Happy Christmas

Hi Stampers and Creative Crafters!

My name is Karen Buttery. I live on the golf links here in Grand Blanc, Michigan!

I have been stamping for years. I love being near or on the lakes here in Michigan. I love to travel up north to Traverse City, Frankfort and Leelanau.

If you want to get your creative juices going and you are new to the StampinUp! community I hope you will give me a shout out!
I would be more than happy to help you with making cards or scrapbooking or making gift boxes.

Thank you to everyone that sent a card when my dad past unexpectedly May 27, 2021.

Your cards, phone calls, texts were such a comfort to me during this time for grieving. I think of my dad every single day.

Also, thank you for the lovely cards and support when my mom passed away this past January 2022.

It was only 8 months apart that my parents passed away. Now they are together again, laughing and loving and watching over us.

If you live in Genesee/ Oakland County, Michigan, and want to meet, please let me know! Would love the opportunity to help you with your card making for your friends and family!

For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.

Also, over a year ago August 15th, 2023 I had Mitral Valve Repair Open Heart Surgery at the University of Michigan, Cardiovascular. It was a success! Please check out my story and the over 100 cards I received!
