Hannah Craner

I am a crafter. I love creating in all forms: jewelry-making, needlework, book-binding, sewing, etc. However, my passion is paper crafting.

I am the Editor and graphic designer for CARDS magazine. I feel so lucky to work in an industry I love, doing something I am passionate about. When I am not working on the magazine or playing with my three cute kids, you can usually find me with a stamp nearby and paper in hand.

    I won one of their drawings for this new release, so I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my package of my first ever Wplus9 stamps! Would be so awesome if I won this too!

    Here’s my card! I had fun trying out a square card. My BF was really excited to see what I made since he said “You never make anything symmetrical!” It’s still not completely… :)

    (I left a comment on the 14th and on my computer it still says awaiting moderation but there are people that have commented after and approved, so I commented again a couple days later but it still says awaiting moderation, so I put in a different email address, hoping it’ll take this time) thank you…
