Let's Face It...

Cute crafts are fun, but you want something that actually means something.

Your projects don’t feel personal enough

You want to create something meaningful, but your gifts still feel a little generic.

You have all the tools, but no plan

You've bought the paper, the machine, the glue — but without a clear project or guidance, everything just sits unused.

You’re overwhelmed by inspiration overload

You’ve pinned 100 ideas and watched hours of tutorials, but nothing ever gets finished — or worse, started.

Hi, I’m Cathy Martin — and I’ve been engineering things out of paper long before I ever realized it could change someone’s life.

I've spent nearly 30 years as a structural packaging engineer — designing, building, and problem-solving for big-name brands. But the real shift happened when my son came home from school with a project that needed to be 3D. Out came the paper, scissors, and a spark of obsession that never left.

That one project spiraled into cheer team keepsakes, photo towers, custom trophies, and intricate paper gifts that always got the same reaction:
“Wait… you made this?”

My passion is transforming flat materials into dimensional stories — personalized gifts that don’t just sit pretty… they mean something.

And here’s the truth I’ve discovered after all these years: You don't need high-end tools, an engineering degree, or a design background to create unforgettable gifts that people treasure forever. You just need a simple system, the right templates, and a little bit of your own magic — and suddenly, you’re making things that bring people to tears (the good kind).

That’s exactly why I created “3D Paper Gifts That Tell a Story.”

It’s not just a course. It’s your shortcut to crafting with purpose, building with confidence, and creating keepsakes that spark real emotion — without getting lost in endless YouTube tutorials or cookie-cutter SVG files.

But let’s be honest — this really isn’t about me. It’s about you… and what you’re capable of creating once you have the right tools and guidance.

I can’t wait to see what you make — and if you ever get stuck, I’m just a message away inside our private community.

Let’s build something unforgettable together.

YouTube is a great place for inspiration — but it can also be overwhelming and scattered. This course brings everything together in one place, with step-by-step guidance, templates, and a clear path to finishing a project you’ll be proud to give.

Instead of piecing together random videos, you’ll follow a thoughtful system that helps you create something truly personal, meaningful, and unforgettable — without the guesswork.

Yes - this course is perfect for you!

And if you’re not quite ready to use your machine yet, no problem — you can still print and cut everything by hand..
