Rubber Stamping for the First Timeby Carol Scheffler Hardcover: 112 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.56 x 10.32 x 8.85 Publisher: Sterling Publications; (September 1999) ISBN: 0806959452 Check price @ amazon.com , amazon.ca , amazon.co.uk Amazon.com: Even if you've never stamped anything more than the date on a business form, you'll find crafting success with Carol Scheffler's colorful and user-friendly Rubber Stamping for the First Time. Like other worthwhile books in the First Time series, this guide takes a sensible question-and-answer approach to teach techniques and offer project directions simultaneously. "How do I heat emboss?" for instance, heads up the directions for a journal; "How do I create a scene with rubber stamps?" yields a videotape cover; "How do I use stamps on wood?" introduces a decorative bowl; and so on through gift tags, note cards, picture frames, lampshades, dinnerware, a clock, and much more. Each of the 27 projects brings with it a new technique, but if you decide to jump ahead, it's simple enough to find the technique you've skipped over by glancing at the table of contents. Sidebars bestow additional tips, and a gallery of designs by stamping masters provides further inspiration. --Amy Handy Book Description: For every first-time rubber stamp crafter, this is the book you'll need! If you've admired the great look of rubber stamps, this filled-to-the-brim guide, by the crafts contributor to the Today Show, reveals how to do it all. With 40 projects and 27 techniques specifically geared to the beginner, it covers equipment; establishing a workspace; using inks, markers, paints, and colored pencils; producing a clean, non-smudged image; stamping on non-paper surfaces; embossing; designing backgrounds and borders; and achieving multicolored effects. Practice these techniques on gift tags, Halloween party ideas, a decorative journal, a picture matte, and more. Bonus: troubleshooting tips at every stage! The author lives in Larchmont, NY. 112 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10. Customer Reviews Rubber Stamping for advanced stampers, July 23, 2002 Reviewer: Joanne Johnson from Richmond, VA United States I am not a expert stamper but have been stamping for awhile. But this book is helpful for people that have been stamping. Its like a Stampers Bible. The outline and pictures are fantastic, as well as the instructions very easy to use from the beginner to advanced. It's one of the best stamping books I have read. Great for newbies, May 13, 2002 Reviewer: lagirl99 from California I just started rubber stamping and I bought four stamping books for ideas. This was my favorite of the lot. It included several techniques I hadn't heard of before but that were easy for me, as a beginner, to recreate. The photography is beautiful and the instructions are easy to understand. A stamping good eye-opener, August 21, 2000 Reviewer: Mark D. Kaufmann from Santa Monica, CA United States Scheffler is the Matisse of the rubber stamp world. She lays out her projects clearly and with skill. Fantastic "rainy day" ideas for kids--and grandma too. If you never though stamping was for you (like me) give this book a browse and you'll want to stamp everything in sight. (I wish my cat were slower!) This book is definitive and indispensible. Must have for beginners!, July 4, 2000 Reviewer: robynwins from Saint Charles, MO USA I am new to Rubber Stamping and have bought a few books - this one was by far the best for me as a beginner! It clearly lays out many techniques, gives tips and hints and shows some nice project ideas. The techniques are laid out for each project, but they are easily adapted to whatever project of your own you want to do based on that technique. Not only paper projects, there are many others as well. Great Book, November 26, 1999 Reviewer: Stephanie from United States This is an excellent book for beginners. There is a wealth of information especially for the novice. It details the difference in many kinds of materials, including what inks to use on what projects. For somebody who is just learning to rubber stamp, this book will lead them through carefully, slowly, and with precision. Great How-To, Whether Or Not You Know How, October 30, 1999 Reviewer: cre8fma@aol.com Wow! What a great book. It takes the novice (me!) and teaches you how to make projects that look professional, even if you're all thumbs (me, again.) I'd never rubber-stamped before, but can't wait to do it again, since my first project turned out so well, thanks to Ms. Scheffler. I especially appreciated the clear directions so even I couldn't screw up.
