The Heart Behind the Designs

Once upon a time, a little girl with big dreams made a 3D butterfly birthday card for her beloved Lola. She was just 10 years old, but in that simple moment—scissors in hand, colors swirling—a lifelong love for creating beautiful things was born.

Hi, I'm Carol—the dreamer, maker, and heart behind Given Crafted Wonders. My journey weaves through memories of crafting as a child, to earning my degree in Computer Engineering in 2010, to building a life where creativity isn’t just a hobby—it’s the very soul of everything I do.

What started as a side hustle after graduation has blossomed into a world where I design websites, craft digital magic, and pour my heart into every printable. Each tag, wrapper, and card you see here carries a little piece of that first butterfly—and a whole lot of love.

I’m so happy you’re here, and I can’t wait to share a bit of that wonder with you! :-)

“Those we love never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they showed, the love they gave, and the inspiration they left behind.”

A Heartfelt Dedication

This shop is dedicated to my mom—my best friend, my biggest cheerleader, and the heart that always kept me going. She was there for every moment, from singing competitions to dance recitals to academic triumphs, always offering unwavering love and encouragement.

She passed away in January 2018, but her light continues to guide every piece I create. I carry her spirit in every design, every detail, and every dream. I hope I've made her proud.

And to my dad—thank you for inspiring me every day to chase my dreams, lead with kindness, and become the best version of myself.

    I love discovering new places, tasting local eats, and snapping photos along the way—every trip fuels my creativity.

  • My Life in Song

    Whether it’s a festival crowd or a concert opener, singing lets me express joy, soul, and a little sparkle. Listen to my music on Soundcloud!. :)
