Hello, my name is Esther, and I live in the beautiful state of Virginia with my husband and daughter. My mom encouraged me to take up cardmaking in 2005, and I've been hooked ever since. I’ve made some wonderful friends through this hobby, and love that I can use my creations to brighten someone’s day with a bit of handmade kindness in their mailbox! It's a pleasure to be a part of The Card Concept team.
Hi Everyone! I’m Julie- I live in Maryland and am a fairly recent widow plus my last beloved kitty passed away this year. A lot of changes on the home front and I seem to have less time to create cards but I still love designing when I can! I have been artistic all of my life, and in addition to creating cards, I enjoying sewing/quilting, drawing/painting, and recently, creating vintage junk journals! Since I enjoy experimenting with different styles and mediums, my overall style tends to be a bit eclectic. Hopefully I will inspire you to create a card and join us!
Hi! My name is Michele. My husband and I, along with our feline fur babies live here in tropical Florida where we love the beautiful beaches and the year-round golf! When I'm not crafting, I am a Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant. I love working with layers of paper and color and am thrilled to be a part of The Card Concept!
Hello stampers! My name is Karen Ksenzakovic and I am so excited to be a part of this creative team. I live in central New Jersey with my husband of 34 years, 2 adult children and my 4-month-old puppy. I have a soccer coach son and a daughter who is in college for Forensic Chemistry. I've worked in accounting for over 38 years and also work for a Dog Bakery Boutique for the past 5 years. I love to cook & bake, and I've always done some kind of crafting. I've sewed, crocheted, knitted, cross stitched and have been doing paper crafting for over 16 yrs when I was introduced to Stampin' Up! I decided to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator 4 years ago and love it. I love designing all styles of cards from clean and simple to collage and I've also done some scrap booking. I love layering and especially love water coloring and coloring with alcohol markers.
Hey there, crafty friends! I'm Karen Letchworth of My Cup Runneth Over. I've been crafting most of my life...cross stitch, scrapbooking, card-making and now even doing fun arts & crafts projects with my (3) beautiful grandbabies. I'm a retired, married (37+ yrs), wife and mother (3 grown kids) who spends the vast majority of my free-time either in my craft room or in front of the tv watching my favorite shows. I'm excited to be part of The Card Concept Design Team, and I hope that some of my cards/designs will inspire you.
Hi, I'm Kerry from Melbourne, Australia. I have two gorgeous adult daughters and a very new and adorable grandson. My crafting journey began when my girls were young and I discovered scrapbooking, then from there progressed to card making. My style has evolved over the years from primarily clean and layered to experimenting with shabby chic, clean and simple, and dabbling more and more into mixed media. I currently work from home, so have plenty of opportunities to slip into my craft room and lose myself in creating. It's a pleasure to be part of The Card Concept design team for another year.
Hello! My name is Mackie Robertson! I live in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina. I have been married over 40 years. We have a grown son and lovely daughter-in-law. I am a retired Dental Hygienist. I went to my first Stampin' Up party several years ago and I have been inky ever since! I love ALL styles of stamping...from CAS to Mixed Media. I started my blog to share my creations, and to hopefully inspire others to join this wonderful art form! Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone! I’m Julie- I live in Maryland with my sweet almost 18 yr old "fur-baby", Victoria.

Hi! I'm Nancy Penir, and I'm overjoyed to be joining one of my favorite challenges, The Card Concept! Married, mom of 5, and grandmother of 11 darlings; 6 boys, 5 girls. I'd like to say my life's slowed down with an empty nest, but I've filled it with crafting! I love making cards, sewing, keeping up the garden, (we live on 2 1/2 acres), raising chickens, and watching it all grow! I've found the most wonderful community of talent and kindness through all of you. Nurturing our connection is my passion! Style? Making layers and patterns all work on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" canvas!

Hello! My name is Kim Singdahlsen and I live in Colorado with my husband and two cats. We have two college-aged sons - one is nearby, the other far away. I fill my weekdays as an accountant for my local town government and weekends enjoying our Colorado mountains. Living in a household of men and spending my days with numbers and spreadsheets, is it any wonder that I love the world of cardmaking?! I am most comfortable in the Clean and Layered style - a fresh look but not necessarily simple!

However, I really started paper crafting when I was a stay at home mom. I started scrapbooking our memories which led to cardmaking.

Hello, my name is Esther and I live in the beautiful state of Virginia. I've been making handmade cards since 2005. My style has developed and changed over the years, with my current love being textures and layers.

I'm a fun-loving, dance party enthusiast living in rural Ontario that fills my time with creativity! I'm an avid reader, love binge-watching tv shows while I work in my crafty corner, and enjoy hanging out with my husband and kids. I work on our property growing flowers for bouquets that I sell at a roadside stand. My cardmaking style adapts to whatever mood I'm in. I range from feeling comfortable creating clean, bold designs with pops of colour and sparkle, to lots of layers and fussier designs.

Hi! My name is Lesley and I live in Canada with my family. I’ve been crafting since 2007 and began blogging in 2009. I love to watercolour and I tend to create more clean and layered cards. I love playing with paper and ink!
Hi Everyone! I’m Julie- I live in Maryland with my wonderful husband of 36+ years and our beautiful "fur-baby", Victoria. I have been artistic all of my life and love creating cards, sewing, painting and recently, vintage junk journals! Since I love to experiment, my style tends to be a bit eclectic. Hopefully I will inspire you to create a card and join us!
Hi! My name is Michele. I am a northern transplant to a sweet Southern town here in the deep South. My husband and I, along with our four feline fur babies live in steamy Alabama where we love Southern style barbecue and Crimson Tide football! I've been artsy all my life but started card making a few years ago and fell in love with this wonderful crafting community. I love working with layers of paper and color and am thrilled to join to be designing with The Card Concept!
Hi! I'm Nancy Penir, and I'm overjoyed to be part of my favorite challenges, The Card Concept! Married, mom of 5, and grandmother of 11 darlings; 6 boys, 5 girls. I'd like to say my life's slowed down with an empty nest, but I've filled it with crafting! I love making cards, sewing, keeping up the garden, (we live on 2 1/2 acres), raising chickens, and watching it all grow! I've found the most wonderful community of talent and kindness through all of you. Nurturing our connection is my passion! Style? Making layers and patterns all work on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" canvas!
I'm a fun-loving, dance party enthusiast living in rural Ontario that fills my time with creativity! My two children keep me busy with their interests and my husband and I enjoy geocaching with them. I'm an avid reader and lead the book club at our local library. My cardmaking style adapts to whatever mood I'm in. I range from feeling comfortable creating clean, bold designs with pops of colour and sparkle, to lots of layers and fussier designs. I enjoy creating felt flower creations and spray-painting and adding glitter to anything in our house the family will allow.

Hello, I am Betty. I am thrilled to design for The Card Concept Challenge. Inspiration Challenges are my favorite. I live in North Carolina with my husband, Greg, and our two cats. I am a high school English teacher. I have two children. My daughter Erica is a nurse, and my son Dawson is in college. I feel I have always done some sort of crafting since I was a kid. However, I really started paper crafting when I was a stay at home mom. I started scrapbooking our memories which led to cardmaking.

Hello, my name is Esther and I live in the beautiful state of Virginia. I've been making handmade cards since 2005. My style has developed and changed over the years, with my current love being textures and layers. I belong to a card ministry that sends happy mail to hurting people all over the USA, so I send them out about as fast as I can make them. I hope my work will inspire you to be creative in your own unique way - and to brighten someone's day with an encouraging note in their mailbox!

Hi there! My name is Susan. I live in a small town in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada with my husband of 25+ years and one of our daughters (who is getting ready to go off to University). Our other daughter left a few years ago and is almost finished her schooling. There aren't any craft stores where I live but thankfully there's the internet or I'd go crazy. My husband and my kids would tell you that's not a long trip - haha. By day I'm an Education Assistant in the town high school (we only have one) and by night I'm a stamper. I love all styles of cardmaking but usually find myself gravitating towards the CAS style.

The 2018 Design Team
Hi Everyone! I'm Vicki — a wife, mom and Mimi to 12 grandkids and 1 great grandchild as of May 2018. I am also Puppy Mom to Holly Noelle and Reese Mackenna, my two little Yorkies. My hubby and I have been married for 34 years. I started out as a scrapbooker and Creative Memories Consultant in 1997. I dabbled in cardmaking a tiny little bit until May of 2015. Once I started my blog, Twinkling Paper Studio, on August 1st of 2015, I was "All In". I give a lot of "how to" information on my blog so that you can try to recreate a similar project if you like. My style is usually Classic and Elegant and normally clean as well. I hope I can inspire you in some way when you are creating.
I am blessed to be married to my best friend for 35+ years and currently we are now retired! Since childhood I have been drawing and/or painting, and in 1999 was introduced to stamping at a Stampin’ Up! party and have been "hooked” on cardmaking ever since! I tend to become creative in the wee hours of the morning and love to design with my two beautiful “kitties” by my side. I like to experiment with different design styles and am thrilled to be part of the Card Concept Design Team!
Hello….my name is Kim Heggins, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my hubby of almost 26 years and 25year old daughter. I am so excited to be part of this incredible team. I am a preschool program director/teacher and soon to be retired teacher, can't wait! I started making cards when my daughter was born, I made her birth announcements and have not looked back. I love to sew, bake, scrapbook, quilt, cross stitch and making cards. I have a very supportive hubby and spend most of my free time in my Mickey Mouse themed craft room, I love everything Disney. My style is pretty much CAS with a twist, I love bright colors and just started using Copics and having so much fun!

Robin Messenheimer
Aloha, my name is Robin Messenheimer, and I live with my husband, Harry, and dog, Hoku, in a gorgeous garden on the Big Island of Hawai'i. We have 5 grandchildren on the USA mainland, and get to see them only once or twice a year. In our rural part of Hawaii, there’s not much in the way of retail crafting shops. So I joined Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator 10 years ago shortly after we moved here. My personal style tends toward Clean and Simple with lots of layers, and what you see from me will be 95% Stampin’ Up!

The 2017 Jan-July Design Team
Becca Cruger
I've been crafting ever since I discovered how to attach glitter to paper! You'll frequently find me with ink all over my hands because I LOVE working with messy products - especially Ranger Distress products. I am the owner of Damsel of Distressed Cards in Grand Forks, ND and teach card making and mixed media art classes. I also design stamps for STAMPlorations. My card designs are very eclectic and my favorite way to create is by layering and incorporating mixed media.

Hi, my name is Karen Davis and I live in
Auckland, New Zealand. Graham and I have been married for 20+ years and we
share our home with three dear old cats, and one darling rabbit. I work from home designing and writing
patterns for quilts, bags, and softies, for my business, Pieceful Life Designs.
I have also been a quilt tutor for 8 years. My spare time is spent making
cards. I started dabbling in paper crafting seven years ago, but it wasn’t
until the end of last year that I became aware of the huge online card making
community and challenges. I am delighted to be a part of The Card
Concept’s amazingly talented design team.

I love to sew, bake, scrapbook, quilt, cross stitch and making cards. I have a very supportive hubby and spend most of my free time in my Mickey Mouse themed craft room, I love everything Disney. My style is pretty much CAS with a twist, I love bright colors and just started using Copics and having so much fun!

Southern town here in the deep South. My husband and I, along with our four
feline fur babies live in steamy Alabama where we love Southern style barbecue

a few years ago and fell in love with this wonderful crafting community. I love

Hi! I'm Nancy Penir, and I'm overjoyed to be joining one of my favorite challenges, The Card Concept! Married, mom of 5, and grandmother of 11 darlings; 6 boys, 5 girls. I'd like to say my life's slowed down with an empty nest, but I've filled it with crafting! I love making cards, sewing, keeping up the garden, (we live on 2 1/2 acres), raising chickens, and watching it all grow! I've found the most wonderful community of talent and kindness through all of you. Nurturing our connection is my passion! Style? Making layers and patterns all work on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" canvas!
I am a St. Patrick's day baby from
Beautiful British Columbia, Canada with a passion for card making. When I'm not
in the studio, I'm a Grade One elementary teacher, happy wife to Tony, proud
mom to Jake, and loving Grandmoe to Ashlynn and Beckham. I am honoured to
be on The Card Concept Design Team!
Hi there! My name is
Susan. I live in a small town in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada with my
husband of 25 years and one of our daughters (who is getting ready to go off to
University). Our other daughter left a few years ago and is almost finished her
schooling. There aren't any craft stores where I live but thankfully there's
the internet or I'd go crazy. My husband and my kids would tell you that's not
a long trip - haha. By day I'm an Education Assistant in the town high school
(we only have one) and by night I'm a stamper. I love all styles of cardmaking
but usually find myself gravitating towards the CAS style. I'm super excited to be
joining The Card Concept Design Team!

I feel my style is mostly Clean And Simple (CAS) but every now and then I get a bit fancier ;) I am thrilled to be joining The Card Concept Design Team!

Hello! My name is

lines and fun details. I am thrilled to be part of The Card Concept

I tend to design late at night and am fortunate to have two beautiful “kitties” as my constant companions. I feel so honored (and excited) to be part of the Card Concept Design Team and am looking forward to seeing all of your creations each challenge!

Hi! Some of you may know me as Three Trees, but my friends and family just call me Deanne. I have been paper crafting basically all of my life. I made my first scrapbook when I was five (and still have it today!) and haven’t stopped since.
I live right smack-dab in the middle of Canada (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to be exact), so to keep warm and cozy indoors I continued scrapbooking. Then I realized that I would rather share my hobby with others and started card creating. I have been crafting cards since 2008 and love it more every day!

Hi! My name is Narelle Farrugia and I live in Melbourne Australia. I'm married and have two boys aged 17 and 14.

Before that, I never had any interest in crafting and back then if you gave me something to cut I would hand it back saying "I'm left handed and can't cut straight - you better do it". Don't know how it happened as now I fussy cut everything, I'm totally addicted to challenges and want to spend all my spare time in my craft cave. I'm so excited to be creating with this team of talented ladies and can't wait to share my Vintage/Shabby creations with you!

Hello everyone, I’m Colleen Dietrich! I’ve always tended to have only one hobby at a time, and in the past, wreath-making, miniatures, gardening and quilting were interests of mine. Do housecleaning and organizing count as hobbies? ;-) I enjoy those, too. Card-making entered my life in 2007, via an SU demonstration, and blogging in 2010. Card-making is my very favorite hobby. It trumps everything else! Thanks to Lesley for asking me aboard. So happy to be here!

I started cardmaking in 2006, at a Stampin’ Up! Party and have never looked back. Before that, I would not have claimed to be crafty or creative at all – I’m an accountant!
Currently, I’m a sahm to my teenage son Struan and my ‘tween’ daughter Kate. I also volunteer in my daughter’s school and I am the piano accompanist for two children’s choirs.
I’m thrilled to be working with such talented card makers on a challenge blog that has such an interesting premise. I love clean, graphic design with bold colours and lots of white space, but I’m looking forward to learning a lot from the other DT members and participants who specialize in other styles!

Hi there...I'm Cathy Weber and I live in Southern California with my husband of 34 years. It wasn't until my three children grew up that I discovered there was a "crafty" side of me. My typical crafting style is Clean and Layered, but I am going to stretch myself right out of my comfort zone and be one of the designers who represent the Classy and Elegant style. Those two styles actually have a lot in common and I hope to be able to combine the best of both as I join what I consider to be the “hottest” card challenge out there today…The Card Concept. Let’s see how much “Classy & Elegant” I have in me!

Hi, I’m Mary…. married to Alan, and live just outside of Pittsburgh. My passion for paper crafting started as a young girl. Many summer days were spent playing with paper dolls and “making clothes” for them to wear. Little did I realize that I would become such a paper-crafting enthusiast years down the road. Introduced to rubber-stamping 12 years ago and my obsession for card making is still going strong. Excited to be a part of the wild card team.

Then I was introduced to stamping a few years back, and cardmaking slowly started taking over my life!
When I am not cutting paper or getting inky, I am a school nurse. I also enjoy traveling and photography. I am thrilled to be working with such a talented group of ladies!
Hi, my name is Karen Davis and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. Graham and I have been married for 20 years and we share our home with three dear old cats, and one darling rabbit.
I work from home designing and writing patterns for quilts, bags, and softies, for my business, Pieceful Life Designs. I have also been a quilt tutor for 8 years.
My spare time is spent making cards. I started dabbling in paper crafting seven years ago, but it wasn’t until the end of last year that I became aware of the huge online card making community and challenges.
I am delighted to be a part of The Card Concept’s amazingly talented design team. I will be sharing the Freestyle Collage Style with Cindy Lovell.

I enjoy most of all sending my cards in hopes of bringing a smile to someones face. I hope that my work makes you smile and inspires you to create!
Hello! My name is Laurie Willison and I am a mom of 2 from Kansas. I am an party time RN and part time SAHM and a full time crafter! :) I have started scrapbooking back in 1998 and then was introduced to stamping in 2007....and I have been hooked every since. My style is pretty much CAS. I love white space and find myself using white card bases a lot, with a pop of color here and there. You can find me over on my blog, Soapbox Creations. A big thank you to Tracey for the invitation to spend the month of February with this amazingly talented group of ladies!
Hi! I am a Canadian living in the lovely state of Washington. I'm a mom to 2 fabulous kids and I'm engaged to the most wonderful man! He fully supports my crafting and since his hobby is building an airplane, buying a $6 pad of paper is nothing compared to his shopping list! I've been crafting forever but signed up for a scrapbooking company in 2001, things changed quickly when I was introduced to Stampin' Up in 2002. I started a gallery at Splitcoast Stampers in 2005 and my blog in 2007. I'm a challenge junkie that loves to use colors & patterns in my projects.

Hi There! I'm Shannon K Jaramillo (pronounced Har-a-me-yo) and I live in Southern California. I have always been a crafty person who discovered scrapbooking while my boys were young. I discovered card making and stamping in particular in 2010 and have been making cards ever since! I am an empty nester and spend my spare moments in my crafting room. The creative process brings me great joy, as does organizing all of my beloved tools, stamps and papers. Oh! and ribbon and embellishments, we mustn’t forget about those! My style has been defining itself over the years until now I find myself tending toward clean and simple/layered/graphic but I do LOVE pretty papers and sparkles!
