Stamping techniques

Excellent book. Just as described. Fast shipping. Good price. Would recommend seller.

Wonderful step by step instructions

I have been the in craft industry for over 14 years as a business owner, designer, and teacher. I enjoyed this book for many reasons, but especially the wonderful step by step instructions and pictures. The instructions are easy to follow and the pictures help make everything clear how to do each step. The book touched numerous techniques that are for every level of crafting and made the reader feel like stamping really is for everyone! Card making and stamps can be expensive but the authors did a nice job of telling readers how to make their own stamps and use inexpensive methods of creating beautiful cards. My favorite technique shown is the "Decorated Cake". The picture and instructions made me want to go right out and try this because the results are so beautiful! Anybody who wants to better their crafting skills would be wise to read this book!
