Our Story

Hi there! My name is Alyssa, owner and founder of Rural Passions Handcrafted. I'm a stay-at-home mom to one, beautiful baby girl and one fur baby. Shortly after my daughter turned one year old, I decided to quit my full-time job and be a full time Momma. Doing this not only gave me more time with my family, but my hobbies and passions as well. Ever since I can remember, I've always been drawn to the creative side of things, DIYs, photography, crafting etc. In April of 2023, I was gifted a Cricut Cutting Machine by someone close to me. At this time, I was merely just curious about Cricut and only understood the basic jobs that it performs, not knowing how it works at all. So, the challenge was accepted. I opened it up and started to learn how to use my own Cricut. After I started to get a good handle of it, I started to personalize just about everything myself. Anything from t-shirts, sweatshirts, can koozies, cups, tumblers, stickers and much more, bringing my designs and ideas to life. The curiosity of "what else can I do and create?" and having a Cricut just kept opening more doors for me. I found sublimation and other people doing these beautiful Epoxy and glitter Tumblers with decals. I knew right away, that is what I want to do and more. There was a lot to learn and still am learning a lot, but I got all my tools and supplies and made it happen. From there it became clear, as a stay-at-home mom, I wanted to blend my passion for crafting with the flexibility to be there for my family. What started as a creative outlet quickly evolved into a small business venture. So here we are, sharing my creative products with all of you!
