Hello everyone! Nina here!
A big thank you to everyone who have answered our DT Call! We have 5 returning members from 2019 team and 4 new members for 2020!
Watch our introduction video below or on our YouTube Channel.
The members of our 2020 design team are:
Rebecca Keppel
Rebecca is our design team coordinator. She’s local in Phoenix Arizona and you’ve seen her with me in various videos on our channel. Rebecca’s been papercrafting since her oldest was born in 2005. What started with a scrapbooking addiction turned into a cardmaking obsession! When she’s not driving her kids to and from school and activities, she’s hanging out with her two gigantic dogs, going to the gym, playing with paper, reading fiction and watching Netflix original shows.
Below is Rebecca's favorite card using our Nesting Squares Die and Happy Retirement Combo.
JJ Bolton
JJ is also a product designer for us since this year. She’s a science nerd by day, but she’s been designing since 2003 when she started a custom ribbon business with her sister. Her love for design eventually led her to papercrafting and she’s been hooked ever since. Her style leans clean and simple with dashes of rainbow colors and LOTS of die cutting. She’s originally from Hawaii and currently live in Virginia just outside of Washington, DC. When she’s not crafting or designing, she’s enjoying time with her husband, two sons and doggie cooper.
Below is a card JJ made for our October release using her own Go Girl Winter Die that will be available on October 5th.

Keeway is a papercrafting addict from sunny California! She enjoys coloring, doodling, stamping and paper crafting during her free time and loves being a part of the card making community. She started her card making blog Kiwi Koncepts in 2015 as a way to document her crafting journey as she continues to learn and share what she makes. What started as just a place to relax and enjoy in some down time, soon became a reignited passion for arts and crafts. She also enjoys walks with her dog, watching movies and tv shows, exploring new restaurants, and trips to Disneyland!
