Customer Reviews

Excellent book for rubber stamping novices
I rarely take the time to write a review, but after purchasing this book, I had to take the time to do so because it really is one of the most comprehensive ones available for rubber stamping. I have examined at least twenty books on rubber stamping, and this one was definitely the best out of the entire bunch. Very useful information, good instructions and suggestions. The book is easy to use and categories are grouped together very well. As a new stamper, I was a bit overwhelmed by all the products available, and this book streamlines the information so well. Excellent ideas for you to be creative with as well!

The Rubber stamper's Bible by Francoise Read
This is VERY valuable for any stamper experienced as well as novice. I loved it and bought an extra book for a friends' birthday.
Concise explanation of different techniques, from bleaching, decoupage, understanding colour, masking, the use of different inks, powders, pencils etc, etc...
I know, that you would not regret buying this book. The details are followed up by excellent pictures. You would think I work for this company, but I am just a home stamper who teach cardmaking and cannot find enough praise for this book. Sincerely Linda

Keep it near your stamping table
After checking this book out from my local library, I decided I had to have my very own copy to refer to again and again. "The Rubber Stamper's Bible" is definitely like having your very own workshop right at your fingertips. Beginners and experienced stampers alike will find the book to be a resource for how-to advice and design tips. Beginners will love Reid's chart describing the various inkpads, which I keep on my desk, and the surfaces required for the best results, as well as the chapter called "Colour Workshop." More experienced crafters will find the technique-led projects inspiring and challenging. Read explains a project, such as masking, step-by-step. She starts with simple card, but also gives two or three more advanced examples at the end of each section.
