April 2024 Designer Spotlight - Amber Kemp-Gerstel

Q & A

with Amber Kemp-Gerstel

4. Which project has been your favorite, or what was the most meaningful to make? Recently, I shared a creative hack for encouraging reading in young children. I recorded myself reading a book out loud and then turned that voice recording into a QR sticker that my kids can scan when they want me to “read” the story to them! The project was received really well on my social media which is always exciting and encouraging! 5. How would you describe your personal crafting style? My style is definitely colorful, fun, and quirky! 6. Where do you find inspiration? I find inspiration everywhere!! I love looking to home decor and fashion to inspire my next DIY project. 7. What advice would you give cardmakers and paper crafters out there? Please give at least three. My advice would definitely depend on their goal. Not everyone wants to turn their hobby into a career. For those who want to hone their skills, my advice would be to make daily creativity a habit. I find that a daily dose of DIY can really keep your mind spinning with new ideas and techniques you want to try. For those who want to turn their craft into a money- making venture, I would encourage them to stay true to their voice and style. Don’t attempt to create for the sake of dollars. Paid opportunities will find you because of your unique perspective so don’t give that up!
