Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator/Owner of StampingTrails Hello, I’m Lisa Maynard, founder, and owner of Stamping Trails. I’m so glad you stopped by.

I’d like to share a little bit about myself. My husband of 27 years, Joe, and I live in Billings, Montana. Our two grown daughters are attending college and professional school which officially makes us empty nesters. Well, almost empty nesters as we’ve gladly taken on the role of grandparents to our grand-dog Thatcher, a Mini Australian Shepherd. We also own a cabin on the banks of the Stillwater

River near Nye, Montana. As a native Montanan, this is the perfect spot to continue enjoying all the outdoor activities I relished as a kid – hiking, fishing, and whitewater rafting. At the end of the day, we typically lounge on the deck under the canopy of a star-lit sky and embrace the murmur of the river. Although I take great pleasure in being outdoors, crafting is where my heart is. Over the course of 30+ years, I’ve ventured down a variety of crafting trails including cross-stitching, fabric stenciling, small stints at knitting, and sewing – it might be safe to say that I’m not a newbie by any means. For the past 25 years, my chosen path has been decorative painting. About two years ago I came upon another byway – paper crafting - through a good friend in my decorative painting group. After I saw the adorable cards she had created, a desire was stirred in me to give paper crafting a go as I have such fond memories of making and playing with paper dolls as a child. I came across Stampin’ Up! and my upline on Pinterest if you can believe it! I soon fell in love with card making and all the products involved with it; the assorted paper, the chromatic ink, the gadgets, the bling. But most importantly, I envisioned the sentiments that are yet to be written inside and that fills me up with such joy. Taking ordinary products like stamps, ink, and paper and creating an extraordinary piece of art is incredibly fulfilling. I love creating and sharing that joy and this journey I’m on with others, one card at a time. If you are interested in learning more about cardmaking, papercrafts, and Stampin’ Up! drop me a note. I would be more than happy to be your Demonstrator; to help you explore and discover new adventures in paper crafting.

A Special Card for a Special Request.
When my sister needed a sympathy card for her friend, I knew I wanted to create something heartfelt and serene. This card was inspired by a design I came across and recreated with my own touches.

I used the Spotlight on Nature Bundle for the beautifully detailed die-cut circles, butterfly, and flowers. The sentiment comes from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, which has such elegant fonts. For the background, I chose the dreamy cloud design from the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (DSP) to add a soft, peaceful feel. It’s always meaningful to craft something so personal for someone in need. Let me know in the comments what you think of this design.

If you’d like to learn how to create cards like this, message me! I’d love to help you get started.

12/01/2024

I CASE’d this beautiful card and absolutely love how it turned out! The rich red and green paired with gold accents from the Season of Elegance Suite create the perfect festive touch. That stamped tree and the “Peace & Joy” sentiment bring it all together for a handmade holiday card that shines. 🌟

Remember the birthday card I shared at the end of October from the amazing Creativate online retreat? Well, here’s another spin on that design—this time as a wedding card! While this might not be your typical wedding card, I’m absolutely loving the soft, elegant vibe of the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. It's one of my all-time favorites! I used the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set for the classic "Mr. & Mrs." sentiment, which pairs perfectly with the layered florals. And let’s not forget the ribbon detail—it adds just the right touch of texture! What do you think? Do these florals make your heart sing as much as mine?
