Welcome Drunken Stamper’s fans to another installment on Getting to know your Designated Drunken Stampers Designer!

We’re chatting with Stephanie Gaines from LuvScraps today!

What is your drink of choice when stamping?

I usually drink coffee, diet pepsi, or some type of bottle juice while stamping.

What or who inspires you creatively?

my inspirations come from my day to day life….I draw inspiration from my surroundings and of course from other talented crafters out there! I like taking the challenges and putting my own spin to them.

How would you describe your style?

my style is more on the girly side with a touch of vintage. I tend to lean more toward softer colors, but I’m trying to expand my color palette and use bold colors.

What are your top 5 stamping must haves that you could not live without?

distress inks, glue gun, foam tape, my die cut machine & dies, mulberry flowers

And what is your fave project?

my favorite project is a layout I did of my trip to Disneyland with my scrappy friend. This layout really shows my crafting style….I need more practice on expanding my color palette.

Thanks Stephanie for vising with us this week be sure to drop by her blog, LuvScraps to find out more about her, the other project’s she’s doing and follow her on Pinterest!

Welcome Drunken Stamper’s fans to another installment on Getting to know your Designated Drunken Stampers Designer!

I just happened to catch up with Suzanne Bier from the Sparkling Scrapper, crafting late one night on Skype!

What is your drink of choice when stamping?

My drink of choice when stamping is a diet Coke or Dr. Pepper…but I also drink various flavors of Crystal Light (LOVE the mojito flavor)!

What or who inspires you creatively?

I’m inspired by many different things…I often use sketches and look at stationery and home decor magazines to get ideas. I also like to figure out new ways to use my stamp images!

How would you describe your style?

I’d say my style is “fun and cute” with some “clean and simple” mixed in!

What are your top 5 stamping must haves that you could not live without?

My Copic markers, Tsukineko Brilliance Graphite Black ink, 6×6 paper pads, great sentiment stamps, and quality cardstock!

And what is your fave project?

It was hard to narrow down my favorite, but I’d have to go with this card. The image stamp is normally a Halloween-themed one, but I love the image and she’s so fun to color that I used her on this Valentine’s Day card!

Thanks Suzanne for vising with us this week be sure to drop by her blog, The Sparkling Scrapper to find out more about her, the other project’s she’s doing and follow her on Pinterest!

With spring in full force and greenery everywhere this was the inspiration for challenge #88. This week’s challenge is GREEN, whether you use greenery, frogs, alligators or anything else that’s naturally green, go for it! OR make a green monochromatic card! Either way it works for this challenge! Come play with us!

Here’s what the gals have come up with this week!! Are they green enough?? Be sure to visit their blogs for card deets.

Welcome to our Get to know your Designated Drunken Stampers Designer segment for this week.  She comes to us from Learning the [paper] craft. We caught up with Elizabeth in the Drunken Stampers lounge with drinks in hand and had a wonderful chat.

What is your drink of choice when stamping?

Tea, Earl Gray, hot. (I’m a Star Trek fan… can you tell?)

What or who inspires you creatively?

I find inspiration all around me, but these days I head straight to Pinterest when I’m in a bit of a creative slump. I love looking at the variety of photos showing everything from an urban landscape to a pretty fabric pattern. It doesn’t take long before I’m inspired to craft after looking through my Pinterest page.

How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as elegant, romantic, and girly. I gravitate toward pastels a lot of the time, and I love using flowers, butterflies and lots of bling on my projects.

What are your top 5 stamping must haves that you could not live without?

In no particular order:

- A good pair of scissors
- Foam adhesive
- Stickles in a variety of colors
- Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
- Good quality cardstock

And what is your fave project?

To date, my favorite project is the card I made for my husband for Valentine’s Day this year. I admit, it’s pretty feminine – I guess it’s more a card for me than for him! – but I just adore the scrap of lace, the flower, and those hearts that look like sugar cookies.

Thanks for joining us today and getting to know a little bit more about Elizabeth. Please be sure to check out more of her work over at other home on the web Learning the [paper] craft where you’ll also find the link to follow her on Pinterest!

Don’t forget! There is still time to play in Challenge #87 ~ I can see clearly now! Scroll down for the post or click Challenge #87

Thanks for spending time with us this week!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our last challenge, “You’re a krafty one!”. We are inspired by your creativity!

Challenge #87 is to use acetate! Acetate cards are always stunning but sometimes one needs an excuse to make one!
Grab some acetate! Don’t have any? Check out any packaging that your craft or non-craft goodies come in! (Especially that clear clamshell packaging that’s used for everything!)
Then decide if you want to use it for an entire card base, a window, a charm or whatever your imagination decides and come play with us! :)

The DT definitely saw clearly for this challenge, there’s no lack of inspiration here!
Be sure to visit their blogs to find out more!

Welcome to our first segment of get to know your Designated Drunken Stampers designer! We’ll be featuring a Drunken Stamper’s designer every other week, opposite challenge weeks.
To figure who goes in what order, we had a few rounds of beer pong then quickly forgot why we were doing it. Afterwards, we then just drew straws! lol
Today we’re getting to know Chaitali from Cuts, Crops and Creativity! Just as she popped into the lounge this week, I had a chance to catch up with her!

What is your drink of choice when stamping?

Coffee!! I’m a huge coffee addict and its my drink of choice for pretty much everything including making shaker cards :)

What or who inspires you creatively?

I follow a lot of blogs in the papercrafting community and its inspiring to see how much creativity everyone has! My husband and my friends are my other big source of inspiration for ideas.

How would you describe your style?

Quirky! I get bored with a single technique too easily so keep trying new techniques in my crafting. I love to make interactive and fun-folds cards the most!

What are your top 5 stamping must haves that you could not live without?

In random order:
(1) Silhouette Cameo
(2) Distress inks
(3) PTI cardstock for card base
(4) Dimensionals
(5) Tombow markers

And what is your fave project?

An interactive spinner card I made for a blog hop recently is my fave project currently. I designed the spinner track from scratch then cut it out on my Cameo. It was a lot of fun doing this project and everyone who has played with the card enjoyed it immensely.

Be sure to drop by Chaitali’s blog Cuts, Crops and Creativity to see more of her work, you’ll also find links to follow her on Pinterest and on google+ too!

Don’t forget! There is still time to play in Challenge #86 ~ You’re a krafty one! Scroll down for the post or click Challenge #86.
