We design rubber stamps, inks for stamping, scrapboooking such as those that made these Pre-Columbian themed card above and scrapbook pages besides other products. For stamping there are about 80 sets in 6 distinct collection styles plus Duets to provide something for nearly everyone.



We are a company founded and led by Dee Gruenig. In 1979 she picked up her first rubber stamp. It was manufactured by All Night Media, and began an instant love affair! Today her stamps are manufactured and made available by JudiKins. Over Posh's history, Dee has licensed with other leading companies such as Uchida of America (Marvy) and Mrs. Grossman's Paper Company. She sometimes assisted other companies such as Sailor and OTT-LITE and had great fun working with Paper Adventures, ProCraft, Xyron, and Ranger to put her designs into scrapbooking papers and other products. She and her husband Warren know they have been privileged to work past and present with companies so respected for product quality and integrity.

Dee, and Posh Impressions have set sales records for rubber stamps through Jr. League fund raisers and six retail stores that led to her own line of rubber stamps, Posh Impressions. The first request for a posh rubber stamp was made by Ladybird Johnson when Dee participated in a Jr. League show in Austin, Texas. At first she taught numerous classes and individuals face to face, but there were just too many so she turned to instruction mostly through media.

Her first video, made for the Stampin' Up home party system, used to recruit their huge number of representatives, led to 11 more of her own plus 10 authored or co-authored books, with The Great Rubber Stamp Book selling a record setting 292,000 copies before it went into Costco as centerpiece of a stamping kit. She was often a featured speaker at major events including the first 9 Stampin' Up conventions, has been a regular guest on HGTV's Carol Duvall Show for about 10 years, besides doing some DIY and Public Television shows, and was privileged to serve as a Crafts & Hobby Association (CHA) Board of Director for two terms. Dee's husband joined her to serve as CEO for 15 years.

An online stamp club, Club Posh, began in 2001 when Posh Impressions' web master and about 70 stampers expressed interest in establishing a club for stamping and scrapbooking. Today it is a club site with many on-line members. Many participate in forum discussions, offering mutual help and care, member stamp art galleries, swaps, contests and challenges. There is no charge for membership. You can visit or join at www.ClubPosh.com.

Dee's newest products are five large unmounted rubber stamp collections using the EZ Mount system of unmounted rubber stamping made and originated by Sunday International. Working beautifully with these stamps are her signature Blending Blox and brush art markers made by Marvy. She also has two current popular DVDs available; the 2 1/2 hour Simply Posh and the shorter, newest, Using EZ Mount with Dee Gruenig that features her four newest projects. It was shot with a live audience.

Something especially exciting is the expansion of Dee Gruenig Signature Designs by JudiKins, a company that not only manufactures quality but teaches through classes and videos how to properly use stamps for terrific results.

Numerous articles about Dee and her products have appeared in the year 2007 in various magazines and hard cover books that we have been unable to list here due to time limits and bacause we have not seen most of the magazines as companies now advertise for Dee and Posh instead of ourselves so that the advertising companies receive the magazine copies.
