WELCOME!

Hi! I’m Michelle Ann Rapanut Phewklieng — but most people simply call me Michelle.

I was born and raised in California and currently live in Carson with my husband of 14 years and our teenage son. By day, I’m a full-time lab manager at a water recycling facility, where I’ve worked for 24 years and counting! By night (and in between all the busy mom life moments), you’ll usually find me in my craft room creating cards, organizing paper, or planning my next class or event.

My Stampin’ Up! journey began back in 2000 when I attended my very first workshop and instantly fell in love with the creativity, friendships, and beautiful products. Seven years later, I decided to take the leap and become an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator — and I’ve now been a demonstrator for 19 years!

What started as a fun hobby quickly became something so much more. I loved the idea of meeting new friends, having a creative outlet outside of work, and earning extra income while doing something I truly enjoy. Over the years, Stampin’ Up! has brought so many wonderful people and experiences into my life.

I especially love anything tropical or Hawaiian-inspired — give me bright florals, island vibes, and beautiful Designer Series Paper, and I’m happy!

One of the most rewarding parts of being a demonstrator is helping others discover their creativity. Whether it’s teaching classes, sharing project ideas, or helping someone create a handmade card for a special occasion, I truly believe papercrafting is about more than stamps, ink, and paper — it’s about sharing love, memories, and a little piece of yourself with others.

Thank you so much for stopping by my website. I hope you’ll take a look around, find inspiration, and maybe even join me for a class or creative event someday!

Have a wonderful day, and happy crafting!
