New CutCardStock Design Team announcement!

So happy to announce the new CutCardStock design team!  Though the official start of the new Design Team term isn't until September 1, we just couldn't keep the news to ourselves any longer!

Leave a comment to welcome our new team.  We are certain their creative use of the CutCardStock products will inspire you for the months to come.

Meet Amber, Design Team Coordinator: 

Hi, I'm Amber Lawrence and so happy to share that I've been working with CutCardStock for over 4 years now! I live in the Flathead Valley of Montana with my husband of nearly 15 years.  I've been papercrafting for almost 13 years and have quite a stash built up, if you can imagine!  I love working with CutCardStock and the design team as it brings together all that I enjoy.... design, papercrafting and working with other talented crafters.  In my "real life", I am a freelance Graphic Designer and teach Graphic Design and Web Technology students at our local community college.  Oh, and not to mention chase after my husband, two boys, our Goldendoodle Bella, and help tend to our 100+ fruit tree orchard!  I work to find time in my schedule to create for others, something that brings me a lot of joy!  I looking forward to seeing all the fantastic work from the new Design Team!

Meet Kristie:

Hi! My name is Kristie Larsen. I am a stay at home mother to 4 crazy boys all under the age of 10. I am from the USA but currently live overseas in Singapore. I have been creating for most of my life dabbling in different crafty things but in 2009, I found card making and have loved all things paper, stamps and ink ever since! I have an special place in my heart for die cutting and trying out different techniques with my stamp stash. When I'm not crafting I like to read, play the guitar and hang with the boys in my life, which usually involves skateboarding, soccer, swimming, movies and regular ninja-fighting mayhem!

Meet Jacqueline:

I am a retired college professor of Spanish and Psychology and live in Western 
North Carolina. Obviously, I love all things PAPER, and have enjoyed the past 5 years in the papercrafting world. After much research, I found CutCardstock and the Curious Iridescent White (Cryogen White) for Copic coloring early in 2009...and have been a fan of CutCardstock since that time. The magic in that product with the motion it brings to the image through the mica inclusion is amazing. I would describe my papercrafting style as quite eclectic and I can certainly attribute any of my successes to all of the impressive papercrafting artists I have met in Cyberia over these past years. After a bout with breast cancer and the ensuing surgery, chemo, and radiation I also look to the beauty of each day as an inspiration. I have been active in the Zumba and running world for motivation and the papercrafting world for friendship, fun, and relaxation. I am humbled and thrilled to have been selected for this most auspicious Design Team and am looking forward to showing my friends in blogland the magnificent products available at CutCardstock!

Meet Alexia:

Hi, my name is Alexia Misso and I'm from Long Island, NY. I'm married, and my husband and I have two young children (2 and 4). Before I got married I worked as a software engineer, now I'm a full time SAHM. I started crafting back in 2011 around September and fell in love with it since then. I don't have a specific style for creating but I did notice my creations tend to stay clean. I usually make cards, and occasionally I scrapbook and create mixed media arts too. I'm thankful for CutCardStock for giving me this amazing opportunity to design for them and I look forward to working with other talented team designers and be inspired by them!  Alexia's Blog: Picture Life
