I'm Jacki Joy, the heart (and hands!) behind Joyful J Designs—a cozy haven of papercrafting inspiration, right here in Nebraska.

​

I've been folding, cutting, and gluing since I was little, thanks to my mom who is a talented artist. Growing up surrounded by her creativity ignited my lifelong passion for making things with my hands. Papercrafting, especially card making, is still my absolute favorite hobby.

​

I started this blog to share my love of papercrafting with you and spark your own creativity through step-by-step tutorials, practical tips & tricks, and lots of project ideas—whether you're a beginner looking to make your very first card or a longtime crafter looking for fresh inspiration. 

​

Beyond the blog, I'm a busy toddler mom who loves to travel and spend time outdoors. I run two Etsy shops where I sell my handmade creations. Whenever time allows, I love connecting with customers and fellow makers in person at local craft fairs.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by Joyful J Designs. Whether you're here for a quick idea, a full tutorial, or just a bit of crafting encouragement, I'm so glad you're here!
