A must have for your stamping library

This book was a wealth of information on everything we stampers want to know and learn about. There are tons of projects and techniques to keep you busy for a very long time. And in the back there is a helpful section of terms and resources. If you have a limited amount of dollars to spend on books about stamping then I would suggest that this book should be a "must have" for your stamping library. It was worth every penny I paid for it.

Woderful, imaginative & inspirational artistic projects

This is a wonderful book for stampers of all levels. It starts out by describing the basic materials & techniques used in stamping. Then it both demonstrates & explains step-by-step each of 15 techniques by various artists.Some of my favorite projects include faux postage stamps, stamped booklets, miniature books, stamp carving & reverse stamping. An easy, less messy approach to marbling surfaces was indispensable to me.The 3 galleries focusing on artistic stamping, altered surfaces, & mixed media effects are of great inspiration. Another gallery section shows a wide variety of techniques made with just one stamp, such as cranes or grapevines. The glossary, extensive resource list & directory of artists are great bonuses. If you're looking for fresh stamping ideas focusing on non-cute, artistic stamping this is the book for you.

Pictures Don't Say It All

Two things I admire in books are beautiful book design and good writing.I've come to expect that magical combination from Somerset Studio magazine and it shows up again in this book: beautiful photos, elegant layout and crystal-clear descriptions of how the sophisticated paper and letter arts projects are accomplished.It's by no means merely a picture book.

Must have book for rubber stamp fanatics!!

This book is excellent for both beginner and advanced rubber stampers. There are color pictures on every page, great project ideas, and step-by-step instructions using the latest and greatest products. Several excellent Magenta stamp projects (I'd personally like to see a whole book of JUST Magenta stamp projects, but that's me!). I especially liked the sections in the back where they gave a single stamp to 7 or 8 different artists, and let them "create" a project. What fabulous variety! This book is a must have, and leaves you wanting more......

Eye candy for paper artists!!!

This book has fifteen projects that are shown in a step-by-step fashion as well as a gallery of other projects using the same techniques. The layout is clean and the photography is very lush and Somerset Studio-like.....I learned several new techniques and was really pleased with the close up photos. I'm ready for StampArtII.
