Hello to all our newest followers and crafty friends! I’d love to reintroduce myself.
I’m Tricia
I live in beautiful Fife, Scotland, with my husband Ricky (we’ve been married 22 wonderful years!). We’re proud parents to two amazing sons: Ricky Jr. (14) and Mackenzie, who goes by Mac (19). Our family wouldn’t be complete without our two German Shepherds – Roxy (11) and her daughter Millie (6). 🐕🐕🦺
My Journey
By day, I work part-time for an advocacy charity from home, wearing many hats: admin, finances, website management, social media, graphic design, reception duties, and more. 💻
But here’s where my story gets exciting – I discovered Stampin’ Up!® completely by accident in 2018 and became a demonstrator within just a few weeks. I’ve never looked back!
Why This Role Means Everything to Me
Crafting and my role as an upline and demonstrator provides such meaningful benefits in my life:
Personal Fulfillment: It helps me navigate health challenges (let’s be honest – many of us crafters understand this journey) and fills the gap as my boys have grown more independent and busy with their own adventures.
Sense of Purpose: This role gives me direction and allows me to inspire others, helping them feel included and discover their own sense of purpose.
Daily Inspiration: I’m constantly learning and being inspired myself. The friendships I’ve made and the sense of belonging in the Stampin’ Up!® community is truly amazing. ✂🎨📚
Quality Products: The ease of use and beautiful coordination between all our products, kits, and accessories makes this creative journey so much smoother.
My Business Approach
I run my little business part-time, working around my day job and health considerations. It’s perfectly manageable and incredibly rewarding.

Why I’m a Huge Stampin’ Up!® Fan
Creative Fulfillment: Becoming a demonstrator gave me focus and purpose beyond being a mum and wife. I’ve discovered (or rediscovered) my creativity – and it’s been amazing!
Community: I’ve made incredible friendships, many that will last a lifetime. Sometimes it’s easier to connect in this supportive online community than in traditional settings.
Product Quality: Stampin’ Up!® products are exceptional quality and coordinate beautifully. We have matching coloured inks, cardstock, Designer Series Paper, stamp sets that complement the papers, punches and dies that match the stamps… and don’t get me started on the embellishments! The coordination is simply gorgeous.
What I Bring to This Business
My background includes qualifications in Management, Administration, Marketing, Website Development, Accountancy, and Payroll. I have extensive experience with administrative processes and have worked with computers throughout my career. Plus, there’s that creative side that makes it all come together!
My Advice to You
Follow your dreams and do what makes you happy. If you can visualize something, you CAN achieve it. I’m still growing as a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator and learning every day. Time flies when you’re always creating (well, when health cooperates!).
