This review is from: Stamp with Style: More Than 50 Creative Cards and Projects (Paperback)

I recently started stamping cards and was so happy to have this book as one of the first in my library!! I loved the unique, classy designs - easy and fun to do!! The step by step instructions are great and the color pictures are very helpful. I shop at a local Impress store and love it! Each time I go in I have to control myself - they've got more great ideas in the store!!

The author Kathryn Perkins is also a co-owner of a rubber stamp store chain called Impress. I love her store! And I LOVE THIS BOOK! Her designs are very elegant, versatile, and beautiful. The instructions and pictures are clear, concise, and easy to follow. If you ever come to Washington State, visit one of her 4 stamp stores--they'll IMPRESS you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegance !, June 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stamp with Style: More Than 50 Creative Cards and Projects (Paperback)

I am quite impressed with the contents of this book! The ideas inspired me and motivated my creativity. I have done each project in this book within two days from receiving it! Once I started I could not stop! Very easy to understand and follow through to completion.

The author provides a complete listing of materials for each project. Well done color photographs of steps are included throughout the book. She also lists the companies where she purchased her supplies, in the back of the book.

An elegant way to present art!
