5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a rubber stamp teacher and this DVD is great!, August 13, 2007

This review is from: Rubber Paper Scissors with Judi Watanabe (DVD)

I'm always impressed when I can get a stamping publication of any kind that teaches me something that I have not already read or learned elsewhere, so I didn't expect to learn anything new from this one, but I'm pleased to report that I was wrong. Judi is very watchable--she makes every point that a beginning stamper needs to know about learning to stamp (without being overbearing about it OR boring, either!) as well as including some stamping instruction to appeal to the same stamper as skill improves and reminders for those of us who may be returning to a technique that has changed because of improved supplies. Judi's artwork is always appealing and professional but what makes it more so is that even the baby beginning cards are very do-able! Be sure to watch every single part of the DVD as the gallery includes more tips spoken over the artwork showing and the bloopers are a hoot and include a 'secret' joke that will make you watch the entire thing again just to catch it all!
I've taken shorter classes that have cost more and taught me less, and I'll be recommending this DVD to ALL my students as a staple for their stamping resource shelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great instructional DVD for card makers and scrapbookers!, July 22, 2007

This review is from: Rubber Paper Scissors with Judi Watanabe (DVD)

This DVD is long overdue! Judi Watanabe is a veteran in the rubber stamping industry and has recently been doing super scrapbook-related episodes on CraftTV. I've been longing for a comprehensive instructional DVD to come along to really go through the paces of using rubber stamps. I used to be a rubber stamper, but with a lot of old techniques. This is chock-full of step-by-step instructions, great video and audio. It's a PageSage production so if you're familiar with Tim Holtz' DVDs - this is the same high quality. Judi is a great teacher and has clearly thought out her projects so that they built on each technique. She goes through the Basics, using solid stamps (which always is a challenge for me), coloring stamps, using embossing powders, using masks (which really adds a lot of sophistication to a piece without a lot of complication!), doing resists, making backgrounds, a couple of other technique areas, such as, folds and pop-ups! I can't wait to do these pop-ups for kid's cards! And she always shows variations on the projects, too, to keep your creative juices flowing. You'll be introduced to some products, via name brands (i.e., Judikins), but this is definitely not a product-plugging DVD. It may seem pricey at first, but it has a run time of over 120 minutes! I watched the whole video from start to finish and I can't wait to dig out some old stamps that I was almost getting rid of because I couldn't see new uses for them. Hopefully, Judi will come out with Part II soon!

This review is from: Rubber Paper Scissors with Judi Watanabe (DVD)

If you've ever been to the JudiKins booth at a stamping convention, you know that the demos are always inspiring, whether the technique is simple or complex. Judi Watanabe, owner of JudiKins, brings that inspiration to her DVD, Rubber Paper Scissors.

While this DVD appeals to beginners, experienced stampers will also be inspired by Judi's projects, her sense of design and style and the many tips and tricks that she uses to achieve her beautiful finished pieces. From fun and funky to elegant, Judi's projects are a pleasure to watch--and make.

I also love Judi's bloopers...her sense of humor is infectious!!!

As always, PageSage provides much more than a standard instructional DVD. Each one is a private class that you can take at your leisure...over and over again!
