About MNL Hive

The Maker Behind MNL Hive

Hi, I’m Christine — a mom and maker who turned a childhood love for crafts into a full-blown print-sell business.

What began as a few handmade gifts and planners quickly bloomed into late-night printing sprints, custom packaging chaos, and a very real dream: to help fellow creatives turn their ideas into something tangible, meaningful, and profitable.

What We Do

MNL Hive is your creative partner for all things print and paper.

We specialize in:

  • Personalized Stationery & Keepsakes – for moms, teachers, and dreamers
  • Print-Sell Tools – designed for side hustlers, crafters, and small business owners
  • Ready-to-Resell Templates – with commercial rights for physical resale
  • Workshops & Systems – for creative entrepreneurs launching from scratch

Everything we offer is created from lived experience — tested, refined, and printed in real life before ever hitting our shop.

🛠 From Maker to Mentor

MNL Hive isn’t just a shop. It’s a movement for creatives who:

  • Want to create without gatekeeping
  • Need systems that actually work
  • Prefer real-world-tested tools over generic downloads

Through our Creator Pass and digital vault, we’re giving early-stage makers the exact resources I wish I had when I started — minus the overwhelm and endless Googling.

👩‍👧 Why I Do This

I’m a full-time mom to my daughter Bella, and this business is part of our story.
MNL Hive was born out of nap times, office breaks, and “what if” moments.

Every time I hear a fellow crafter say,

“You made it easier for me to start,”


I’m reminded why MNL Hive exists.

✨ Curious About How I Learned All This?

From experimenting with sticker paper to running laser jobs at 2 AM — I’ve tested tools, ruined prints, and figured out what actually works (and what’s just a cute Pinterest idea).

The blog’s where I share those lessons — the wins, the mistakes, and the how-to’s — so you don’t have to start from scratch.
