Meet Our Newest Design Team Member

Please give a hearty welcome to Katie Keonig! She is the newest member of the Stamp Fever Design Team. We will let her introduce herself in her own words:


Hi! I'm Katie Koenig wife of almost 5 years to an awesome chef husband. I manage a small private foundation by day and craft by night; at least I try to when life permits.  I gave stamping a try about 14 years ago, however without a good teacher or place to go I packed away my stash.  A little over a year ago I rediscovered, via the internet, the world of paper crafts and found an awesome local store, Stamp Fever, to practice and interact with my new crafting family. 
Bright clean colors are something I love as well as encouraging folks creativity. One of my first jobs was teaching, since then I've had numerous jobs teaching all sorts of things. I'm constantly learning the latest techniques and trying new things. My husband once said of me, "when it came to learning at the buffet of knowledge she just picks up the table."  I am so excited and honored to join the Stamp Fever design team and I look forward to meeting all of you soon.


Katie brings a refreshing enthusiasm for stamping and crafting to our team and we are sure you will love her cheerful disposition and penchant for all things bright and happy!


Katie will be teaching her first class on March 10 at 10am. Check out her card designs:




About this class, Katie says: "The class is focused on distress stains and their uses. I used more bold colors but that can be easily changed as can the sentiments. As this is my first class I planned on having at least one drawing as well as some sweet treats. I hope you can make it! "

It's Tim Time Again!!

Sign up today for Kathy's Tim Time Cards class this Thursday or Friday at 6pm.

Kathy will be sharing some "Oldie but Goodie" techniques with these fabulous card designs:




Here's a message from Kathy:


While we are waiting for Tim's new goodies to arrive in the store, we'll visit some "oldies but goodies" techniques!
I'll be embossing and stamping the images for you to distress with Tim's inks.  
Bring these inks if you have them...Iced Spruce, Gathered Twigs, Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen, and Bundled Sage...as always, if you don't have them, they will be furnished to use in class.  Please bring your own blending tools and craft sheet, glue and foam dots if possible.  We will have them to share..Also all the sentiments are totally optional...I know many wish to add their own.  Perfectly alright with me.
This will be a really easy class, and as I'm using up my Tim paper stash, you will have a choice of various background paper to choose for your cards.  So be prepared to make a few decisions as I won't have enough of the same paper for everyone.  Hope to see you all in the store!!  Kathy

Call Linda today to reserve your spot in either the Thursday or Friday class.
