My story with Stampin' Up began in November 2006, when I saw a display of wonderful projects at a craft show. I was completely hooked on the fabulous stamps & co-ordinated card, inks, accessories....& everything!

I decided to join Stampin' Up! in April 2007 (now I wonder why I waited so long), as I wanted to get the many, many things on my wishlist at a great discount. Before long, I discovered I really enjoyed showing others how easy they could stamp & create their own cards & gifts too & started running some small classes from home. 

Many many years on, stamping & cardmaking using Stampin' Up! is still my favourite creative thing to do. I enjoy sharing ideas & projects online with a wonderful group of friends & customers. I miss seeing my customers in person and I'm looking forward to restarting classes in our home in Illawong in Sydney when it's safe for everyone.
While we can't connect in person, you'll find lots of card ideas and inspiration with shopping supply lists here under 'My Projects'. More detailed project info & tutorials are found on my blog: www.dianebarnes.blogspot.com, and you can connect with me on my facebook page & Instagram, where I also share ideas, inspiration & Stampin' Up! news too.

My Stampin' Up! experience has been so much more than just stamps and ink — I think it’s about sharing a part of yourself through our paper projects, and helping people find their own creativity. I've met so many wonderful people through Stampin' Up, 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!

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

Happy stamping & inky wishes
