About us

Hi, I'm Katrina, owner and founder of Bumbleberry Papercrafts.

I've been cardmaking on and off since 2008, when I decided to make my own wedding invitations. I took a little break from crafting after Harrison was born in 2013, but it wasn't long before I was back at the craft table — and soon we were making paper animals from die-cut shapes!

Bumbleberrys began because I struggled to find the American craft brands I loved here in the UK. I was seeing gorgeous products from brands such as Lawn Fawn, Hero Arts and Concord & 9th being used by crafters like Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner on YouTube, but actually getting hold of them wasn't always so easy.

So, I decided to do something about it.

What started as a small business here in Barrow-in-Furness has grown into Bumbleberrys as it is today, stocking thousands of products from some of our favourite US papercrafting brands.

We're still a small, independent business and every order is picked and packed by our little team here in Cumbria. We import directly from manufacturers and distributors in the USA, bringing new releases and hard-to-find products across the Atlantic for UK crafters.

As a crafter myself, choosing what we stock has always been important to me. We focus on products and brands that I'd be excited to use myself, alongside the tools and essentials you need to actually create with them.

More than ten years after Bumbleberrys began, I still get a ridiculous amount of enjoyment from seeing all those boxes of new craft supplies arrive from America — although there's considerably more of it to unpack these days!

Thank you for shopping with us and for supporting a small independent business. Every order really does matter to us.
