Meet JAMIE

Hi, I'm Jamie Peters, a dedicated crafter with over three decades of experience in the world of creativity. For the past 12 years, I've proudly owned and operated Not 2 Shabby, a haven for crafting enthusiasts worldwide. Initially, Not 2 Shabby focused on curating the finest products from beloved stamping companies, but three years ago, I pivoted to crafting my own line of quality products. 

Crafting has been a lifelong passion of mine, and it's been an absolute joy to share this love with the crafting community. From 3D paper projects to creating handmade cards filled with heartwarming sentiments, every moment has been filled with creativity and passion. One thing close to my heart? Coffee. It's more than just a beverage; it's a source of comfort and inspiration. I always love sharing a cup of coffee with a friend or a loved one and when crafting with coffee it just brings back that feeling of comfort. That's why you'll find an array of coffee-themed products sprinkled throughout Not 2 Shabby, because what's crafting without a good cup of coffee by your side? 

My Absolute favorite thing about running a paper crafting online shop is the connections. I've been able to connect with fellow crafters from all over the world. One person who has been instrumental in my journey is Teresa Russell. She's not only been a mentor but also a dear friend, and together, we've curated beautiful products that effortlessly complement each other.  

My mission is simple: to inspire and empower fellow crafters to unleash their creative juices. That's why I've dedicated myself to producing hundreds of instructional videos, guiding paper crafters through the art of handmade card creation and 3D paper crafting projects. I have a particular fondness for creating treat holders, and it's become somewhat of a specialty alongside cardmaking and coloring. 

As I continue on this crafting journey, I'm excited to collaborate, share, and learn with the amazing crafting community. Together, let's make something beautiful!
