Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Pam Stang

Hi, my name is Pam and I am originally from Ohio.  I moved to Colorado after marrying Jeff in 1988.  We have two beautiful, smart, talented and athletic girls; Bailey and MacKenna.  

Both of my daughters play soccer.  Bailey is a senior at Metro State Univ. of Denver and plays on 4 indoor soccer teams (2 coed and 2 women’s teams) and aspires to possibly be a grad assistant at MacKenna’s school-Ottawa University. MacKenna tore her ACL this summer...bummer dude! She is redshirting and cheering her team on from the sidelines this fall.

I am passionate about many things and my favorite thing is to watch my girls play soccer.  I also love music, dancing, biking, hiking and camping, too. When not doing something with or for my girls, my biggest passion is paper!  I’ve been making my own greeting cards for as long as I can remember.  I do believe I am a paper hoarder!  I succumbed to stamping in 2006 when I went to a SU! Party and as everyone says, “The rest is history!”

My journey with Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company as a design team member began in April of 2011.  I feel very fortunate to have personally met Lois and some other awesome people in the stamping world.  I feel blessed to be a member of this great company and to be able to share my love of stamping and creativity. I would LOVE to be able to meet everyone some day!

I am a big fan of using fun, different techniques.  Today, I will be illustrating the great technique; magical masking tape.  Just a few fairly simple steps and you have a really beautiful creation.

You can find Pam's latest tutorial here on SpeedyTV and visit her blog here for more inspiration.

Featured Designer for the week, September 17, 2013

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 15 years and love it. I demo at rubber stamp conventions in my tri-state area whenever possible. At a rubber stamp convention years ago, I was asked to send in a sample for publication while demoing at a convention in New Jersey. I have since had my work published in Vamp Stamp News, The Stamper's Sampler, Somerset Gallery, The Rubber Stamper and Scrap & Stamp Art. 

As of April 2012 I joined the SR design team of Mark’s Finest Papers.  I was on the Creative Crew for the stamp company Lasting Impressions with Panache from June 2005 to 2008 and the design team for Faerie Song Art Stamps in May 2008 to February 2012.  Sunday International is another design team I have had the privilege to be associated. 

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 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! And I like to tell my students, “there are no mistakes in rubber stamping just happy accidents!”.
