Meet the maker
Hey, I'm Courtney!
I'm the face behind The Crafty Brick. I have always loved to design and make special homemade items for my home and for others. For the past 17 years I've been a stay at home mom and during that time I've had many different jobs. Some of those include preschool teacher, bookkeeper, starting multiple businesses and most recently a personal trainer. In 2019 I realized the jobs I had done previously never really filled the creative space where I loved to reside. Yet, I also had self doubt and didn't know if people would really be interested in purchasing my items if I sold them. In the fall of 2019 I decided that I would take the leap and start The Crafty Brick. That was the best business decision I have made so far. It has been such a dream to make my customers' visions come to life. I wake up every day and am excited to work. I look forward to making many more creations in the years to come.
The Crafty Customer's Critique
It was so nice to pass a mirror and see my affirmation stitched onto my hoodie. Great picker upper for a bad day. Fits true to size and very comfortable. Easily going to become one of my most worn hoodies. Absolutely LOVE!
Very creative idea! When I wear my crewneck, and look in the mirror, I see my Mirrored Mindset word staring back at me. The fabric is so soft too - an extra perk.
I am new to the crafting community. I am very happy that I took this class with Courtney! She was very informative. It was great having a live interaction. I bought the Romeo and I need to learn how to master it! lol!
Thank you Courtney!
Courtney did great with explaining the different parts of Leonardo DS. She is awesome and has a great wealth of knowledge. I would recommend the training to anyone!
I love my shirt!! High quality material. It’s soft and warm and the embroidery is excellent. I love the concept of the mirrored image. I will definitely order more. Thank you!
I bought my machine from another craft friend. I needed a better rhinestone feature and cutting machine to be all-inclusive. I’m familiar with the other brand (Cricut) and my biggest regret was believing the hype about the Cricut machine and program. I do have the Silhouette Business studio program but I do not own a machine. So when the opportunity came to buy Siser Machine came through, I couldn’t pass it up.
This live class was exactly what I needed. Yes, I could have looked up YouTube videos but I needed a LIVE engagement. I was very pleased with your instructions, Courtney. You answered all our questions and gave many examples of how to use the basic features. I took lots of notes and it’s great we can refer back to the replay when needed. I feel better about learning the machine and program. Seems very user friendly and that’s a plus for me.
I highly recommend investing into your craft and learning as much as you can from the Pros who are willing to share. I highly recommend taking Courtney’s LIVE classes to get the instructions and knowledge you need to get started. Thanks again, Courtney!
Great material, print quality, and true to the original rendition. Super easy to order and work with, loving it!
This really has helped my thought process go from no so sure to very sure! I feel more confident in my business and understanding, not only my sales but my expenses and amount of labor that’s involved. The value of my business has definitely increased, in my opinion!
I love the December box I can't wait to make it
Was easy and fun!!
I love this box, can’t wait to make it
I like the box contents and how everything was laid out. The canvas was marked and the letter detailing the project.
This is great information. Glad to have it. Still reading everything. Thanks
I loved the project
The project was packaged professionally and neatly. Supplies and instructions are clear and concise.
I have never used artesprix sublimation markers and it will be nice to try them. I have not begun the project. I chose to wait for the live challenge videos.
