Where It All Began

The Story Behind Nadya’s World

My name is Nadya, and I LOVE paper crafting! In 2011, after a long time of my family and friends telling me to start selling my crafts, I started Nadya’s World on Etsy.

Creating custom and standard cards was my focus at the beginning. I would set up my Cricut and gather my crafting tools, and spend hours working on my product. Not long after I opened my shop, I started to take orders for banners, party decor, decorated card boxes, signs, and more! My days became filled with recycling cardboard for my banners, cutting out paper letters, gluing together cutout pictures, and shipping orders. Wedding invitations, party card games, birthday cards, party kits, custom banners, and custom signs became my specialty!

I made all of my items personally with the help of my best friends, husband, or children. The garage became my crafting spot where I would continue to make over 500 orders in the following years after I opened my store. I received orders both nationally and internationally. God truly blessed me as my weekends were spent in my garage fulfilling orders, which left scrap paper, glue, paint, and ribbon everywhere. At times, I would ship out 6 or 9 orders over the weekend! I continued to expand and gain more customers over time. Through being tagged on Facebook or in direct messages, I would see my products being used by others all around the world!
