Hi everyone,
My name is Sharon Armstrong; I live with my partner and dog in the North East near the historical city of Durham.

I design digi/rubber stamps which I sell through my online store, Willow Designs. I also work as a freelance designer and have been published in Cardmaking & Papercraft, Craft Stamper, Crafts Beautiful, Making Cards, Papercraft Essentials and Papercraft Inspirations magazines.

I love working freelance as I get the chance to play with and design some fantastic products, share my projects and hopefully inspire readers to get crafty!

My style is very varied and I love nothing better than a good challenge to get me creating.
I love working with Fiskars products and was thrilled to be asked to join the team as a guest designer.
My aim is simple – to share and inspire.
Hope you enjoy my up and coming projects.

    Love your owl!

    Please can you explain what digi stamps are? Are they black outlines that you print on your computer and then colour in by hand?

    Hi Debbie,

    Digi stamps are used sometimes instead of a “real stamps”. You download them from a site, store them on your computer and use them when you want.
    Some digi stamps come as an outline for you to colour in, some come already coloured (for a quick card option).
    You colour them as you would a normal stamped image..(you may need to heat set ink if you are using water based products to colour)

    Hope that helps.x
    Sharon
