Design Team Coordinator
Liliya
My parents always called me Liliuska, and I decided to make it my crafty nickname. I am a homeschooling mom and even though it takes almost all my time, I cannot imagine my life without crafts. I think of myself as a cardmaker most of the time, although I do enjoy other types of crafts. My favorite craft tools are stamps and dies, my favorite medium – watercolours and pencils, my favorite style – CAS.
Designers
Tracy
aka inkyfingers and ribbon and I live with my very understanding husband who fully supports (and a lot of the time enables) this craft addiction I have. I have been crafting on and off for over 15 years. I love all things inky and I’m in my element colouring or playing with stamps and ink pads. My style is cas with lots of sequins! When I’m not crafting I am a huge film and book nerd. I have been a fan of Studio Katia for a while so I am super excited to be part of the design team and work with these amazing products.
Kristina
I’m a passionate card maker since 2015. I live in Saint Petersburg where I was born. I love animals, especially dogs. I have two Yorkshire terriers. I love CAS style, soft pastel colours and floral cards.
Amanda
I live with my husband, son and rescue dog Scout in Upstate South Carolina. Some of my favorite days are spent in my studio with a cup of tea, listening to music and playing around with paper and ink. I enjoy working with new products and learning techniques to expand my creativity. I gravitate toward bold colors and patterns and have fun designing scenes on my projects. I am so excited to be working with Studio Katia and their very talented Design Team!
Olga
I am a mother of two boys and a cat, we live in Russia. They are my World and my inspiration. I’m crazy about clean and simple and American style since 2013 and now I can’t imagine my life without them. To me CAS is versatile! And I love to explore it from different sides!
Svetlana
I’m a mom to wonderful boy and girl. In my spare time I bury myself with creation.I love creating cards not only in the CAS style but also scenery and interactive. I can’t pass by any stamp or a craft die.
Svitlana
I’m also known as Izolda. Born in Ukraine and been living there almost all my life until came to USA in 2010 to become a happy wife of the best man on the planet. In 2009, shortly before moving to US, I found scrapbooking and cardmaking and constantly fell in love. In scrapbooking and cardmaking I tried different styles, but finally settled with what is most appealing to me – CAS (clean and simple).
Erum Tasneem
from Karachi, Pakistan. I have been into arts & crafts since I can remember. I started blogging in 2008 and discovered a whole new world and made many friends. The name of my blog is VIBGYOR Krafts because who doesnt like ranbows eh?! I love to colour, pencils being my favourite medium. In 2010 I started my own small business by the name of Glitter & Swirls where I sell my projects and take on commission work. I can tackle both CAS and mixed media projects quite well. My new found love is making scrapbook layouts, never thought it would be SO much fun!
Galina
In the past I was a mixed-media artist, but now I adore cardmaking and clean&simple style. My favorite mediums are Copic and Distress Markers. I love travelling, read fantasy books and collect stationery 🙂 I have a beautiful scottish fold cat – Sir Oliver, who makes my crafting life more fun especially when he’s posing while take pictures of my cards 🙂
Kaja
I’m from small european country called Slovenia. I go by name ‘Kajcyika crafts’ in the crafty world. I have been into crafting since I was little, but never had the time to do what I love until about two years ago when I started my university studies. Since then I’ve been making cards for my family and friends and I loving every second of it. I would define my style as clean and simple or clean and graphic. Oh, and I simply love coloring! I can spend hours coloring images in my craft room. I have recently started making cardmaking tutorials on youtube and plan to make as many as I can while on Studio Katia Design Team.
Laura
I come from Italy and am a very passionate card maker. I currently live in Germany with my husband, who always supports and encourages me, and is the reason I started exploring my crafty side in the first place. I love crafts in general, but paper crafts really stole my heart! I like bright and cheerful cards, and I am always trying to experiment with new media and techniques. My current favorites are Distress Inks and alcohol markers. If I am not making cards I spend time either cooking, baking or watching TV shows – but mostly, I am making cards.
Natalia
a.k.a. Znatka2007. I am married and have a little son. I am passionate cardmaker since March, 2016. I like interactive cards and shakers most of all (my interactive cards are crazy sometimes). Also, I like to make simple cards in CAS style. And, of course, I am addicted to photography and colouring.
Rowena
I’ve been a card maker for roughly 2 years now. I love all sorts of different styles, when it comes to card making. I let the stamps and dies inspire me when creating a card or a project. My go to coloring mediums are copics and watercolor. I also enjoy creating a blended backgrounds for my cards. Besides crafting , I enjoy travelling with my husband and son. As well as, taking my dog for a walk.
Past Designers
Anna
I’m very passionate about scrapbooking and cardmaking, it is really my great passion! This is my hobby since August 2011, when I made my first card. And since then, I still can not stop constantly making new discoveries in this wonderful world of creativity and improving my skills.
Laurie
I live in a very small town in Manitoba, Canada. I’m married to a man who thankfully has the ability to cope with my card-making addiction! I started stamping 3 and a half years ago when I decided to make my own wedding invitations and haven’t looked back! I occasionally dabble in “techniques” but my true passion is stamping. Oh, and die cutting!
Erica
I’ve been into arts and crafts my whole life. Photography, paper crafts, drift wood art, painting, I have dabbled in lots of it but card making and photography are my two main loves. My favorite coloring medium is currently water colors but this changes as I go through phases and try new things and different styles.
Valentyna
I am a happy mom of two smart kids, who keep me active and busy. I am a piano teacher. I like teaching and enjoy it for 20 years. As we moved to Canada I fell in love with paper crafting. Stamps, inks, die cuts, embellishments are wonderful to use, but paper is more exited thing and it is my favorite. I love sewing and cross stitch too and have many small and big projects done last few years.
