Welcome New Design Team!
The day is finally here- I get to announce the new 10 Minute Craft Dash design team! I received so many incredible applications from around the world, the decision was such a difficult one. After making my final picks, I also ensured that there was a range of crafting styles within the team. We each are inspired by different things and I tried my best to make sure there was something for everyone {based on the applications submitted}.
There are six brand new designers joining the team and I have one returning designer. Words cannot express how excited I am to work with these talented ladies from across the globe. Last term, I put together a calendar showcasing the designers locations and I thought I would do it again. Isn’t it neat to see that there are fellow Craft Dashers all over the globe?!
Are you ready to meet and get to know the design team? Below are a few questions to get to know them a bit and if you click their pictures, you’ll be taken to their blogs. Remember, you’re always welcome to follow them and share some blog love!
Describe your craft style in three words: Fun, fresh & cute
Most used craft embellishment: For almost every single card I use stamps, then die cut shapes and ribbon/ twine
Name something that never leaves your craft desk: scissors, rulers, and double sided tape
Why do you enjoy the 10 Minute Craft Dash: I enjoy it because it gives me the impulse to be better, faster and organized. Having the challenge to make a project in 10 minutes teaches you to make right choices faster, all these things will make you a better crafter every single day.
Describe your craft style in three words: Colorful, clean & simple
Most used craft embellishment: twine, ribbon and bling

Describe your craft style in three words: CAS (technically 3 words, but who’s count?!), chaotic and eclectic
Most used craft embellishment: At the moment it’s probably ribbon but it changes with the weather
Name something that never leaves your craft desk: My Fiskars Stamp Press- LOVE it
Why do you enjoy the 10 Minute Craft Dash: I get a bit of a kick out of the sense of urgency- it really makes you focus and cuts out so much of the procrastination.
Describe your craft style in three words: Pretty with stitching
Most used craft embellishment: It would be a toss up between my stamps and patterned paper
Name something that never leaves your craft desk: My ruler (everything has to be straight!)
Why do you enjoy the 10 Minute Craft Dash: I can waste a lot of time at my craft table, pulling out different options, debating on what to use. I like that the 10 Minute Craft Dash has me choose my supplies and challenges me to stick with my plan and get something accomplished quickly.
Describe your craft style in three words: Diverse (I hope!), Stampy, Layered
Most used craft embellishment: Buttons and stick pins. I go through these faster than anything else. Oh, and lace.
Name something that never leaves your craft desk: Everything… seriously, it’s like a bomb went off. I could not create without my blocks – I almost never create a project that doesn’t include any stamping
Why do you enjoy the 10 Minute Craft Dash: I love to push myself and see just how much I can get done in 10 minutes. From when I first started playing along in these challenges to now, I think I’ve really developed a system and a confidence that allows me to get a lot done in a little bit of time. Not to mention that Paulina always comes up with the most incredible colour combinations – which also force me to stretch outside my comfort zone

Most used craft embellishment: Twine, followed closely by blingy embellishments : sequins, enamel dots, rhinestones
Name something that never leaves your craft desk: My trusty paper trimmer
Why do you enjoy the 10 Minute Craft Dash: Time is limited for me with a very busy 16 month old running around- it can get really frustrating to want to create, but feel like you never have the time. The 10 Minute Craft Dash pushes me to get in my craft room, take 10 minutes to make something, and get on with my day. I can feel accomplished instead of bummed I couldn’t carve out an hour to craft!
Describe your craft style in three words: Colorful, spunky, and simplified
Most used craft embellishment: Washi tape
Name something that never leaves your craft desk: my glue gun
Why do you enjoy the 10 Minute Craft Dash: I enjoy the 10 Minute Craft Dash because life is hectic and something all I have is 10 minutes to use my creativity and produce a stellar project!
Thank you for visiting and celebrating this new team with me. See you bright and early tomorrow!
