About Purple Panda Creative
Welcome to Purple Panda Creative – Where Rocks, Humor, and Handmade Gifts Collide
Purple Panda Creative began in 2021 as a heartfelt tribute to my dad, who passed away in 2018. He gave me the gift of humor, teaching me that everything in life is easier if you can laugh at it. That spirit lives on in every part of this handmade gift shop.
What started with punny greeting cards and quirky Christmas ornaments has since grown into something much bigger. In 2022, a friend introduced me to rockhounding, and I quickly fell in love. One rock tumbler turned into six, and now my PNW backyard is home to an ever-growing rock collection—plus a full-blown obsession with polishing stones and creating unique gifts from nature.
Today, Purple Panda Creative offers:
- Polished rocks and crystals, many locally found in the Pacific Northwest
- Handmade wire-wrapped jewelry, keychains, and accessories
- Resin art and handcrafted gifts
- Snarky greeting cards designed for people who love humor with a little edge
You’ll often find me out on a beach at night, headlamp on, hunting for the perfect stones. It might not be glamorous, but it’s the sparkly, sandy life I love. 💎🌊
Meet Your Maker 🐼💀 – The One-Woman Show Behind Purple Panda Creative
Hey there! I’m Krys—the pun-loving, rock-collecting, glass-breaking maker behind Purple Panda Creative. I specialize in crafting handmade gifts, greeting cards, and wire-wrapped treasures with a whole lot of heart and just the right amount of sass.
Originally from sunny Florida, I’ve now found my forever home in the misty and magical Pacific Northwest. 🌲✨ I've been happily married for 13 years and am the proud (and often chaotic) mom of two wild boys, ages 8 and 5. 🤪👦👦
When I'm not wrangling small humans or plotting my next punny card, I'm the sole force behind this creative small business. That means I’m the designer, rock-hounder, resin-pourer, glass-snapper, wire-wrapper, customer service rep, social media manager, and everything in between. 🛠️💌
Whether I’m tumbling stones I found on a PNW beach, wrapping crystals into wearable art, or packing up a sarcastic card with love—I’m here doing what I love, one shiny rock at a time.
Whether you're here for a shiny rock, a sarcastic card, or a one-of-a-kind gift, I'm so glad you found me. This shop is fueled by creativity, laughter, and just a bit of chaos—welcome to my world!
