When I opened this book, I was sorely disappointed that there were few "step by step" instructions. But when I began reading it, I found that it answered almost all of my questions! This book is a comprehensive guide to rubber stamping. Both novice and intermediate stampers can benefit from the creative techniques described in this book. Michele goes through basic stamping materials and techniques as well a more advanced methods including the combination of rubber stamping with computer-generated artwork!

The only "minus" I would give the book is the lack of comprehensive illustrations. The adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" rings true here. While there is a color photo section of examples (and descriptions of each of the techniques applied to make those examples), I feel that the book would benefit from illustrations for each technique on the page describing the technique.

As a "novice" stamper, this book runs the gamut of basic techniques, to the advanced. It also give a lot of explanation of terms used in the craft, and helps to fill in the blanks. Of all the books and magazines I have relating to rubber stamp, this is the one I turn to most often.

This is first book I purchased - it lies flat so you can edit while working. Has precise instructions and basic but novel ideas it is a book you can pick up again and again and refresh your memory

Not to say that this author has, but I have seen the Dee G. vidoes before I bought this book and they seem almost identical. Every technique in this book I have seen first on the Dee vidoes. The only helpful advice that I got from this book was on managing my space. If you have seen the Dee videos, don't waste you money on this book.

This is a great book covering very basic to more advanced stamping techniques. Full of useful information. I refer to it quite often. I highly recommend it.

This is the first rubberstamping book I ever bought and it was definitely worth buying- it's a keeper! Full of ideas and complete explanations, it is very helpful. I would definitely recommend this book for stampers new to the art form, and even to those who've stamped for a while may get some great ideas.
