About this title

From the Author:

Scrapbook Cards is my second book for David and Charles with "Surprisingly Simple Novelty Cards" being my first.

Like my first book, it was a complete joy to put together and, whether you are a card-maker, scrapbooker or paper-crafter, I feel confident that you will find lots of ideas and inspiration within the pages.

I begin with plenty of tips and ideas and, irrespective of your card making/scrapbooking experience, I am hopeful that there will be something in the first section for everyone.

Next I take you through a variety of card designs and show how to add photographs to create a "scrapbook card". I start with simple tall and square card formats then progressive on to variations that include extra folds, pockets and pop-ups. This section then concludes with an unusual zigzag card born from my love of novelty designs!

Still keeping to a smaller scale I move on to give instructions on how to create three very different mini albums. Finally I conclude with instructions on how to size and create two different envelopes or a box for your card/album plus ideas on how to transform your card designs in to scrapbook pages.

There are step by step instructions and throughout I have endeavoured to give you an insight in to my reasons for choosing particular papers, embellishments etc. At all times I was fully aware that your photos would be different to mine and therefore you may need to appreciate why I chose a particular colour etc.
