Hello and Welcome to Kathleen Burke Designs! I’m so glad you are here!
My name is Kathleen and I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota with my other half, Brian. I am a registered nurse working full time nights (by choice!). I usually have no issues sleeping during the day and have always been more of a night owl. I do a lot of my crafting late at night or my weekends off.
I always loved the idea of stamping and card making but I didn’t take the leap until the summer of 2018 after going to the Pinners Conference in Minneapolis. There was a booth selling wood mounted stamps and I fell in love! I took a few a bag of them home and I was hooked!
My creative backstory.
When I was a kid my mother would make/decorate our birthday cakes – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Winnie the Pooh, Barbie, etc. She taught me how to decorate cake at a young age and soon I was making family and friends birthday cakes, graduation cakes, anniversary and even a couple wedding cakes. While going to school for my BSN I didn’t make many cakes but after moving to Minneapolis I started making them again. However, I discovered that making cake is super stressful (for me) and transporting them is even worse!
I still make them from time to time but I found card making is more relaxing and much easier to transport!
