Kelly Nagy – Design Team Member – Illustrator
A passionate crafter who believes that every card tells a story. My crafting journey began when I was invited to a Creative Memories party when my son was just a baby, he’s now 27. The hostess had us heat emboss our own name tags! It was magical and I’ve been hooked ever since! I love experimenting with colors, textures, and innovative techniques to create unique, heartfelt pieces. From card making to scrapbooking, I pour my soul into every project because I know the joy a handmade creation can bring. When I’m not crafting, you’ll find me working at our local hospital as a Coding Manager, or spending quality time with my husband of 35 years. I can’t wait to share my passion and inspire you on your own crafting adventure!

Shilo Miles – Design Team Member
Shilo was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada, spending the majority of my life in the Kootenays. As a result I have a love for nature and spending time outside – I especially enjoy hiking and camping. I am also a big fan of all things cats and coffee. When I’m not outside playing, I’m usually inside creating.
I am an experienced paper-crafter, with over 24 years under my belt. I have owned my own scrapbooking store, taught many classes, and have been (and I still am) part of multiple design teams. I have also been published in the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine over the years. I have created many scrapbook layouts and albums…but by far, my passion is card making.
My unique card-making style includes mixing and matching patterned paper, adding dimension and texture (including sewing), and lots of layers. I love coloring stamped images with copic markers or colored pencils. And of course, there isn’t a card I’ve made that doesn’t have a whole lot of love in it!

Sandy Cogdill – Video Design Team Member
At Pajama Crafter Stamps, we believe creativity is a gift that brings joy, fosters connection, and inspires others—and Sandy Cogdill is a wonderful example of those values in action.
A proud Colorado native, Sandy calls the suburbs of Centennial home, where she and her husband of 43 years share life with Quincy, their delightfully stubborn pup. They are also blessed with two wonderful sons who are beginning families of their own, and Sandy treasures the fact that they all live nearby.
Creativity has been woven into Sandy’s life for as long as she can remember. As a child, she eagerly flipped through Christmas catalogs, dreaming about all the craft kits she hoped Santa might bring. That passion never faded. Over the years, Sandy has explored a wide variety of creative pursuits, including macramé, porcelain doll making, porcelain painting, and costuming. In fact, she spent several years teaching both porcelain painting and costuming, sharing her knowledge and encouraging others to discover their own creative talents.
While she still enjoys sewing, paper crafting has become her creative passion today. Her love of learning, experimenting, and creating beautiful handmade projects is exactly the kind of inspiration we love to share with the Pajama Crafter Stamps community.
When Sandy isn’t crafting, you’ll likely find her in her beloved “Zen Den”—her creative retreat filled with paper, inspiration, and the sounds of music or podcasts playing in the background. It’s the perfect space for bringing ideas to life and creating projects that spread joy to others.
We’re thrilled to have Sandy as part of the Pajama Crafter Stamps Design Team. Her lifetime of creativity, passion for learning, and generous spirit make her a wonderful source of inspiration, and we can’t wait to share her projects with you!
Danni Bindel – Design Team Member
At Pajama Crafter Stamps, we believe creativity is one of the most meaningful ways to encourage others, spread kindness, and create connections—and Danni Bindel embodies those values beautifully.
Danni has been creating for more than 20 years, beginning her paper crafting journey with scrapbooking before discovering card making and falling completely in love with it. Today, her favorite part of the creative process is stamping and coloring images, bringing them to life with her incredible Copic coloring skills. Watching a stamped image transform into a vibrant work of art is where her creativity truly shines.
One of the things we love most about Danni is her heart for others. She enjoys sending happy mail to friends and family to brighten their day and bring a smile to their faces. She has also begun donating handmade cards to several organizations, including her local children’s hospital—sharing kindness and encouragement one card at a time. That spirit of generosity and making a positive impact aligns perfectly with the mission and values of Pajama Crafter Stamps.
As a new empty nester, Danni is embracing new adventures both in and out of her craft room. When she isn’t creating, you’ll often find her visiting zoos, traveling, or spending time with her feline crafting assistant, Alyssa, who keeps a close eye on things whenever treats aren’t involved!

Melissa Oeters – Design Team Member
At Pajama Crafter Stamps, we believe creativity is about more than making beautiful projects—it’s about finding joy, sharing inspiration, and creating meaningful connections. Melissa Oeters embodies all of those qualities, and we’re excited to have her as part of our Design Team.
Melissa lives in a rural area of Illinois, where the peaceful pace of life and the beauty of nature provide the perfect backdrop for creativity. Crafting has been a significant part of her life for more than 30 years, and throughout that time she has explored a wide variety of creative hobbies. While she enjoys many forms of crafting, one passion has remained constant: coloring.
For Melissa, coloring is more than a technique—it’s a creative escape and a way to bring images to life. Whether she’s working with colored pencils, markers, or gel pens, she loves the process of adding color, depth, and personality to stamped images. Her talent for coloring and eye for detail shine through in every project she creates, making her work both inspiring and approachable for fellow crafters.
Family is at the center of Melissa’s life. She has been happily married for 38 years and, together with her husband, has raised four wonderful children. These days, one of her greatest joys is spending time with her precious grandson. The love, care, and encouragement she pours into her family are the same qualities she brings to the crafting community.

Cynthia Olheiser – Design Team Member
At Pajama Crafter Stamps, we believe that handmade cards are more than paper and ink—they are a way to share encouragement, strengthen relationships, and show others they are loved. Cynthia Olheiser beautifully embodies that spirit, and we’re delighted to have her as part of our Design Team.
Cynthia and her husband recently celebrated 35 years of marriage and have embarked on an exciting new chapter of life after relocating from Anchorage, Alaska, to southwest Missouri to be closer to family. They are quickly settling into country life and enjoying everything it has to offer. When they aren’t crafting, they love traveling, fishing, camping, gardening, and spending time with the people they love most.
Like many passionate paper crafters, Cynthia’s creative journey began more than 30 years ago with scrapbooking. It wasn’t long before a neighbor introduced her to card making, and she quickly fell in love with the ability to share what she calls her “handmade love” with family and friends. That desire to encourage and bless others through handmade cards aligns perfectly with the heart of Pajama Crafter Stamps.
One of the most meaningful parts of Cynthia’s crafting journey has been using her talents to serve others through her church’s card ministry. Creating cards that uplift, encourage, and support others has been a true blessing and reflects the impact that handmade kindness can have on people’s lives.
Over the years, Cynthia’s style has continued to evolve as she explores new techniques, creative card folds, and innovative ways to use stamps and paper crafting products. She loves experimenting, learning new skills, and sharing her discoveries with fellow crafters. Her enthusiasm for both teaching and learning makes her a wonderful addition to the Pajama Crafter Stamps family.
We’re thrilled to welcome Cynthia to the Pajama Crafter Stamps Design Team and can’t wait for you to be inspired by her creativity, techniques, and passion for sharing handmade kindness with others.
