Heidi Swapp - Designer Q and A

Today we welcome back Heidi Swapp!!  Heidi is Centre Stage at Artfull Crafts for the month of November. You may have noticed that every week we've been loading up more and more of Heidi's products and each week she has been featuring on our blog. We've also been giving away prizes each week (thanks to Heidi!). Keep reading all the way to the bottom to see how you can win the prize pack shown below.

Thanks Heidi for sharing your product designing secrets with us.

 
1) How often do you produce a new release and what’s coming up that we should be excited about? 

There is constanly something in the works! Right now I have several things that are just so awesome… I can’t really tell… but I will say that I have a new collection called “my favorite things” that was totally inspired by my trip in May to New Zealand!

2) How would you describe your style of crafting? 

Shoot, I might need YOU to describe. I think I’d say it’s fun, no rules, colorful acheiveable and meaningful!

3) How do you get your creative juices flowing. What inspires you? 
Nothing inspires me more than a deadline, and a clean house!

4) Please describe the process from design concept through to product delivery. 

Starts with inspiring images and colors. I make a WISH list for the collection… start pencil sketching and concepts! I work with a graphic designer, and between us we polish it up, and create the final products! Then I wait on pins and needles until it’s in my hands!

5) What’s your personal all-time favourite Heidi Swapp range and why? 

This is a tough question. I always love the next thing coming! But I sure do love the Vintage Chic stuff… it’s the most mixable! I LOVE Memory Files… and wow, I really love Color Magic… see… too hard to pick!

Thanks Heidi for taking the time to share with us. Here's a piccie of Heidi (left) and me in Auckland this year. I really enjoyed Heidi's classes and her sense of fun!
