Making unique cartonnage boxes and other projects has become more than a passion — it's a wonderful part of my life's journey!
As a proud author of "Cartonnage Basics & Beyond," I've mastered the art of fabric box making, combining the delicate texture and colors of fabric into functional arts without the need of a single stitch. The magic of cartonnage is in transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary creations, and I find the process of gluing fabric to be a deeply relaxing and fulfilling art form that allows us to create unique memorable gifts!
Teaching is where my heart truly lies - there's incredible joy in sharing cartonnage with enthusiasts, fabric/paper lovers around the globe. Through my work, I have the privilege of guiding thousands of students both locally and online and creating a community of crafters within my Cartonnage Club. As a Brazilian-American in Michigan, I continue to share my passion for crafting with the support of my loving family. Together, we celebrate the limitless possibilities that a piece of fabric, a dab of glue, and a spark of creativity can bring.
DIY kits are available in our shop! Starting from them, you will get precision, convenience and lots of more fun as you are only having fun gluing! The hardest part - cutting thick boards - are all ready for you inside the kit bag!
Fabric is not included so you will use the Quilt Fabrics - 100% cotton, but make sure you avoid plain solid color fabric!
When joining the workshop you will get a special discount code (by email) that you can use in our shop for any supplies you may need!
I love getting my fabric from Colorway Arts! I know ity will be easy to work with the projects that are offered in the shop.
I love all of my fabric especially after finding the right box to use it with. My projects are amazing with each fabric and I have so many compliments. Love shopping for fabric at Clausdia's shop!

I'm going to put candy in it and send to my grandchildren for Valentines Day. They live out of state so will be mailing it soon.
Love these tools! They make preparing neat turn-in for covering boards so much easier, and I'm sure I'll find othyer uses for them too. Thanks to Colorway Arts!
