Nellie Van Leeuwen

https://dutchstamptramp.wordpress.com

My name is Nellie van Leeuwen. I am 53 years old. I live in the Netherlands with my husband and our 3 dogs. I'm a real "stamptramp". I wander from one technique, colour or stamp to the other. From cute to vintage, mixe media, whatever. I like to try everything. That's why I chose the nickname "Dutchstamptramp" . I am over the moon that I can prolong my membership of the Stampotique Designteam. I simply love to work with Stampotique stamps from all the different designers!

I am a crafty, stay-at-home mom. I love learning new things and sharing creativity and art with everyone. I have been creating with stamps since I was in grade-school and love that as an adult, I can continue to share my passion with others.

Hello, My name is Tera Callihan. I am a dental hygienist by day (yes I know how ironic it is that i am known as "the crafty sugar addict", but the addiction is real! ) I am also a rubber stamp addict by night! In the art world I am mostly known for my addiction to creating mail art. I also love Artist trading cards, as well as all other things inky! In the real world I am married to my high school sweet heart and we live happily ever after with our wonderful fur children!

My name is Corrie Herriman, I am 55 years old and I live in Venlo in the Netherlands with my husband David. I have been crafting all my life but only discovered rubber stamps, ink and mixed media a few years ago. I stopped working in 2010 so I have lots of time to spend on my inky hobby. I love making cards and ATC’s, Art Journaling and occasionally I like to alter something like a box or a book. I am so happy to be staying on this team and hope to keep on inspiring you with my, mostly colourful, projects.

Hi, My name is Gay Peplow, long time crafter and general painty person. You will often see me around blogland entering challenges, especially here on the Stampotique blog and of course on my blog. 

Currently I’m living in the south of England with my hubby, our boys have mainly flown the nest now.

I am totally thrilled to be a part of the Stampotique team, the talented crew and these fab, quirky characters inspire me constantly!

My style is probably a bit simple but I like to let the designs shine, it is a big challenge to get an idea across with only few elements on the page/card. I’m so looking forward to seeing all your creations in our coming challenges, come and join us!

I'm a native New Yorker living in New Jersey with my husband, daughter, and two cats. I've been papercrafting since June 27, 2000 and stamping since July 2001.

“Helloo! My name is Julie and I hail from the often-soggy Pacific NW section of the U.S. I am accompanied on life’s adventures by my husband of 23 years, Chris, my daughter (19) and two sons (17 & 14), and some furry and feathery friends. 

As a child my favorite part of school was when the teacher pulled out the art supplies. Color, texture and composition still catch my eye. To support my paper and stamp buying habits I opened an Etsy shop, Elves In The Attic, in 2009. I’ve been a fan of Stampotique for years and love the wonderfully quirky style of their designers. I’m so thrilled and honored to be a part of this fabulous team!

I'm Jo- I live in a small village in East Sussex in the south of England. I've always worked in art and design one way or another after training as a textile designer, whether its been retail, sketching, teaching or publishing. I've recently returned to stamping again after taking a crafting break for a few years. Prior to this, I enjoyed being on a number of stamping design teams, one of which was Stampotique Originals! In May 2010, my first rubber stamp designs for Stampotique were released, including Bee, the first in a range of flora, fauna, sayings, and patterns that I've since gone on to create, which has all been very exciting for me. I'm really happy to be back on the team again.

"My papercraft passion is rubber stamping, as a young girl I would captivated by the lady in the post office, stamping letters etc. I find inspiration whilst out walking with my best friend and muse, Poppy, my miniature schnauzer. My favourite stamp is often my newest but one I always go back to is Stampotique's Moon Girl, she is so serene yet versatile. My favourite technique is usually the latest thing I'm trying out, this keeps my art quite varied as I never know what I'm going to do next! My style is often described as cute and whimsical.

Hi, my name is Gloria, but I am also know around blog land as 'Creepy Glowbugg'.

Halloween isn't just my favorite holiday, it's a way of life for me. I bleed orange and black. I prefer life on the darker/creepier side of things and try to reflect that in my art as well. I love creating with all kinds of mediums and techniques, but my heart is rooted firmly in stamping, coloring, and paper crafting. I am thrilled to be a part of the new Stampotique design team, and look forward to creating great art with these wonderful stamps.

Hi, I'm Valerie and I'm thrilled to be returning to the Stampotique Design Team in 2016! I just took a look back and I can't believe I've been part of the Stampotique family since the beginning of 2010! How time flies when you're having fun! Every time I sit down to create with the Stampotique stamps, I smile and often giggle while I work - somehow, they take on a life of their own and have their own sense of humor! Over a year ago, I had the pleasure of meeting the "parents" of the Stampotique family, Carol and Jim, and I instantly felt like we had been family forever - I can't wait until the next time we visit!! I'm looking forward to every minute of creativity with this group of genius crafters!
