Rubber Stamping for advanced stampers

I am not a expert stamper but have been stamping for awhile. But this book is helpful for people that have been stamping. Its like a Stampers Bible. The outline and pictures are fantastic, as well as the instructions very easy to use from the beginner to advanced. It's one of the best stamping books I have read.

A stamping good eye-opener

Scheffler is the Matisse of the rubber stamp world. She lays out her projects clearly and with skill. Fantastic "rainy day" ideas for kids--and grandma too. If you never though stamping was for you (like me) give this book a browse and you'll want to stamp everything in sight. (I wish my cat were slower!) This book is definitive and indispensible.

Must have for beginners!

I am new to Rubber Stamping and have bought a few books - this one was by far the best for me as a beginner! It clearly lays out many techniques, gives tips and hints and shows some nice project ideas. The techniques are laid out for each project, but they are easily adapted to whatever project of your own you want to do based on that technique. Not only paper projects, there are many others as well.

Great Book

This is an excellent book for beginners. There is a wealth of information especially for the novice. It details the difference in many kinds of materials, including what inks to use on what projects. For somebody who is just learning to rubber stamp, this book will lead them through carefully, slowly, and with precision.

Great How-To, Whether Or Not You Know How

Wow! What a great book. It takes the novice (me!) and teaches you how to make projects that look professional, even if you're all thumbs (me, again.) I'd never rubber-stamped before, but can't wait to do it again, since my first project turned out so well, thanks to Ms. Scheffler. I especially appreciated the clear directions so even I couldn't screw up.
