Completely Helpful Book!

I am a 19-year old college student on a tight crafting budget and this book has opened up a whole new world of ideas for me! I don't have the money to buy all of the fancy products on the market, and the Complete Guide to Stamping has given me dozens of simple ideas for extravagant cards, beautiful scrapbook pages and gorgeous gift ideas. I am entirely grateful to this guide for all of the tips and tricks, and I recommend this book to anyone who likes crafts, loves being creative, and takes great pride in beautiful finished products. Whether you're on a tight budget or on no budget, this book is sure to get the creative juices going!

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!
