Welcome to The Cheerful Crafter™️

Craft • Connect • Create

This is your happy place for creativity, confidence and colourful makes.

I help women slow down, switch off, and rediscover the joy of creating something with their own hands. Whether you’re brand-new to papercraft or already hooked on pretty papers and glue, you’ll find friendly support, simple projects and a welcoming community that cheers you on.

Craft with confidence
Here, it’s not about perfection – it’s about enjoying the process, learning new skills, and feeling good while you make. From classes and kits to online inspiration and Stampin’ Up! ®️ goodies, everything I share is designed to spark ideas, build your confidence and bring more joy into your everyday. Come and craft with me… you’re so very welcome.

About Me

I’m Helen – the cheerful maker behind the scissors, stamps, yarn and stitches. As an Independent Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator, papercraft is my home base, but I’m equally happy with a crochet hook or a sewing needle in hand. What began as a lockdown escape grew into a creative life I adore, and now I help women build confidence, try new things and rediscover the joy of making.

Today, I run friendly classes, events and a warm community where everyone is welcome – whether you love paper, yarn or a little bit of everything. From simple Stampin’ Up! projects to cosy crochet and sewing makes, my mission is the same: to help you relax, play, learn at your own pace and feel proud of what you create.

Crafting changed my life – and I’d love to share that joy with you.
