Put your stamp on everything from home accents to clothing! If you want to create your own stamps, you'll find out how to carve them, convert everyday objects into stamps, and use natural materials such as leaves to produce sophisticated designs. Or, use the many ready-made stamps available to enhance whatever you like. Transferring ink to a surface will always be popular, but you'll also learn alternative methods for achieving great effects, such as stamping fabric with bleach, heat stamping velvet, and imprinting polymer clay. Whether you transform a junk CD into a stylish clock, dress up plain wrapping paper, or emboss a hat with exquisite patterns, these 40 elegant projects are a superb introduction to a craft you'll fall in love with.

Ah, the difference a professional eye makes. Instead of random stamps stuck over boring surfaces, Aimone coaxes a wealth of unusual effects by combining paint, bleach, designer motifs, polymer clay, and other materials. The introductory information needs some supplements; for example, no real brands or even generic names for equipment are recommended within the text (though the stamps used in the 40 projects are included in an appendix). Ignore that minor flaw, because the heart of this stamping album lies in the design worthiness of the patterns, from an amazing simulation of the Lascaux cave paintings (atop a card) and a faux "burnt velvet" pillow to fool-the-eye wood jewelry (modeled in polymer clay) and nature-inspired leaf napkins. There is a page on making your own stamps and a gallery to drool over. Appended to this excellent stamp book are templates, and stamp and supply credits. Barbara Jacobs
