Hello everyone,
Have you ever heard of the The Paper Crafter's Library website? They are a hub of inspiration featuring Art Journaling Tutorials every Monday and a different Company and Artist Spotlight weekly. You can really get lost for hours looking through all of their posts past to present.
Andrea Walford, the founder of Paper Crafter's Library has been a wonderful support of Designs by Ryn over the last two years. I got in touch with her when my company was in its infancy and she was kind enough to give me a chance and took me under her wing. At the time, I was barely staying afloat by showing my stamps at craft shows and festivals. They were a lot of work to do and although I connected with some neat people, most weren't interested in the type of designs that I offer. Thank goodness people like Andrea helped to promote my stamps on the Internet. Exposure through her Company Spotlights allowed my stamps to go beyond geographical boundaries to find people who appreciated them. My business is over three years old now and is continuing to blossom.
Today I'm once again a lucky girl. They've posted a wonderful company spotlight on Designs by Ryn :) This blog post includes a little bio on how I got started, a Give Away and also features a few cards by Miranda using stamps from my latest release. To take a look at their post and to enter the draw click HERE.
To celebrate, I'm also doing a Give Away on my blog. To enter the Draw all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I will randomly draw a winner next Wednesday and announce here. Be sure to leave me a way to get in touch with you or don't forget to check back to see if you won :) Below are the three stamp sets I will be sending to the winner.
Miranda first designed for me as a Guest Designer in the fall of 2012. She quickly became a part of the permanent Design Team and has been a treasured member both for her beautiful art and wonderful warm heart. If you aren't familiar with Miranda's art I highly suggest popping by her blog HERE. Her cards are always inspiring. Below are some recent favorites from Miranda.
In this card Miranda used Day Lily, African Daisy, Leafy Branch and Lucine from my collection.
In this card Miranda used Pansies from my collection.
In this card Miranda used Pansies, Water Droplets, Trickling Water and Trickling Water Set.
In this card Miranda used Water Droplets and Maple Leaf from my collection.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you will keep in touch by visiting me here again, my Website, or on my Facebook Page. I post a new project on there every day either by my Design Team (who are ALL awesome!) or myself. I also have links to my Design Team's blogs on the right hand side if you would like to take a look at their art.
Bye for now :)
Ryn

ReplyDeleteWhat I love about your stamps is how unique they are from all the other stamps you see. Truly original. Take the Abstract Leaf Set for instance. Sure there are lots of leaf stamps around, but the depth and texture you've created in that stamp set is amazing. Best wishes for your continued success.

I like your artwork. Great talent, congratulations. I started this year creating digital landscapes for a new comic that is about esteem and kindness. It is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteRyn, Paper Crafter's Library sent me. I am new to your site, so I am going to browse around a bit. Wow, I just love your images. How beautiful. I really love the water drop. Hope to find Miranda's blog, too. Thanks for the chance to win some gorgeous stamps. Congrats on your success.
ReplyDeleteI first heard of Designs by Ryn on the Paper Crafters Library and I am so happy to see you spot lighted again. Wow! Do the free stamps come with a class held by Ryn or Miranda? I could never stamp, nor color, as beautifully as Miranda. She is a wonderful artist and gives off such cheerful vibes!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wish I had the patience to work with your stamps like Miranda does. Suddenly I feel very bad I push them in paints and molding paste. But when you make such deep edged stamps........that are the consequenes :) :) :) Love your stamps as you know!
ReplyDeleteKeep on designing. Beautiful art. Would love to win, but I already have by viewing your talent.
