Review

The relative ease and low investment that this craft requires attracts many beginners. But the burgeoning sophistication of stamps and related supplies (including a bewildering array of inks and embossing powders) has extended its appeal to experienced artisans and resulted in many advanced techniques, along with increased costs for materials. Fortunately, help is at hand in this wonderful book, which offers a lovely array of projects and thorough information on all the groundwork. Wisely avoiding the cutesy look to which this craft often succumbs, the author provides elegant ideas for rubber stamping gift-wrapping, stationery, home decor, fabrics, and plates, as well as a chapter on holidays and special occasions, supplemented by good, clear photos.
