Dee Gruenig
Rubber Stamping & Card Making
Enthusiasm and passion
for her craft have been the keys to the success of rubber
stamp "Head Cheerleader" Dee Gruenig. As designer of the popular
Posh Impressions rubber stamp line, Dee's name is synonymous
with stamping. She is a businesswoman, a designer, a teacher,
an author, and an innovator. She has personally taught more
than 75 types of classes to more than 30,000 students. She's
authored 8 successful rubber stamping books. And she is a
frequent guest on HGTV's Carol Duvall Show!
It all began with three stamps - George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln and the American Flag. As a teacher for 17 years,
Dee often used these stamps on her students' papers or for
holiday projects. But it was during her summers off of teaching
that she really discovered what rubber stamps could do, and
it was actually at an interior design gift show in California
that she ran into a little stamp company, All Night Media,
and discovered that the world of rubber stamps spanned much
more than just American symbols.
Dee soon began focusing more and more on stamps. In addition
to teaching full time, she was also managing a thriving stamping
business on the side. "When I found that I was spending 15
minutes on each child's paper decorating it with ice cream
cones with different colored scoops, I knew it was time for
me to pursue stamping full time," Dee said. 
And pursue it she did. First, she opened her own stamping
store with tons of classroom space for Dee to share her love
of stamping with others. Then, she began to design her own
solid rubber stamps, to serve as palettes for blending lots
of colors directly onto the stamp to achieve a watercolor
effect. "And so my stamps were out there," she said. "My passion
was to show the world how colors went on the back of the stamp."
She soon began to create accessories to go with her stamps,
such as stamp markers and stamp holders. They all sold very
well, and the rest, as they say, is history…
