Meet the Lost Coast Designs Team




 Gail aka ionabunny
Design Team Manager
 
Hi, my name is Gail, aka ionabunny, and I live in Norway with my partner.  I moved to Norway in 2005 from the UK and have a large garden with rabbits and chickens.  I have always enjoyed creating, but making cards and playing with paper and colours are my favourite things to do.  I like to learn new techniques and describe my style as often simple, seldom clean!  I make mostly cards, ATC's and tags and love mixing my media.  I also craft with glass.  I am very excited to be a part of the Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda design team and hope that some of you will find inspiration in the things I share.  Hugz

Aimee Eliason

 Hi, I'm Aimee Eliason and I recently returned to the USA after 5 years in Belgium.  I was raised in Spokane, the home of Lost Coast Designs, but am now settled in Utah.  I have been married for 32 years and we have two daughters and two grand daughters. I began stamping in 2017 when a neighbor introduced me to the craft and I have been published in every issue of Rubber Stamp Magazine since 2017 and have made the cover five times.  In addition to stamping I also love reading, gardening, crocheting, traveling and cooking.  I am super excited to be joining the Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda team and am looking forward to sharing my art with you.

Cathy Norton

Hi, My name is Cathy Norton.  I have three kids, I am married,I work at a grocery store as a customer service manger/book keeper.  I really enjoy stamping and got into art journaling about a year ago after watching YouTube videos by Dyan Reavely.  She make it OK to be messy!  I also like to make ATCs, mixed media, collage, and altered art.  Digital art is also a fun medium for me to work with also though my first love is rubber stamping.  I'm very happy to be a design team member for Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda stamps.  I'm excited to be on the team and work with the great stamps and other design team members.

Darlene Wright

Hi everyone my name is Darlene Wright, and I'm living in Victoria BC Canada 🇨🇦
Have been into rubber stamping for close to 20 years now.  Hooked the first time I heat embossed an image, was so excited on how it looked.  The magic!  Love all sorts of different styles and media and altered art - whatever goes.  Have been on several different design teams over the years and published in numerous magazines.
I'm looking forward to designing with this amazing team at Lost Coast Designs.

Kathi Rerek

 

Hi, I’m Kathi Rerek, a cat-loving paper crafter from New Jersey who creates tags, art journals, and home décor pieces. I love stamping, mixed media, and experimenting with different supplies and techniques.


I love to paper craft because there’s something so oddly calming about focussing on a project. My favourite part is when a project comes out the way I had envisioned it in my mind’s eye. I enjoy sharing my creations online and always include full supply lists and detailed instructions on my blog posts. 


I’m very excited to be joining the Lost Coast Designs/Carmen’s Veranda design team as I love their stamps!

Hello everyone! I am Liesbeth, 54 years old, and my husband Henk and I live in Emmen, a small nice city in the north of the Netherlands. We have two wonderful, grown up children: Lotte (30) and Lars (28). I have (too) many hobbies 😉  : music, visiting pop/rock concerts, art, cooking, history, hiking, walking, reading, knitting and everything arts/crafts. My job is teaching workshops (rubber stamping and mixed media techniques) here in Holland and abroad. I am/was on various design teams, worked in a great stamp store (Art Journey), was published in magazines and wrote two books about rubber stamping techniques (In Dutch and Finnish language). I was very thrilled Linda asked me to join the Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda design team.  Lost Coast Designs has always been one of my favourite brands! Love them so much! Looking forward to work with the other members and I hope to inspire you by showing my work!
