Welcome!

I’m Mikki and I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator living in central Iowa where I teach classes on how to create handmade greeting cards and small gifts with rubber stamps, ink, and paper.

I attended my first stamping party 25+ years ago with Close To My Heart. We created a scrapbook page together and i was hooked. 

I’ve been creating and working with art for as long as I can remember. After having my son this idea of creating a way to preserve memories was perfect. Thinking I could combine the love of art and make beautiful albums was exactly what I needed. I ordered supplies (way more than I probably needed) and began my stamping journey.

After several years as a customer of Close To My Heart, life got busy and I drifted away from ordering products from specific companies. My Aunt introduced me to Stampin’ Up! and in March of  2016 I took a leap and became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Originally I was just a little hobby demonstrator doing my own thing. Since then I have invested time, energy and a lot heart to I embracing the way Stampin’ Up!’s products, values and overall family. 

I truly enjoy gathering with friends and family to create handmade greeting cards, scrapbooking and other paper crafts. 

I have recently expanded my little business of stamping and now participate in vendor shows selling cards and other paper crafts. My biggest step has been joining the realm of Farmer’s Market! I love the people and seeing the faces when they choose their card for their need. 

I do demonstrations when the weather allows at the Farmer’s Markets and you can usually find me doing something with stamping in between those demonstrations. I love sharing our products and sharing how to create beautiful things with just Stamps Ink and Paper. 

Stampin Up’s Statement of the Heart is “To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments…. In this we make a difference.”

I would like to help all of you enjoy creativity, accomplishments, big and small and to make a difference one smile and one card at a time. I would love to be your creative coach, to inspire you, guide you and help you unleash that creativity that is inside you. I want to help you find that passion and encourage you to just let it shine!

When I’m not stamping or scrapping, I home with my son, mom and dog, Daisy. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially those few afternoons with my daughter! I also enjoy diamond painting, drawing and really enjoy reading.
