My Stampin' Up! story began in November 2006, seeing a display of wonderful projects at a craft show. I was completely captivated by the stamps, and colour co-ordinated everything!

I joined Stampin' Up! in April 2007 (I really wonder why I waited so long), to get the many things on my wishlist at a great discount. Before long, I realised how much much I loved getting together with friends, and sharing what I'd learned about stamping and cardmaking.

Many, many years on, stamping and cardmaking using Stampin' Up! is still my favourite creative thing to do. I enjoy sharing ideas and projects, and offer regular in person classes from my home in Illawong, in the Sutherland Shire of Sydney. I'm thankful too for the connected world we live in, where we can share with others all over the world online.

You'll find lots of card ideas and inspiration with shopping supply lists here on my SU website under 'My Projects'. More detailed project info & tutorials are found on my blog: www.dianebarnes.blogspot.com. Follow me on my facebook page and Instagram. My monthly newsletters include lots of info for my customers too. E-mail me for more info on newsletters, classes and anything Stampin' Up!

My Stampin' Up! experience has been so much more than just stamps and ink — I think we share a part of ourselves through our paper projects. Helping people find their own creativity through Stampin' Up! has enabled me to meet so many wonderful people, many of whom I'm happy to call great friends now. Some are part of my Stampin' Up! team (the Diamond Stampers) too. I really look forward to seeing how this story continues to grow in the years ahead.

Thanks so much for visiting my website. I hope you've found a little of what I love about Stampin' Up! and what you could find too.

I'm here to help you so contact me if you'd like any help or more information about cardmaking, classes, my projects, and anything Stampin' Up!

Happy stamping & inky wishes
