Card Maker Nina Brackett

Nina Brackett:

 

I’m just a wife and mom who discovered that her love for paper crafting could extend beyond card making and into product design 2.5 years ago when I started illustrating for a stamp company. I was born in the Philippines, educated in the US and now live in a small town in Croatia, where my husband and I are in full-time Christian ministry. I studied Biology in college and am still a science geek at heart. I’m fortunate enough to have traveled extensively to many places in the world. My experiences in these different cultures and my love for God’s creation as a Biologist have made me a keen observer of beautiful things around me. I’m drawn to the soft, feminine and vintage style, but with simplicity in mind (as a busy mom to 3 young girls, I always strive for quick but beautiful projects). I like to call my style “simple shabby.” Despite my frequent travels, I am a homebody and consider the experiences I share at home with my family and friends to be the best in the world.
Here are a few of Nina's amazing cards! 

My paper crafted projects have been published in several print publications, including Paper Crafts, Cards, Scrapbooks, Etc and CardMaker Magazines. I love making cards and hand-crafted gifts (e.g., notebooks, wall hangings, etc.) to give away. I teach in our small town regularly as a way to reach out to the women in the community. It's a rewarding work because I get to do it with my girls.

I joined the paper crafting community in 2009 when I started my blog (http://ninabdesigns.blogspot.com/). I have since worked for several stamp companies (Layers of Color, The Craft’s Meow, Gina K Designs, The Angel Company and There She Goes Stamps) and for Spellbinders Dies as a product designer. Spellbinders Paper Arts just recently released my first licensed designs, Sewing Elements and Home Sweet Home. And I am excited and grateful that I have joined the Want2Scrap team, both as a product designer and as a DT member. I look forward to showcasing their beautiful products to you all!  

Always beautiful work and we are thrilled to have such a wonderful designer on our team!
