New Design Team Member


We're super excited to announce Verve Visual's newest Design Team member, Laurie Schmidlin! If you've been hanging around Splitcoaststampers (she's Lauraly there) or at her fabulous blog, Just Give Me Stamps, you know that Laurie is just dripping in stamping talent. With a style all her own, each and every one of her creations are beautifully embellished and perfectly executed. We just know you're going to love her as much as we do!

It was "love at first sight" when Laurie was first introduced to rubber stamping eleven years ago. Although card making is her primary focus, she also enjoys scrapbooking and altering 3-D items. Even though her style varies, you can always count on seeing some sort of embellishment (or two) on each creation! Laurie, along with her husband (of twelve years) and four children, currently live on a ranch outside of Dillon, Montana. When she's not stamping or helping her husband on the ranch, she also enjoys traveling, baking, & playing music.

Here's a sampling of Laurie's work with Fancy Florals.
