Product Description

If you're ready to take your passion for rubber stamping to the next level and are looking for a new crafting challenge, try these innovative techniques-you'll use them again and again. They're easy to learn, yet produce sophisticated results on cards. Combining a brayered background with colored tissue paper or garden leaves can be spectacular, especially if you develop an attractive layout, color copy it, then stamp directly onto it. A resist method will have you working with embossing, markers, and dye ink. Or, fill in the open areas of your stamped image with dimensional products like colored glitter glue. With these exceptional ideas, you're only limited by your imagination. The author lives in Howell, NJ. 132 pages (all in color), 8 7/8 x 8 7/8. NEW IN PAPERBACK

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Rubber Stamping, May 5, 2000

By	Lea A Spickler (Sterling VA USA) - See all my reviews

A virtual feast for the eyes! Beautiful color photos of wonderful, inspiring samples abound within the pages of this book. Suze provides you with the basics of a technique rather than boring you with a step by step instructions on how to replicate her samples. I like that format because it allows her to provide you with information about many more techniques rather than wasting a lot of space with tedious instructions on how to make a specific card or project. Definitely a techniques book as opposed to a project type of book. This book was well worth the money. Two thumbs up! 3D-Lea

5.0 out of 5 stars Suze's newest a great hit!, May 18, 2000

By	Lori Larson (USA) - See all my reviews

Suze's new book is truly and inspiration to old and new stampers alike! The book is a feast for the eyes and imagination--the book is filled with older techniques with a new twist, along with some brand new ideas. Although I'm not one to buy stamping books (I prefer magazines)-the minute I saw this book I knew I had to have it. This is a must-have for any stamper who's been "in a rut" with their techniques. Thanks, Suze, for a wonderful product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Technique AND eye candy in one volume, March 27, 2001

By	Gwyneth Calvetti (West Salem, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Most rubber stamping books I've seen are one of two types; lots of beautiful samples, but little content to be of help to an inexperienced stamper, or good content instructionally with little to inspire. This book has ample amounts of both.

The basic information is presented in the beginning, explaining supplies and techiques. Each technique is clearly illustrated, with supply lists and step by step instructions. The techniques run from bleach stamping through various applications for thick embossing powder, to stamping on art metals, to various brayer techniques. A beautiful sample of each technique is shown in each set of instructions, sometimes more than one example. At the back of the book is a gallery of sorts, showing what several stamp artists have been able to achieve with the use of some of these techniques.

I did notice the missing steps mentioned by another reviewer, and would have liked the missing steps inserted somehow, as it is a technique I'd like to try sometime. Perhaps newer editions have corrected this mistake. Otherwise, whether Suze Weinberg actually created these techniques or not, I am appreciative of a book that has polished examples with clear instructions that even those like myself who are "stamping challenged" can aspire toward.
