About

Hello and welcome to EiderCraft! My name is Megan Cooper, and a move to a road named Eider in a duck-friendly suburb many years ago inspired the brand name for what was to be a new and rewarding (ad)venture.

I love sharing handmade happiness, kindness and encouragement through what I create and I’ve been able to focus on card making and paper crafting using the beautiful products available from Stampin’ Up! and a few other companies.

My family, faith and friends mean the world to me and I’m inspired by knowing the difference that giving an item, handmade and from the heart, can make to someone’s day. I hope you enjoy sharing in my (ad)venture and find some of your own inspiration along the way!

10 things to know about me:

  3. I have a teaching background (high school & early childhood).
  4. When I’m creating there’s always mess everywhere even though I try to be tidy!
  5. I’m really scared of spiders 🙁
  6. I’m a qualified genealogist and love the research challenge for myself and others!
  7. I play the guitar & sing and now only own 4 guitars; my favourite is a Maton CW80 12 string 🙂
