Hey there, Creative Friend! 🎨👋

Welcome to The WonderBasement – my cozy little corner of the internet, where paper, ink, and imagination come to life!

I'm Tonya, your crafty guide, cheerleader, and longtime Stampin’ Up! demonstrator (over 20 years – can you believe it?!). Whether you're brand new to crafting or a seasoned paper pro, you're in the right place. Because here's the honest truth...

👉 Creativity isn't something you're born with – it's something you grow.
Too many people believe they "just aren't creative." Ugh, I’ve heard it so many times, and it breaks my crafty heart 💔. But friend, I'm here to tell you: creativity is a skill, and like any skill, you can learn it, practice it, and totally rock it. 🙌

If you’ve ever felt:

  • Overwhelmed by all the supplies and not sure where to start...

  • Frustrated that your projects don’t look like what’s in your head (or on Pinterest 😅)...

  • Like you're stuck in a rut and missing that spark...

Breathe. You've found your people. ✨

Inside The WonderBasement, I’m here to help you get unstuck, spark your imagination, and have fun while you’re at it. I teach you how to use stamps, papers, and inks in ways that are approachable, relaxing, and oh-so-rewarding. Whether you’re crafting for joy, for gifting, or for a special celebration – I’ve got tips, tutorials, and encouragement to keep you going.

A little about my crafty journey...

What started as a love for stamping cards turned into a passion for making party décor, handmade gifts, home décor, and more! 🎁🎉🖼️ I adore using Stampin' Up! products because they stay ahead of trends in color and design – so our projects always feel fresh, fabulous, and fun.

Over the years, I’ve adapted my Stampin’ Up! biz to fit my life (which includes family, weddings, eBay, and a whole lot of glitter ✨). I’ve taught in-person classes, hosted home crafting camps, and now I do a whole lotta online fun in my private Facebook groups.

Want in?
Come hang out with me on Facebook at @thewonderbasement, or send me an email and I’ll send you a personal invite. The more, the merrier – seriously!

So grab your favorite drink ☕, pull up a chair, and let’s create something beautiful together. You’ve got a spark in you – let’s light it up! 🔥💖

Learning to create is a beginning of a beautiful journey!
