About the Teacher

Profile photo
Debbie Farinella

My name is Debbie Farinella and I'm from California. I am on the Creative Design Team at Sizzix. I have been a part of the paper crafting world for over 30 years! Having won an art contest for Mrs. Grossman's Paper Company during college, and working for the company for six years, I later owned an invitation and stationery store.  I sold it after seven years to enjoy being a full-time mom to three daughters who are now in their 20's! Returning to the paper crafting world, I have been a part of the Sizzix team for 18 years, sharing brand knowledge in our booth at trade and consumer shows. Working at the Sizzix global headquarters in California, I continue to enjoy teaching and demonstrating worldwide. Traveling with my husband and daughters and playing with paper... it's a great life!
