Meet the LDRS Creative Design Team

We are THRILLED to have expanded our design team! There are now 21 amazing designers here to inspire you with LDRS Creative products. Let's meet them!  


First up is Stephanie - our fearless design team leader!
I’m Stephanie, a sweet French Canadian crafter that loves to stamp and do crafty things! My favorite coloring medium is Copic markers, because of the depth that you can achieve in two shakes! I have been coloring for 7 years now, but always have been dabbling into painting, photography, drawing, and writing. I’m very easy peasy and LOVE trying new things. In fact, I was doing mixed media when learning acrylics painting before even knowing it was going to be called, years later, mixed media!

Hi, I am Ilina Crouse. I live in Atlanta, GA with my wonderful husband of 13 years and our 3 little monkeys:  Anna-6, Milena-5 and Jason-3.  As you can see I have my hands full. During the day I work as Electrical Engineer/Bid Manager for Siemens.  I know doesn’t sound fun at all, but it is (at least for me), as it involves creativity, but different kind of one.  Early in the morning (or lunch break or after work – depending on the weather ;)) I am a runner( I love long distance runs and it’s a way to burn off some stress everyday life brings) and at night I am crafter.
I have been making cards since I was a little child and still lived in Macedonia (South Eastern Europe) where supplies were limited so I had to get really creative.  I love simple and clean designs and I love to experiment with different techniques and coloring mediums.  I am honored (and excited beyond words) to join the LDRS Creative Design Team and I hope to inspire you with my creations.

Hi! I’m Lynnea - wife, mom, crafter! I’ve been making cards since I was 13 years old! I live in Scranton, PA with my husband and son. My style has changed quite a bit in the last 17 years or so - but I’ve finally settled into “me”! I love to create clean and simple cards with a flair! Watercolor is my favorite crafty item! And you better believe I’ll add sparkle to my cards one way or another! I have a 6 year old son who loves to craft with me. Most of the time when I stamp I stamp doubles so he can color, too! I hope you love what I make and get some inspiration!

I'm Mindy and I live in Gilbert, Arizona, with my husband and our 3 amazing kiddos. I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor's degree in Fine Art Painting while working as a retail manager to pay my way through art school. While going to school I fell in love with Bollywood movies, Bollywood dancing, and tribal Bellydance. I started taking classes and eventually became a member of a Bollywood dance competition team. I was so honored to have the opportunity to perform across the country with my dance troupe Boom Boom Bollywood. This love for other cultures and dance had a huge impact on me, and shows up many times in my art. After having my kiddos I became a stay at home Mom. In between taking care of my kids, I started crafting, cardmaking, and scrapbooking as a creative outlet, and also to record all those precious memories. I have always been creative, and love expressing myself through vibrant color choices. I love to use Copic Markers, Distress Inks, and Watercolors in my artwork. I also love teaching others, and helping them become more confident in their own artistic expressions. I am so honored to be a part of such an amazing and talented team. Making art brings me so much joy, and truly inspires my creativity!

Hi!  I’m Annie, a wife, mom, and scientist who loves holidays, pretty paper, and gifts for no reason.  I’ve never met a coloring medium I didn’t love, but I’ve been coloring with Copic markers for about 8 years and would say they’re probably a favorite of mine.  Primarily a cardmaker, I dabble in mixed media and home décor from time to time as well.

Hellooooo! I'm Silvia and I'm from Italy. I discovered cardmaking some years ago accidentally and now I can't have enough of it. I love making colorful cards full of sweet and adorable critters, creating happy scene, playing with layers and use inks and stencils to create my own patterned paper.

Hello, I’m Tracy!  I’m a wife, mother to two daughters, and cat mom to three furry babies, and a long time paper crafter, living in Northern Virginia.  A friend introduced me to stamping way back in 1998, and I couldn’t be more grateful to her for introducing to a hobby that I still love today!  I’ve pretty much stuck with card making through the years, however, I did try my hand at scrapbooking when my girls were younger, but always came back to card making.  Maybe it’s because the “canvas” is smaller on a card!

My hobby grew from working at the kitchen table to carving out a dedicated craft space in my bedroom. My go to colouring medium is my alcohol markers, but I also enjoy water colouring and pencil crayons. By far my biggest thrill in card making is the magic of masking and what it can achieve. Beyond thrilled to work with LDRS creative team. Happy crafting everyone!

Hi there! I’m Erica, and I’m a self-confessed craft-a-holic. I’ve always been creative in one way or another, for as long as I can remember. Sewing, wood working, metal working, painting, stitching and embroidery etc etc. The list goes on. My biggest love, however, is card making, and it has been for years now. I started with a Christmas card kit some 13+ years ago and it was a slippery slope from there on. I love colouring and seeing projects come to life in front of me, it speaks to my soul on a deep level. If I didn’t have a crafty outlet, I’m 100% sure I’d go nuts. Or nuttieras some people would say...
