    We are thrilled to introduce our latest guest designer, Kimberly Van Diepen! Kimberly, also known as @stampinbythesea on Instagram.

    Meet the Maker

    I’ve been a paper crafter since my high school days, scrapbooking all the fun things. In 2003, after my daughter was born, I started creating handmade cards for enjoyment and then began teaching others the joy of papercrafting. In 2018, I decided to pause papercrafting to pursue my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. After launching a new career, I didn’t think I’d find my way back to papercrafting. Boy was I wrong! Getting back into my crafting studio is the therapy I missed for myself and I find true relaxation and enjoyment after a long day at work. The best part of the paper crafting industry is the community connections, something I truly missed and so glad I’ve surrounded myself with again.

    Besides paper crafting, I’ve been married to my amazing husband for almost 28 years, enjoying beach life in Pensacola, Florida. We have two kids who have recently flown our coop and enjoying college life. We are happy pet owners to four amazing kitties (Mr. Finn, Leia, Rey, and Sabine) and the best doggie Tanner.
