Deb Felts
Hello everyone! My name is Deb Felts and I’m thrilled to be part of Gourmet Rubber Stamp’s design team! I’m a homeschooling mom of 17-year-old Matthew and wife of 27 years to Patrick. I grew up in southwest Louisiana but currently live in Fleming Island, Florida, just south of Jacksonville. I’ve always been a crafter (sewing/needle-arts, basketry, tole painting, stained glass and more!), and began scrapbooking when Matthew was just a baby. When I was introduced to stamping a few years ago, I found that it merged my love of paper crafts with my experience using tints and shades in tole painting and I was immediately hooked! Stamping is such an amazing hobby…I love every minute of it and I love the friends I’ve made along the way! It is a real honor to be invited to stamp with Gourmet Rubber Stamps and I hope you’ll find inspiration in my *work*!

Jeni Allen
My name is Jeni Allen and I’m tickled pink to part of the Gourmet Rubber Stamps design team!! I’ve been married to a tall dark and handsome man for 11 years now…and have four beautiful children. I feel very blessed to spend my days with my kids making (on most days) fun memories to capture! My love affair for rubber stamps, ink, ribbon, and all that comes with it started almost 11 years ago…I walked into a fantastic stamp store called Impress…it was a dream! It didn’t take long to become completely addicted to the whole papercrafting idea! One of the things I love most about stamping and/or papercrafting, is sharing the 100% joy that people experience when ‘stamp meets paper’….it makes doing what I love to do so rewarding! I really am excited for this new adventure! To be working with such a stellar design team is so thrilling and I’m excited for the great times ahead!

Kendra Wietstock
I live in Northern Indiana with my husband, Tim and our two children, Megan and Matt. When I’m not running the kids from activity to activity, you’ll find me at home working as a full time freelance paper crafts designer. I love scrapbooking, stamping and pretty much anything crafty. I started scrapbooking when my daughter was just a baby and vowed I would NOT start stamping. Well that obviously didn’t happen! I love teaching classes at my local scrapbook store and I love sharing my creations on my blog each day.

Taylor Usry
Hello! My name is Taylor Usry, and I live with my husband and two kids in southern Virginia. I’ve been an avid crafter my whole life, but I’ve only been obsessed with paper crafting for the last 7 years or so. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t have a crayon, marker, glue stick, ribbon, or something crafty in my hands! I could wander amongst the craft aisles all day every day, and be quite happy. I’m often asked if I have a particular style – I’d say it’s eclectic. There really isn’t much I don’t like, or anything I won’t try. I love every aspect of the creative world.
I’m honored to currently be part of several talented design teams, and thank you so much for coming on this fantastic adventure with me!

Kelli Palmer
I’m a Texan living in California with my husband of 6 years and two girls, age 4 and 1, plus two snakes. I first started scrapping in high school, then I did my wedding and then my first daughter’s baby book. After that there was no stopping! I started doing some serious collecting of all things paper goods. I started doing cards in 2007 and have found how wonderful cards are with two young girls at home. I love the smaller canvas to work on and the less time intensity of it, but will always continue scrapbooking. I starred on my first design team back in 2009 and after my six month stint, decided to wait to apply to another until my baby was older. So excited to be with Gourmet Rubber Stamps and some wonderful designers!

Stephanie Lee
Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie Lee and I am thrilled and honored to join the Gourmet Rubber Stamp design team. I blog from The Arty Carty Blog and I also sell my cards through my own greeting card company, Arty Carty Handmade Cards. On a personal note, I am blessed to be married for almost 15 years to a man who is wonderfully tolerant of me and my paper and ink passion and the shopping that comes with this addiction. We have two great kids – Shawn who is 6 and Emma who is 2. I discovered scrapbooking 6 years ago when my son was born. He inspired me to start creating. I only started cardmaking in 2010 after Emma was born and discovered I live in 10 minutes segments of time. Since I don’t have oodles of experience like many crafters, I love experimenting with different materials to see what new and special things I can come up with as you will see from the cards I make for Gourmet Rubber Stamps.
