Making Greeting Cards with Rubber Stamps
Rubber-stamp art is a continually expanding craft, with thousands of stamps now available for purchase, along with new inks, pens, and embossing powders for coloring. Haysom's projects, including stationery, fabrics, and furniture decoration, have well-illustrated, step-by-step instructions. McGraw concentrates on decorating techniques such as cutouts and embellishments for use on handmade cards. Both books have introductory chapters on materials and equipment, care of rubber stamps, and so on. Although not as sophisticated as Stewart and Sally Walton's Stamp Magic: Inspired Effects with the Easiest New Decorating Technique (LJ 11/1/95), these are very practical guides to a popular topic.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
