Simply Stated Design

Although many things are coming to a close here at Simply Stated, this space is where my connection to this community will continue to grow.
Join us on Patreon and enjoy at least five monthly virtual events, take part in weekly creative challenges, stay connected in our Facebook community, and keep full access to my entire website — including new custom design work created exclusively for Patreon members.
This is where the next chapter lives, and I’d love to have you there with me.

After a great deal of reflection, I’ve made the decision to step into a full‑time office role and begin winding down Simply Stated Designs as it exists today. Over the years, this business has grown beyond anything I ever imagined, and while that growth has been incredible, it has also become more than I can sustainably manage. I’ve realized that the pace required to keep up means missing too much of my life, and it’s time for a change.

This business has been a huge part of my world for nearly 20 years, and building this brand and community has been one of the greatest joys of my life. While this transition is bittersweet, it will allow me to focus on the parts of Simply Stated that matter most to me: creativity, connection, and community.

Here’s what this shift will look like:

Patreon will continue as usual.

The website will remain active for Patreon members.

I will continue offering custom design work and hosting all virtual events.

The full site will remain available for members to shop at their leisure.

Monthly new releases will come to an end, and Simply Stated will move into a quieter, more intentional chapter.

The website will stay open to the public for one final month before becoming password‑protected for Patreon members only starting July 1. Our June virtual crop will go ahead as planned, and our October in‑person crop will now serve as a farewell event, where I’ll be selling the remaining inventory.

This has not been an easy decision, and I appreciate your understanding as I take a few days to process and prepare for this transition. If you have time‑sensitive questions, please reach out to Nadine at the Simply Stated Designs email address. I’ll be back shortly to share more about what’s ahead.

This gorgeous card was designed by Sieanna using the Dragoncore collection. The interactive design is so fantastic, what a fun piece to open up. If you are member in Chantel’s Patreon then you got to see this card come together in real time, the demo was just one of the amazing member benefits.

These incredible cards were designed by Breanna using the Powered By Puns Solids Paper Pack, Father's Day Sentiments and Powered by Puns Dad Jokes Ephemera. A perfect combination of products.
We are obsessed! with how Breanna transformed the solids Paper into shirts using the Hero Arts Jean Jacket Die Set, she created a dimensional card by popping them up on embossed backgrounds.

These cards are so fantastic and such a fun way to create with the paper. Find all these products in the online shop.

These 2 pages from Natasha are so pretty. She has created them with the Cottagecore collection and it couldn't be more perfect for her photos. We love how all the elements came together to create a whimsical place for her tea party memories. Natasha has taken the ephemera and matted it on cardstock to create a thicker piece, it creates an ephemera that looks like chipboard and we love that! What an easy way transform the product to suit your needs.

This fantastic layout from Laura was created using the Sir Crunch Alot collection. We love how she built up her background combining multiple patterns and adding in the dimensional florals. Let's also give a moment in the spotlight for the sweetest photo, what a great paper collection to pair it with, the vintage vibe of Sir Crunch Alot works perfectly.
