It all started when a friend invited me over on a Friday night to make cards. There were a few of us around the table, stamping, laughing, and just enjoying the evening. I went home that night completely hooked! I could already picture my own home filled with friends gathered around the table creating together. That’s when I decided to join Stampin’ Up!

Over the years, I’ve discovered that what I love most isn’t just the beautiful stamps, paper, and inks (though the quality really is amazing). It’s the way this craft brings people together. Whether we’re making cards, scrapbooking family memories, or opening up a Paper Pumpkin kit, it’s about sharing love and joy through something handmade.

I’m especially excited about the new scrapbook workshop kits. They make it so easy to document life’s special moments, and I love how simple they are for beginners while still being inspiring for longtime crafters like me.

Being a demonstrator has given me so many blessings. I get to create, encourage others, and build friendships that go far beyond paper and ink. For me, crafting is more than a hobby—it’s a way to share a part of myself with the people I care about. I believe God gave each of us gifts to use in lifting others up, and this is one of the ways I get to do that.

Thank you for letting me share my story. I’d love for you to follow along on my blog at www.creatingwithkristina.com or connect with me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/creatingwithkristina.
