Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
With her trademark wild hues and bold graphics, "the head cheerleader of rubber stamping" (as she's been hailed) has filled a very colorful book with loads of innovative techniques. No surface is immune to her irrepressible stamping enthusiasm: in addition to paper, she stamps on glass, wood, walls, doors, fabric, and home accessories; she even uses glossy adhesive paper to create unique stamp stickers. Even experienced stampers can learn a few tricks: creating landscape imagery or "wallpaper" backgrounds; achieving airbrush and watercolor effects; using rubber-cement resist techniques; making dimensional pop-up greeting cards; as well as spattering, sponging, and texturing. Gruenig's colors are so vivid and her designs so eye-catching that it's hard not to feel cheerful just looking at them. --Amy Handy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
“The author...knows how to cram a book full of enticing color photos of more art projects based on rubber stamp designs than could easily be imagined....Her ideas extend well beyond repetitive designs....A colorfully-illustrated and lively art activity resource for the discerning teacher.” —SchoolArts.

3.0 out of 5 stars not too great, May 23, 1998
By A Customer
This was the first book I bought on stamping, and it almost turned me off to the craft. There is little guidance and no step by step instruction in this book. I still have no idea how to get the looks achieved in the book. As a beginner, I cannot recommend this book- I suppose the advanced stampers out there can glean some ideas from the book, but as a beginner, I'm totally lost as to completing the projects in this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for examples and little else., February 3, 2000
By A Customer
If you want pictures of stamp art this is a good source. If you want a book to teach you technique and expand you're stamping ability, don't waste you're money here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yikes - REALLY BOLD!, September 27, 2000
By A Customer
If you like REALLY BOLD colors and patterns then this would be a book for you, but most people will find it much too harsh I think. The book is primarily brayer techniques that seem like they are designs of 2 decades ago (in color and style). There are some good tips to learn from the book, but the design style put me off so much that I found I didn't want to read it much. I'd say keep looking for other stamping books instead of this one.
