Review:

The oriental look is a growing trend in card making so be ahead of the crowd and get inspiration from this nifty little book. It's full of beautiful oriental projects, for all levels of expertise, so you can pick how challenging you want things to be! There's lots of useful step-by-step guides to illustrate the projects, plus templates at the back. We love that after each card, there's a fascinating bit of cultural trivia so you can impress your friends with your knowledge as well as your card making! --Papercraft Inspirations, Jan 08

Oriental influences are everywhere (we even had them on our cover cake in the May issue). This book shows you how to use glass painting, stickers, beads, embossing, origami, spirelli, punches and collage to create many delightful cards with an Eastern flavour. --Cake Craft & Decoration, July 08
