Hi! I'm Lisa, and I'm so glad you're here.

​

If you've found your way to Burbachulous, chances are we already have something in common, we love creating things that bring joy. Believe it or not, I didn't start out as a card maker.

 

A friend introduced me to scrapbooking years ago, but I quickly realized I didn't have the patience for preserving entire albums. What I did fall in love with was making cards. Creating something beautiful that could brighten someone's day felt like the perfect fit, and I've been making handmade cards ever since. Then I discovered how much I love making things for my home, DIY!

​

Along the way, I discovered watercolor painting almost by accident. I couldn't find the stamp I wanted for a card, so I decided to paint it instead. To my surprise, I found I really enjoyed it and discovered a talent I never knew I had. That's been the story of many of my creative adventures.

​

Photography is another one. I'm not professionally trained, but I've always loved seeing the beauty in everyday moments. Over the years, people have often asked if I have a photography gallery. I take that as one of the nicest compliments because my goal has never been perfection, it's simply to capture something worth remembering.

​

My husband, Van, shares my love of creating. We both make handmade cards, and after our kids left home, we transformed the upstairs loft into our happy place, our very own craft loft. It's where ideas come to life, new techniques get tested, and plenty of laughter is shared along the way.

​

Why is it called Burbachulous?

​

The name has been making us laugh for years.

When Van and I were dating, my brother loved teasing me by making up words like, "That's Burbachulous!" or "Is that Burbachulicious?" It became one of those family jokes that stuck. So when Van and I started making greeting cards together over ten years ago, naming the creative side of our business was easy. Burbachulous was born.

My Philosophy

​

Life is made up of ordinary moments.

• The cup of coffee before everyone wakes up.

• A handwritten note to a friend.

• A healthy meal shared around the table.

• Fresh herbs growing on the porch.

• A walk through the woods.

• Paint on your fingertips.

• A quiet evening creating something with your hands.

• ​

These little moments are often the ones we remember most.

​

At Burbachulous, I believe creativity and wellness aren't separate parts of life, they belong together. Taking care of ourselves isn't only about what we eat or how often we exercise. It's also about making space to slow down, create, connect, and find joy in everyday living.

 

My hope is that whenever you visit, you'll feel like you've stopped by a creative friend's home. There are no perfect projects here. No pressure to keep up with trends. Just simple inspiration, encouragement, and practical ideas that help make life a little more beautiful.

So pull up a chair, grab your favorite drink, and let's create something Burbachulous together.
