Meet the Dream Team



Lora (Owner - Canada)


I live in Bolton, Ontario with my amazing husband Bob & our darling daughter.  Our son lives in the Yukon & I love to go out to visit him, what a beautiful place.  I purchased High Hopes back in November 2014 because my first love has always been rubber stamping.  We hope our images inspire you to create beautiful crafty projects for loved ones or just yourself.

Carolina (US)


I live in Southern California with my husband and  two beautiful daughters. I have been married to my High School sweet heart for 17 years. I have always been painting or crafting. But my love for paper crafting started after I graduated from High School. My desire was to put together a scrapbook with all my memories of high school and I did it! Not my best creation but just perfect for me! My style keeps evolving from scrabooking to  card making. I LOVE using glitter and lace ribbons on my projects. And not to forget that pink is my favorite color. You can see 98% of my projects are using pink. How did I get started with High Hopes Stamps... by participating in their challenges. I bought my first stamp six years ago and used that same stamp in every challenge. 
I am so blessed that HHS saw something in my creations and gave me the change to be on their Diva Team. Visit Carolina's Blog Made with Love Cards or more inspiration.

Cheri (Canada)

I live in Ontario Canada and have been making cards for about 8 years now. It's always fun to look back over the years to see how you have progressed. I have been married for 16 years and have a blended family of four children and 2 fur babies. I have an obsession with 6x6 paper pads and can't stop myself from buying all the new releases LOL! My favourite colouring mediums to use are Copic Sketch Markers but I am also trying my hand using Prismacolor Pencils. I absolutely love to travel and now that the kids are all out on their own, Hubby and I are starting to explore more of this wonderful world that we live in! If you bring me a Tim Horton's Double Double I'll be your friend for life LOL!

Hello! Thank you for stopping by to read a "little about me".  I live in a rural community outside of Kitchener Waterloo Ontario.  I am married and step mom to two grown children and mom to my fur baby.  I love coffee, chocolate and animals.  My bills are paid by my job as a Sales Manager for a community newspaper, but my head is usually thinking of the next card layout or colour scheme...shh don't tell my boss! I have always done some kind of crafting including sketching, embroidery and tole painting.  I started scrapbook over 12 years ago but it is only in the last 2 years or so that I started making cards.  I love being able to personalize a card to include the recipients personality, hobby or something they absolutely love.  I am starting to get a nice "collection" of patterned paper and I am addicted to Gumdrops (enamel and glitter dots).  I like to try new techniques every so often just to shake things up in the creative side of my brain and because it is fun!.

 I have been married for 45 plus years, have 2 adult children and am the proud Grandma/Grammy of 7 amazing and fabulous grandchildren and an adorable great granddaughter.  I currently work at a busy Academic Library in the GTA. I have done various crafts throughout my life including crochet, counted cross stitching, and others. In 2004, I was introduced to scrapbooking and shortly after that I started card marking. I have been on Lora's OCS Design Team since its' beginning in December of 2010, and have enjoyed and continue to enjoy every minute of it. I especially love trying new techniques and products. I'm looking forward to the time when I retire so that I can expand my playtime and have even more crafting time and try even more new things including quilting. Visit Sue's blog Craft Creations for more inspiration.

Roberta (Canada)


I love crafting and have been doing various crafts for over 30 years. I am always looking forward to learning new crafts and new techniques. Recently, I learned how to do quilting by hand. When people ask me what I can do, I tell them it's easier to ask me what I haven't learned yet. I do all forms of needlepoint, can sew, make my own jewellery, have painted in both acrylics and watercolours, spun my own wool, etc. My main love over the past 10 years though is making cards. I love making them personalized for friends and family. My happiest times are when I'm in my craft room creating or going on Scrapbooking weekends, retreats and of course shopping for new crafts. You can never have enough craft supplies and stamps. LOL! I also love all animals and enjoy reading, wildlife photography and cruising.
