Scrapbooks, Stamps and Crafts - OH MY!

Suze Weinberg and Unity Stamps

Our first guest is nationally known, Suze Weinberg, who has been designing and creating with rubber stamps and mixed media for over 20 years. Suze has owned and operated her own agency, The Suze Weinberg Design Studio, Inc. in Howell, NJ for many years. Her calligraphic & stamped work has been published in the Speedball Textbook, The Greeting Card Design Book, Rubber Stamper Magazine, RubberStampMadness, National Stampagraphic, VAMP Stamp News, Calligraphy Review and, her own calligraphy book (published by Troll Associates in November 1995) “Do It Yourself” Calligraphy geared for ages 12 to adult. In the first two months of its publication this book sold over 50,000 copies & immediately went into its second printing. Suze has spent the over 20 years teaching rubber stamp related classes for stamp stores, clubs and conventions all over the United States and abroad with classes in Hawaii, Germany, England, South Africa, Australia and Royal Caribbean cruises. She has a large signature line of products, many of them manufactured by Ranger Industries (which fall under the banner of Melt Art) and are carried by stores worldwide. Her first video“Ultimate Enamels” came in 1998 and the second “Backgrounds Into The Forefront” in April of 1999. That same year Sterling Publications published her first hardcover book “The Art of Rubber Stamping”. She has two “How-to” books “Totally Textured Stamp Art” and “Melt Art Impressions” published by Design Originals. In her ‘other life’ Suze is quite proud to be an accomplished musician, having studied piano since age 6 and singing professionally as a cantor in her synagogue for 16 years and is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC. She and husband Lenny, a marine engineer, have been married for 44 years. They have 3 married children and four grandchildren. Two beautiful cats, Sterling and Mollie, round out the household and think the tub of embossing powder on Suze’s work table is a fancy litter box!!

Our second guest today is  Angela Magnuson co-owner, along with her husband Christian of Unity Stamp Company.  They have developed the superior mounting system that brings two worlds together. Their handle caters to the wood mounted rubber stamper as well as the un-mounted stamper. They have over 100 kits and 1000 images within their unique line of rubber stamps.  Chris and Angela spend their days in Spicer, Minnesota raising their 4 sons growing sons and loving every moment of their new adventure.
