This was the first book I bought on stamping, and it almost turned me off to the craft. There is little guidance and no step by step instruction in this book. I still have no idea how to get the looks achieved in the book. As a beginner, I cannot recommend this book- I suppose the advanced stampers out there can glean some ideas from the book, but as a beginner, I'm totally lost as to completing the projects in this book.
If you want pictures of stamp art this is a good source. If you want a book to teach you technique and expand you're stamping ability, don't waste you're money here.
If you like REALLY BOLD colors and patterns then this would be a book for you, but most people will find it much too harsh I think. The book is primarily brayer techniques that seem like they are designs of 2 decades ago (in color and style). There are some good tips to learn from the book, but the design style put me off so much that I found I didn't want to read it much. I'd say keep looking for other stamping books instead of this one.
Dee knows how to excite anyone who wants to try their hand at creativity through mail art. Her colors are often bold, and her technique easy to master. She makes sure that the reader is soon addicted and in need of a fix, MORE RUBBER STAMPS! There is no cure, why fight it? This book makes a great gift for the novice as well as the master stamper. After completing her book, you will begin your search for the finest papers, stamps, inks, as well as odds and ends that will spice up your creation. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas with all of us who are in need of inspiration
