Utah-based crafts direct sales company Stampin’ Up! CEO and co-founder Shelli Gardner has stepped down as CEO from the company. Shelli and her husband, Sterling Garnder, are planning to step away from their business to serve on a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The couple are currently serving on the Hawaii Honolulu Mission for a period of 12 months — an experience that they are hoping will inspire others to think more deeply about their faith.
While the public might be surprised by the couple’s choice to vacate their role in the company, they said that the plan was always for them to eventually leave the business, though the timeline was never solidified — until a recent stake conference during which they felt compelled to go on a mission; a

Talk Fusion continues to demonstrate international success in countries throughout the world. In the sovereign state of Gabon, Africa, Associate Judicael Obame was hard at work as a full time PhD student in biological sciences.
