Welcoming a New Design Team Member

We are so pleased to announce that Lynette Lundquist has joined our little band of designers. She brings a fresh perspective to stamping and always has a little DIY twist to share in her classes. She doesn't have a blog or online gallery...yet; we are working on it.

Hi my name is Lynette,

 My husband and I have lived for 25 years in a quaint little neighborhood in Garden Grove. Much of our time is spent maintaining the yard and a 59 year old house. Good thing I love to do carpentry and gardening!  Recently after working for 34 years as a drafting technician I decided to take an early retirement and pursue other interests, stamping being one of them. This artistic field is fairly new to me and I've only been involved in it seriously for 3 years, but just love it!  I'm not sure what you would call my style, but I do love to create things with paper and add a splash of inkiness. I'm always open to new ideas and looking forward to working with the Stamp Fever Design Team to help plant a little seed of creativity in your life. See you at the shop! 

Here's a few peeks at Lynette's creativity:

 Can you say Do-it-Yourself chipboard? 

Lynette designed these sweet note pads using homemade chipboard!

And how about some DIY Washi Tape...

Lynette just taught a class where she not only used this trendy embellishment but showed how you can make your own. She included a sweet washi tape holder, card and tag in the class!

I'm sure you will all love the classes that Lynette will be teaching in the coming months. Look for her in the store during Shop Hop and give her a warm welcome!

Classes....we have classes for you!

First up this Saturday, June 2 Katie has some great techniques and styles to share with you:

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! "
