Contact Me / About Me

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by!   My name is Kari Mason and I am the owner and founder of 1st Class Creativity and an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I have been teaching others how to Rubber Stamp, Papercraft, Scrapbook, and Make Beautiful Hand Made Cards and 3-dimensional projects since 2007.  Cards and 3-dimensional projects are the main focus, but other forms of crafting are featured as well.  I enjoy helping others through crafting by helping them discover they are creative, or help them grow in their paper crafting skills, or help them earn extra money by joining my team and beginning their own business. 

1st Class Creativity provides an Inspiring, Creative, Discovery with fresh, exciting, and inspiring projects created with Stampin’ Up! and other leading crafting suppliers.

Offering online classes, communicating over social media, live events (in person or online), and meeting new people discover the joy and fun of crafting with Stampin’ Up! products is the most amazing part of my career!

The personal stuff:

Divorced in Sept of 2019 I set out to press the reset button on my life and move to a warmer climate. From 2020 until 2022 it took some time to reinvent my life and 1st Class Creativity.  In early August 2020 during the height of the pandemic, I decided to move to the Tampa Florida area where I set up my new life and never looked back.  Now that I have settled into my new place I am embarking on getting 1st Class Creativity back to business on a regular basis.  I’m am now a single mom figuring out how to navigate life as an empty nester with a  positive outlook on life.   I have two wonderful sons one of which graduated from the University of Alabama in December 2018 and now lives in Dallas Texas and one who graduated from Central Michigan University in 2021 and graduated with 3 majors!  I also have 4 emotional support cats and when I am not crafting or at the beach  I work at a vet clinic where I get to help owners and pets live healthy happy lives.   I very much enjoy trying new activities, blazing new trails on my bicycle, Pilates, meeting new people, beach days, boating, spending time with my family and friends, and always inspiring others with their creativity.

Thank you for visiting today and I look forward to meeting you in person or through social media and welcoming you to the 1st Class Creativity community!  Be sure to Like me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and TikTok!
