October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this year, I wanted to do something more than just create — I wanted to make a difference.

💜 That’s how Craft for a Cause was born — a month-long fundraiser where creativity meets compassion. Together, we’ll use our love for crafting to support survivors through our local ACCESS organization, which provides safety, support, and hope to those rebuilding their lives.

✂️How It Works

All month long, 15% of every Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection sale from my online store will be donated directly to ACCESS.

It’s an easy and impactful way to give back — every kit you purchase helps provide resources and care for survivors and their families.

💜 Why Kits?

The Kits Collection is perfect for every kind of crafter — from total beginners to seasoned stampers. Each kit includes everything you need to create beautiful, handmade projects without the stress of design or prep.

✨ Simple. Meaningful. Ready to create.

They also make wonderful gifts — for friends, family, teachers, coworkers… or even just a little something for yourself. Because let’s be real, sometimes you deserve happy mail too. 💌

💻  Make It Easy: Click + Craft + Give

I’ve made joining this cause super simple!

📎 Download the Clickable Kit Guide:

Every image inside links straight to that kit in my online store — no searching required! Each page also includes a handy QR code that takes you right to the Kits Collection landing page.

💡 Tip: Save the guide, browse your favorite kits, and choose the ones that speak to you. Every single purchase helps support survivors in our community.

💪 Why It Matters

This cause isn’t just close to my heart — it’s part of my story.

I’m not just supporting this cause — I’ve lived it. As a survivor and advocate for awareness, I understand the importance of safety, healing, and hope. Crafting has been part of my own journey, helping me rediscover strength and connection. Now, through this campaign, I’m using creativity to give back — to help others find light, courage, and community on their own paths to healing. 💜

That’s what Craft for a Cause is truly about — using creativity as a way to connect, comfort, and create something meaningful together. Every card, every kit, every act of crafting becomes part of a larger message: you are not alone.

💜 From Mikki:

Thank you for crafting with purpose and helping me stamp out silence through creativity. 💜

Until next time, keep crafting with heart, creating with purpose, and never forget — a little sass and a strong cup of coffee can fix almost anything. ☕✂️💜

With heart, ink, and a whole lot of love,

Mikki 💜

We are doing new and fun things over on Facebook!

I’ve taken a leap into the Live Stream world with a monthly card class. I will have video recordings uploaded to YouTube and will have them linked in here as well.

Just a few little details about these classes. First and foremost, they are FREE!!

I will provide the measurements and products I use during the classes but the creativity is limitless and you can choose whatever products you would like. There is no right or wrong.

These classes are really just to bring us all together once a month and have some crafty time and relax. The class will be the last Saturday of the Month at 7pm CST and last about an hour.

With that said, I’m always open to suggestions and anything you all might be interested in or a theme you would like to see! Just give me a shout over on my social media pages and let me know!

Our next class will be a Mystery Stamp class. Tune in to see what kind of hidden fun I have in store!

If you have any questions please reach out to me!

Happy Stamping!




My Favorite Stampin Tools

1.Take Your Pick
144107s So many uses and attachments for this little tool that makes crafting so much easier! I have 3 currently in my tools drawer!
2.Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (Imperial)
163987s This glass mat is amazing! I love that you can write on it, stamp on it and use it to line up paper. Easy to use and super easy to clean up when you’re all done!
3.Simply Scored
122334s The Simply Scored is in my top 5 because it make scoring easy when you’re doing a bunch of scoring at once or intricate score marks for a fold. Also saves you from cutting when wanting to score! The diagonal board is also super helpful when doing scores for envelopes and boxes.
4.Blending Brushes
153611s Oh my blending brushes. These little fellows are a blessing when it comes to adding color and making scenes! I could write an entire book on why you should have these in your tool bag!
5.Soft Pastels Assortment
154585s These are a sentimental favorite. I have been using soft pastels in art work since high school. They are a unique color tool that believe it or not has a lot of different uses and color techniques. If you want to explore coloring then grab a set of these!
