Heartfelt Creations Closure: A Farewell to a Crafting Icon
After 26 years in the crafting industry, Heartfelt Creations has announced it will close its doors entirely on November 30, 2024, including digital products. Since its founding in 1997 by Linda Bontrager, this family-run business has brought creativity and joy to the paper crafting world through its unique line of coordinating stamps, dies, and 3D flower-shaping molds. Emma Lou, Linda's daughter, became the well-loved face of Heartfelt Creations, sharing tutorials, hosting demonstrations, and making conventions memorable for countless crafters with her warmth and expertise.
Emma Lou’s impact on Heartfelt Creations and the community has been transformative. She began demoing products at conventions as a teenager, and over the years, her tutorials became a vital part of Heartfelt’s identity. Her dedication has shaped a loyal following of fans who feel not only inspired but deeply connected to the brand. One devoted customer wrote, “Thank you, Emma Lou, for the joy and creativity you’ve shared. Heartfelt Creations will always hold a special place in our crafting hearts.”
As they prepare for their final closing, Heartfelt Creations is encouraging fans to purchase any last items before November 30, 2024, when the company will fully cease operations. This closure is truly the end of an era in crafting, and the community they created will continue to cherish the legacy and inspiration that Heartfelt Creations leaves behind.
