.

When the image has a life of its own. My connection physically is done and I get to enjoy the image.

Our top sellers change each month because cards are so seasonal but we have a couple cards that have been top sellers since year 1: “Isn’t it weird to think we’re celebrating the day you came out of a vagina? Happy Birthday!”

As lifelong crafters, Minnesota mother-daughter duo Brittany and Debbie of B+D Custom Crafts have always had a passion for creativity and creating personalized pieces for their own friends and family.

To be able to create something with my hands that puts a smile on a face is what I live for. ESPECIALLY during this time. If I can make someone experience some happiness in our current climate, I feel like I've done at least a little of something right!

I’m a Minneapolis-based fine artist and illustrator. A lot of the work that I do is pop art and portraiture (animals, people, and bottles of beer). I often work with themes of social justice and feminism, too, drawing attention to unfair and outdated social norms.

My Craftsman Nouveau style is graphic, clean and has a rich distinctive color palette. It was originally rooted in the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau but with a modern feel.

I love to use bright delicious colors and cute animals which tends to draw people in for a closer look and then they might notice that deer has 2 heads or that cat has a dinosaur body. I call it 'Ceramic Taxidermy" I splice and dice everything up to make my own creatures like some magical witch.

I love when my prints arrive and when I finish an item and put the little tag on it. Every time it makes my heart skip a beat. I'm incredibly grateful that this is my work.

Our signature style is humor and sarcasm. One of our first cross stitch was the “Stupid Dreams” piece suggesting that artists never give up on them.

I think I just have a very different, or unique, way of looking at color and how that applies to forms; being animal or human. When people come to me for art, it is because they recognize and appreciate that I will make a piece that looks like it distinctly was created by me.

My goal is to create pieces that are calming, balanced and almost like looking at clouds...everyone sees something or connects differently to each of my pieces.

When seeing my work for the first time, people often say "I've never seen something like this before." I think my unique style is what makes Twisted Hinge stand out.

I think recycling and making everyday items from something unique like an old Skateboard deck is the coolest. The amazing designs and colors always make it amazing.

My products are unique because of the way they embrace folk art design in a colorful, bold way. The strong Scandinavian heritage in Minnesota makes my birth state the perfect place to explore this art form and share it with the community.

Minnesota Nice defines the friendly nature of most Minnesotan's. That said, many Minnesotan's are known for their passive aggressive sides, as well. We combined these two qualities into a brand that reflects our nice yet irreverent qualities.

My signature style is inspired by visible mending. I combine black and white embroidered line work with colorful fabric collage, hundreds of tiny stitches, and traditional embroidery techniques to produce unique work.

Our signature style is the reclaimed wood and distressed vintage decor look! Our style has definitely changed over 12 years to include a lot more of my sons cactus themed modern art, but everything is still painted on reclaimed wood canvases!

My business name "Fox & Fables" is inspired after what inspires me and my work! I love the playful nature of fox and other woodland creatures. I also like to think of my illustrations as "visual storytelling" with many whimsical details.

To put it simply: I’m a Minneapolis photographer with a mild obsession with Barbie. Influenced by imagery from the 50s and 60s, I create scenes with the dolls in studio that have a sense of whimsy mixed with a little sarcasm. To me, Barbie is a positive, strong and empowering figure and I try to utilize her to create conversation. And to answer your question, I only have around 40 dolls.
