Stamping Trails

Stamping Trails 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.

Stampin’ Up! held a virtual scrapbook retreat in July, and together we created 12 monthly layouts. After seeing some of the gorgeous finished pages from my fellow demos, I just had to grab this kit for myself! 💕

I’m diving into my very first layout, and I can’t wait to show you how it turns out… hopefully soon! 📸✨Who else is ready to give scrapbooking a try? 🙋‍♀️

Another day, another beauty from the Autumn Toile Suite Collection! Yesterday I shared a card with Pecan Pie, and today I switched it up by using Cajun Craze for the base and die-cut layer. That rich, earthy color makes the pumpkins and harvest scene pop even more!

This suite has quickly become one of my fall favorites—the detailed imagery, warm tones, and layered textures make creating seasonal cards so effortless. I love how just a simple color change gives the same design a completely different feel.
Would you choose Cajun Craze or Pecan Pie for your autumn cards?

Autumn vibes are in full swing with this card I cased from a fellow demonstrator! I used Pecan Pie as the base and for the embossed leaves and wheat stalks—it’s the perfect warm tone for fall. The gorgeous Autumn Toile Suite Collection brought it all together with that detailed scenic paper and a heartfelt sentiment inside.

I have to say, I’m completely in love with this suite—the textures, patterns, and colors are stunning for all your fall crafting projects. What do you think—are you team make now for fall or stash for Thanksgiving?

Wrapping up my cheers series with one more card I cased from a fellow demo! This time I played with the Cheers & Sips Bundle and Celebratory Sips DSP in a fresh way—adding embossed texture in the background and layering in some fun pops of color.

Of course, I couldn’t resist finishing it off with a few holographic resin dots for that extra sparkle. ✨ This set has been such a blast to create with, and I love how versatile it is for celebrating everything from birthdays to just-because moments.
Here’s to creativity, inspiration, and always finding something new to “cheers” about!

Here’s another cheers-worthy card I created while catching up on some of the sets I didn’t get to play with before my daughter’s wedding. 🥂 This one features the Cheers & Sips Bundle along with the Celebratory Sips DSP—such a fun pairing for bright and festive cards!

I added a pop of pizzazz with the holographic resin dots, because a cocktail-inspired card just isn’t complete without a little sparkle. I love how these products bring summer vibes right into fall celebrations. Perfect for birthdays, parties, or just sending some cheer!
