Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Sue W

I am self-taught, although I have taken many classes from some of my favorite artists. I have been teaching rubber stamping around my state for over 10 years and love it. I have had my work published in Vamp Stamp News, The Stamper's Sampler, Somerset Gallery, The Rubber Stamper and Scrap & Stamp Art.
In April 2012 I joined the SR design team of Mark’s Finest Papers. Having a blog and being on design teams is a fun and easy way to share my love of rubber stamping.

My passion right now is creating unique postcards and hand stamped greeting cards. Other interests are carving my own stamps, bookmaking, beading and discovering new and improved techniques to share.

On a personal note I'm married and live in Connecticut. My art is inspired by the mood I happen to be in at that moment. When it comes to art I like to say, "What is old is new again! "There are no mistakes in rubber stamping just happy accidents!" 


You can find Sue's tutorial on SpeedyTV  here. Be sure to check out Sue's blog Stamping Sue. 

 Thanks for stopping by today sorry for the delay in posting. Be sure to come back next week for another great Featured Designer Sue W

Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Kate Zurresen

Kate Zerrusen is a fairly new member of our SR Design Team & this is her first tutorial as featured designer.

Kate has been crafting for a very long time but began paper crafting about 7 yrs.  ago when she just HAD to figure out how her sister made all of those beautiful cards that she was getting for Christmas & her birthday. An addiction was born!

Kate makes a lot of cards & scrapbooks on occasion,  but her real passion is altered art & anything vintage.

This works out well for her since she lives in central Illinois & has antique shops, flea markets & auctions within easy driving time.

Kate  has created a great tutorial for us this week on Altered Frame which can be found here.  Be sure to check out Kate's  blog Just Another Ink Spot for some AWESOME inspiration and tips. 

Be sure to come back next week for another article with our Featured Designer Sue W.
