Meet Lela Meinke

Thank you for stopping by and taking time to get to know me a little bit. I’m happy to share about my passions, but what really makes my heart happy is to learn more about you. So please take time to connect and share with me too!

I was raised in the midwest and moved out to California when I was 20. As a life-long learner, I’ve had the opportunity to do many different activities for work. One constant thing has been creativity. I discovered stamping in1990, and I first joined Stampin’ Up! in 2007.

At first, I was just in it for the discount. After I left my tech job though, I decided to start offering classes and building a team. When the pandemic hit, I really took things online. On the first day of official quarantine, I started a 30-day Facebook Live campaign. We built a little community, and gave cards to those workers who had to serve the public during those tough first days.

In addition to the crazy hardships of the time, it was also a beautiful time to build a community. I especially loved getting to hang out online so much with my sisters and dear friends. We’ve all grown really close, and many of us still connect online over zoom meetings to this day. AND WE LOVE TO HAVE NEW PEOPLE JOIN US!

My Passion

I learned from my mom, and I still believe it today, that cards are a gift of love. The things I value in life are learning, creativity, connection, and kindness. Stamping lets me bring all those values together in once place.

My Commitment

I am grateful that Bob (my husband of 34 years) and Wrigley (our 2 year old Labradoodle) let me spend so much time stamping. I get to stamp, and connect, and teach, and share what I love. Simply, my commitment to you is to bring love and learning into all that I do.
