Marianne C. Merola
I guess I am considered a veteran stamper. I was introduced to rubberstamping when I relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada from Florida in 1989. I have always been fortunate to have a second room set up as my stamp room. I relocated back to Florida in 1997 and it took over 40 boxes to pack up my stamp collection and supplies. My 2nd bedroom was dedicated to rubberstamping; however, it had become too small for this addiction. Since I am single and live alone, I decided to get rid of my couch, convert my living room and dining room into an art studio/classroom and make the 2nd bedroom into a den/reading room. It is in my den that I relax with a stamping magazine when I am not stamping in my studio. I showcase my stamps throughout my apartment.
Over the years, I have worked for several stamp stores in Florida and in Las Vegas, not only in the capacity of a rubberstamping teacher and demonstrator but also in the manufacturing of rubberstamps. I have also demonstrated different stamping techniques at stamp conventions in Las Vegas, Arizona and California. My classes encompass all different avenues of rubberstamping. I have also had my work published in several different stamping and crafting magazines. I can’t really say what my favorite style of stamping is, but I do enjoy teaching the different types of kinetic cards that pop, flip and slide.
