The Klompen Stampers team is a community of creative, talented, and kind-hearted paper crafters all with a passion for card making. We have an amazing online community where we share ideas, help each other answer questions, and support one another. With so many different creative styles, unique ideas, and technique skills – there is always something new to learn from a member of the team. I love the supportive community of the Klompen Stampers and the new ideas we keep learning from each other.
I want to spotlight one of our talented team members, Kathi Ondus, and show off her beautiful and elegant greeting cards of love designed with the Lifetime of Love Bundle. Kathi doesn’t have a set “style” of card making, because she loves it all! Fun folds, embossing, layers, and coloring – her goal is to make beautiful cards that others would want to re-create. Whether her cards and quick and easy or “stepped up” a little, she wants to make sure everyone knows that they can also make it.
Get to Know Kathi Ondus
A few fun facts about Kathi:
- She’s been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for 3 years, but has been stamping for 35 years. She started stamping because she and her daughters wanted to make their own Christmas cards.
- She is a lover of nature and animals. She once had a squirrel come chatter to her outside the window until she would feed him, she named him Tuffy.
- Her three favorite SU! colors are Pebbled Path, Sweet Sorbet, and Misty Moonlight.
Why Kathi chose to join the Klompen Stampers Team:
Kathi joined the Klompen Stampers because she watched videos of Jackie Bolhuis on YouTube. She had been making cards for years and had used SU! products before, but never thought of joining. One of Jackie’s projects made her want to put in an order, and about one month later she decided she wanted to join the team!
