Hi! My name is Karidy (a combination of the names Kari and Dee), and since early childhood, I've had a passion for art and creativity. I have a BA in graphic design from Western Washington University, and I feel so blessed to be a part of the minted community. When I'm not designing, you'll find me baking or decorating while hanging out with my husband and two beautiful little girls.

Dear Customer,
From,
Hey there Karidy – I just had to say thanks for the likes and for the encouraging comment on my non-photo entries :) You are one of the many trail blazers with Minted, and it means a lot that some of my pieces caught your eye! That is one shiny pineapple – Mele Kalkimaka indeed!
Thank you so much for your cute comment, Karidy. It totally made my day getting this from you. You have so many beautiful designs! All the best to you!
Thanks much for the response regarding the text submission. Minted did say that they'd submit those design suggestions prior to voting - but due to the high volume of entries with paired designs they thought perhaps they'd instead be considered a repurpose. SO perhaps there's still hope. If you feel it's a good fit you could shoot them an email. We'd both still benefit from the commission even if it wasn't in the running for prizes. Hope you're enjoying the vacation time!
I so admire your work. Stunning.
Yes, Ms. Walker, I noticed that as well ;)
Wow! Your prints are amazing! If you're looking for other people's Copy to create for, please check mine out at Lizzy Walker/ 2aT. :) Happy creating!

Hi Karidy, i checked out your work and love your style... I am not a real illustrator but try to be at times... (if you look at my roseheart save the date entry.. i took two photos of roses and traced them, put them together to form a heart of roses) but your stuff is beautiful! I favorited you as a designer. I can certainly learn from you! May I ask you - some of your typography is beautiful (like "Joy to the World" is that manipulation of an existing font or hand-drawn? or a mix of both? really beautiful work. Your work inspires me.
Thank you so very much for all your likes and your lovely comment on my valentine! It means a lot coming from such a talented Mintie. I love your work as well - best of luck :) :)
