Meet the Design Team

Shirley 

Hello Crafty friends! I'm Shirley and I live in Illinois with my dear husband and 3 fur babies.

I started stamping in 2006. Scenic cards have always been my favorite, so when Blue Knight Rubber Stamps and I found each other, I was hooked.I like coloring my cards with Copic markers, using bright colors. Pink is a color I especially like to work with.I am excited to be working with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Design Team and am looking forward to continuing making cards.

Nancy 

Hi, I'm Nancy and I started scrapbooking back in 2002.  I have always loved all things "stationary" related since I was a kid and collected many fountain pens, markers and such paper supplies.  In 2012 I was introduced to rubber stamping through Stampin Up and my official start to card making.  I have found that card making is an instant gratification for my creative outlet.  I started a YouTube channel 3 years ago as a way to communicate and teach my step daughter what I was doing since she lived an hour away.  My YouTube channel has grown into a supportive community of average crafters using  supplies and stamps from many manufacturers.  I focus on using what you already have and all levels of creating for handmade fun.  My daughter, Lia, is six and will often show how fun and easy stamping can be.  You can find us at: Nancy Stamps on YouTube, NancyStamps15 on Facebook & Instagram.

Connie

I have been creating for 11 years and love finding red rubber stamp company's that are designed and manufactured well.  Blue Knight fits the bill on that. I live in rural Texas, on a ranch, and wouldn't change it for the world.  I love down time to create but I love getting outside and enjoying the wildlife. I love the challenge of using stamps together to create a scene.  Blue Knight stamps are perfect for that.  I just need to keep practicing~

Christine

I am a Mom of 3 and retired from.... a 40 year nursing career,  teaching dance and a competitive ballroom dancer. Expressive art in some form or another is a common thread in my life. I have been “crafting” something since I can remember (long time) and stamping cards for 20+ years.  I also enjoy sewing, crocheting and have most recently added watercolor painting to my repertoire.

I am now experimenting with merging different mediums and creating pieces on different surfaces, though cards remain my focus. 

I look forward to sharing my work with you, HERE, at my blog

Joy

Hi crafty friends!  I am Joy and live in the northern Kentucky area and love all things paper!  I am so lucky to have a husband who enables/ supports my paper crafting ventures and encourages me daily.   I am a fur mama to two Yorkies, a macaw, and a cockatoo.   My macaw shares my crafty studio and she chats me up all day long.  It is never a dull moment in my house and I wouldn't have it any other way.   I have been crafting for twenty years off and on, and I have really come to love stamping and coloring with Copics.   Second to copics, I find myself getting lost in distress oxide ink backgrounds.   I honestly can't say that I have one style that I stick to.  I love clean and simple designs, but then I love to add layers and textures to my projects.   Maybe after we get to know one another more, you can help me decide what my "go to" style is.   My favorite part of designing is giving my card or project away.  There is nothing better than bringing a little smile and happiness to someone's day.   

You can find me on my blog:   JoyWilsonInk or on Instagram.  I hope to see you soon! 

Michelle ~ Guest Designer

Hello my crafty and creative friends!
I'm Michelle and I'm very happy to introduce myself to you. I am a native New Yorker, living on Long Island, with what I call "my little family: my sweetheart Gary, my daughter Chelsea and our perfect puppy, Jackson. I am a 3x's cancer survivor and I am acutely aware of the fact that my life is  blessed in countless ways and with wonderful people and happenings that keep me grateful and inspired each and every day.
My greatest joy comes when I am spending time with family and cherished friends, and yes! Of course! When I am in my studio creating cards.
I enjoy every aspect of the creative process from start to finish. I love adding color to beautiful stamped images (especially floral images) whether it be with pencil coloring, Copics or ink. I am totally smitten with watercoloring (emphasis on "totally") The magic of water coloring will never stop making my crafty little heart skip a beat. Through my 25+ yers of card making I have met so many wonderful and amazingly creative card makers who have become friends. That's a beautiful thing, I think.
I've been a lover of  Blue Knight Rubber Stamps for a long time and am happy to be part of this fabulous Design Team.

Danya ~ Social Media Manager

Hi, my name is Danya, and I am the social media coordinator for BKRS. I started out as a scrapbooker, but was introduced to stamping and card making by Lynn when our boys were in elementary school. I haven’t met a craft I wouldn’t try, and besides paper crafting I especially enjoy sewing and crocheting. I live in rural Maryland with my husband Joe, son Zach, two dogs and 16 chickens! I look forward to focusing on Blue Knight's social media presence.
