Join Me!

My mantra is simple: create with your heart and your hands will follow. I am here to facilitate your creativity, fuel your curiosity and celebrate your uniqueness.

MansiMakes with YOU

  • Live Zoom Studio Hour: A live session once a month where you can ask your burning questions, get feedback on your projects, ask for tips, suggestions or product reviews, and create together.

  • You will have access to video tutorials with commentary, helpful tips, insights into my thought process and ideas on how to use your own supplies to create with confidence. At least one new video tutorial will be added every month.

  • You will always be the first to get sneak peeks of products I'm about to release on my website before anyone on social media gets a whiff of them. Product launches to the public will usually be 24-48 hours after being released here and since they're all handmade and limited stock, this is a huge perk!

  • As part of this exciting new launch in 2024, I am excited to offer one digital download every month. You can use these downloads as screensavers, Home Screens on your phones or even print them and use them in your own creative explorations.

  • Every month I will host a giveaway for community members. Some examples of what you might win, include original art mailed to you, a free seat in an upcoming pre-recorded class, and free crafting products.

What People Say

  • "This was sooooo much fun and a challenge as well. I had a background that I was uncomfortable with that turned out to be my favorite side in the end - go figure!!! I definitely will be making more of these in the future - my grandkids will be getting personalized birthday cards - how fun!!"

    Tina M K

  • "Thank you so much for showing us how to make gratitude tags. It is so freeing. It really is listening to the paint and paper and seeing where it takes you. I've shared a few already and am excited to share more."

    Connie S

  • "I loved your class Mansi! Everything you said I needed to hear. Love your approach and enjoyed playing with those yummy backgrounds. My problem is I don’t like whiting out what I have done…but obviously works great here. Wonderful exercise in having no outcome in mind. Your child analogy really spoke to me. Thank you!!"

    Suzy F

  • "Mansi, I want to sincerely THANK YOU for your wonderful course. I have never used a gel plate before and am now bursting with ideas. I tried using my 12X12 plate last night and had a blast. I have had it sitting in my stash for years and never had the confidence to get it out. You have inspired me and taught me some wonderful techniques and I am so very grateful. Love your teaching style."

  • "Thank you, Mansi!! This has been more of a journey than a class, and one that I never expected to make! I feel like an explorer in my own creativity whereas before I was just a conductor directing my energies into practical crafts . I still enjoy creating as a gift, and won't stop doing that, but I now know that I can create just for the sake of creating, and I can explore and play, not just follow directions. Thank you for this eye-opening revelation, and for being so supportive throughout the process."

Today, a simple exchange with the bagger at Safeway turned into something unexpectedly profound. As we chatted, I sensed a heaviness in her voice - a familiar weight of someone going through a tough time. Back in my car, I hesitated. In my stash was
