My name is Ann Craig - qualified and experienced art and craft teacher, and I can help you learn stamping and crafting techniques that will lead to lots of enjoyment, through creative experimentation in a variety of Rubber Stamping and Paper Crafting Techniques.

What about creating those individual, hand-made 3-D or Off-the-Page projects? You can make simple little bags from envelopes or you can construct gift boxes, containers and pretty purses from card stock.

Have you tried your hand at ATC's (Artist Trading Cards)?

Make multiples of these creative little cards, learn the etiquette for trading them and develop a new social network of creative friends who collect and trade ATC's.This is an example of my first ATC. It is titled "Hot Summer Garden". In the ATC section of the site you'll be exposed to many stamping techniques that work well, either alone or combined with various collage techniques. You'll find free layout ideas and ATC challenges that you can submit for publication on this site.

Rubber stamping gives you many options for truly individual results on these tiny collectables.

Are you searching for tips on how to use all those accessories, papers and ribbons stashed in the cupboard? Scrapbooking is a fun and delightful way of using them up. Scrapbooking is individual in style and you can use anything you wish on your pages, so search out all that stash and combine it with great stamps, card stock and buttons, brads, chipboard, etc. and you can create amazing scrap pages, mini, journals and unique decorator artwork. Rubber stamping on scrap pages gives you enormous creative scope to produce unique pages.

Browse the SCRAPBOOKING section to find loads of information about combining stamping with scrapping and all the fabulous techniques you already use. You'll discover a whole new dimension to your pages.

And.....

What about your STAMPS? You can't help but buy all the pretty stamps - they look so gorgeous. But... they sit in the cupboard waiting for later!

The RUBBER STAMPING section of my site is here to help motivate you.

Perhaps you haven't been taught how to use your stamps creatively, or you're a little unsure about techniques? Many of my friends and customers are amazed at how simple the techniques can be, even when they look complicated - so check out the free technique tutorials, gain confidence and knowledge in this area, and you will be creating what you previously thought were ADVANCED projects.

Even tho' I've been involved in art education for over 35 years - either formally or informally, I was never exposed to the art of rubber stamping. Give me water-colour paints, acrylics, silk painting inks, screenprinting equipment, lumps of clay, metal shim, etching equipment, all things fabric, and I would happily advise you how to use them- but stamping? No! Now just 3 years since I picked up my first stamp and I am teaching classes in stamping and scrapping, experimenting with new techniques, writing a web site about Rubber Stamping and earning an income while Working from Home.

Rubber stamping is most widely used for making GREETING CARDS. There are many occasions when a hand stamped card will have special meaning to the recipient. Cards can range in difficulty, time to create, and techniques used, but each one will have that special "I made it for you" tag that is invaluable and very meaningful.
