This book is my go to book for inspiration when I'm needing a fresh idea. It's easy to look at their cards and apply them to your style. I have 30 books on card making just for that reason, fresh ideas, and none compare to the variety and ease of translating to your style as found in this book. Nothing in it is weird that you wouldn't want to try either.

I still have a few more ideas to try, in my colors and patterns and pictures, of course. For instance, I haven't tried bleaching yet and their examples look nice.

Although it is titled for rubber stamped cards, I haven't used my rubber stamps yet to make one of these cards. It's very easy to make similar background papers and focal point pictures on the computer and maybe use a big paper punch for the focal shapes. I sometimes put clear embossing liquid over the focal points to make my own shiny glassy like sticker. I even started taking pictures of all my cards before sending them to start a collection of my own favorites.

The pages in the book are similar to what you see on the cover, two or three examples of the same technique. This makes it very easy to apply your own imagination to their samples. I have to say this book is better than they describe. This is a very good book for the beginner or seasoned card maker and would make a much appreciated gift for either. A must buy for your own library or a perfect first book to get you started.
