Электронная библиотека “Либрус” ( http://librus.ru )

Научно-техническая библиотека электронных книг. Первоначально задуманная
как хранилище компьютерной литературы, в настоящий момент библиотека
содержит книжные издания по различным областям знания (медицинские науки,
техника, гуманитарные науки, домашнее хозяйство, учебная литература и т.д.).
Серьезность научно-технических e-book'ов разбавляет раздел развлекательной
литературы (эротика, комиксы, задачи и головоломки).

Основной целью проекта является ознакомление читателей с многообразием
книгопечатной продукции и помощь в выборе действительно стоящей книги для
приобретения у законных издателей, их представителей или в соответствующих
организациях торговли. Для покупки через Internet мы рекомендуем
воспользоваться услугами интернет-магазина “Озон”.

Why Stamping?
In the past few years, the rubber stamping industry has boomed unlike no other art
or craft business. Crafters all over the world are using rubber stamps and the
abundance of associated stamping products to create beautiful cards, handmade
gifts, and one-of-a-kind pieces of art. It seemed only natural to apply these
wonderful products to home décor projects.
This book contains projects that you won’t see anywhere else. You’ll learn
fabulous, EASY ways to dress up your walls and furniture using specialized
techniques with a variety of stamps - rubber stamps, foam stamps, and even
stamps you can make yourself!
But why should you attempt to create these wall and furniture projects yourself,
rather than simply buying wallpaper or purchasing hand painted furniture? I have
four great reasons for you:
1.
Save Money!!! Each project is clearly labeled with the supplies
needed to complete the project. In just about every instance,
the total you’ll spend on supplies per project is much less than
what you would spend for premium wallpaper or a professional job.
You’ll get professional results for a fraction of the cost. And the
more projects you do, the more money you’ll save, since many
of the supplies are repeated from project to project.
2.
Save Time!!! My step-by-step instructions are designed
specifically for YOU, the busy home decorator who would
love nothing more than to decorate her home all day, but
doesn’t have much time.

I’ve given you lots of time-savers and quick-fix tips to help
you along your way...tips that other do-it-yourself books
don’t include. All to ensure that you’re producing top-quality work
in the minimum amount of time.
3.
Customize Your Home!!! By creating these special hand-stamped
finishes yourself, you’re creating one-of-a-kind items that you can’t
find ANYWHERE else. You can choose the colors, stamp designs,
textures, and styles that will make these items fit your décor perfectly.
This book is packed with resources (both retail stores and Web sites)
that will allow you to get a handle on all the stamping products and
designs you can choose from. You’ll be astonished at the variety!
4.
Enjoy yourself!!! When you can create a breathtaking finish
on the walls of an entire room quickly, easily, and inexpensively,
it’s really the perfect excuse for you to spend some quality
time with the most important person in your life -- YOU!
These projects offer you the opportunity to relax, listen to some nice
music, and let your creative spirit splash around a bit. And at the
end of it, not only will you feel more relaxed and connected with
your home, you’ll have FANTASTICALLY impressive results, to boot!
How does this book work?
This book starts out with a Stamping 101 section. While the individual projects
clearly walk you through each step of the project, I recommend you read
Stamping 101 first. It will give you a basic context for the different products you’ll
be using. And it is organized simply so that you can refer back to it as many times
as you need.
The bulk of this book is The Projects section, which contains over 150 great
ideas for your walls and furniture, organized into 15 specific projects. The first 2 are
basic stamping projects applied to actual rooms, so you can glimpse a real context
for basic stamping design.

The next 6 projects are variations of basic stamping that demonstrate how stamps
can be combined with paints and inks to create spectacular décor.
The final 7 utilize a variety of advanced stamping techniques and products, such as
embossing powders, pastes, enamels, gold leafing, and more! The techniques are
more involved , but with my easy instructions, they are no more difficult than the first
set. (Really!)
Each project starts off with a “Supplies Needed” list. In most cases, these
supplies are readily available at fabric, craft, home improvement stores, and on the
Internet. In some cases, you’ll need to visit a specialty rubber stamping store or
Web site to find the product you need.
To make it even easier for you, when possible, we’ve included over 200 links to over
150 product and manufacturer Web sites. These links are indicated in underlined
blue. When you see a product or manufacturer name in underlined blue, simply click
it and you’ll be taken right to the appropriate Web site.
In Appendix A, we’ve also included a list of rubber stamp specialty stores, organized
by state. Between the geographic list and the Internet sources, I’m confident you’ll
be able to find any supply item you need, quickly and easily.
After the “Supplies Needed” section, the next section is “The Steps”. The steps
are ordered sequentially, and are illustrated by photographs so that you can follow
along as you design and create.
It’s recommended that you read through the entire project steps before beginning
the project. This will give you a better idea of what you’re doing, from the get-go.
After The Projects, the final section is Beyond Rubber: Unique Techniques &
Designs for Making Your Own Stamps. While it is quicker to purchase stamps
ready-made, I really wanted you to have the information in this section, as well.
This section gives you everything you need to know to “take the next step” and
explore stamping in a highly personal way. Creating your own stamps is a great
way to personalize designs, and it’s a lot of fun, too!
