Crafty ladies (and gentelmen ; ) !!!) I am soooo excited that it is now possible to expand our Stampin‘ Up family to Austria and the Netherlands!!!
I lived in Vienna when I first came to Europe to sing as a young opera singer in the Belvedere Singing Competition, and Competition in Graz and through this received prizes at the competitions so that I could sing Madame Butterfly in Stuttgart in the late 1980’s. This began my whole european singing career. So as you can imagine I have a very warm feeling for Austria! ; ) !
Now I live quite close to the Dutch -German border and I know how many incredibly talented Dutch card crafters there are out there. I will be sooo excited to have some of you in my team. I have learned so many things from my Dutch colleagues in my last 20 years of crafting. Intricate 3-D Cards, Pergament Paper techniques, and Tea Bag Folding might be very fun to bring back into my repetoire! I am sure that you can show me a thing or two!!!
Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you about Stampin‘ Up. or about becoming a demonstrator. I can already share with you how pleased I am that I have joined the Stampin‘ Up family of demonstrators. Feel free to write me an email, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. How exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don’t hesitate, even if you are just curious! I am always happy to talk about my crafty addictions!
Looking forward to hearing from all of you out there!

Hallo Cynthia…es tut mir leid dass ich nur wenig deutsch schreiben kann…I wanted to say a HUIGE thank you for the best presentation ever that you gave at the conference in Mainz…I was blown away by your ingenious use of materials and the amazing skill and creativity….what an inspiration!!! The humour and fun of your presentation is one that I will treasure forever…and I was just sad that we did not get to hear you sing 😉 Dianne
Hello Dianne!
Although I have lived in Germany for over 20 years, I still have problems with the german articles and cases! Very complicated! Thanks so much for taking the time to write. I really appreciate it! It’s great that I could inspire a few to use their brayers and just have some fun. I really enjoy experimenting with my craft materials to find new ways to use my old favorites! I am really looking forward to Manchester! Hope to see you there!
Best wishes,
Cynthia
