| Gina K from Gina K. Designs |
Gina K, or Krupsky, was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. She moved to Madison, WI when her husband attended the University of Wisconsin. He then went to Marquette University to study Law. They liked the area so much they decided to stay and raise a family near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
As a young mother, Gina found stamping just like you or I would, at a stamp party. She enjoyed this new hobby and soon became a demonstrator (to get the discount on merchandise!). Soon she was winning trips on cruises for doing so well as a demonstrator.
She began doing workshops and it became a full-time job. Gina found she loved teaching something she was passionate about! When the company that she demonstrated for changed their career policy, Gina decided it was time to change her career!
In 1998, that's when Gina K. Designs, LLC was born!
In 2007, her husband after many years as an attorney quit and is now working for Gina K. Designs as well as their two daughters, Alicia and Rina.
Walking through an empty formal dining room that was only used twice a year, Gina decided to move from the tiny guest bedroom space to her dining room! A trip to the IKEA store in Chicago, a desk, a shelving unit, and a couple of small cupboards later she had her dream little studio. She had room to work, her supplies close at hand and she was close to her family!

Gina K. Designs sells their products in many stores. They also sponsor artists and help them get their foot in the door. But the teaching continues with StampTV. Gina is passionate about helping others and shows techniques along with showcasing her products.

Gina K. has her studio located in Glendale, WI. She also has a brick-and-mortar shop called Village Paper and Ink located in the historic district in Glendale, WI. Her stamps and dies are made in Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She does classes at her shop on Saturdays. I would like to take a day trip to visit since I live about an hour away and never knew it! Maybe I can talk Jen into coming with me! (Penny too!)
