Synopsis

Create an individual greetings card for any occasion whether it be a birthday, anniversary, wedding, driver's test, newborn baby, new home, or get-well-soon card from one of the ingenious designs in this fantastic new collection. Taking the three most popular and easiest techniques, these quick and colourful cards are made from using stamps, stencils and stickers combined with an amazing array of printed coloured papers. Inventive designs with stamps include using embossing powder, making two-colour images and creating repeat motifs. Stickers are used as the main card design enhanced with decorative paper collages and stencils are used to make decorative borders and designs. Whether used singly or in combination, these simple ingredients make stunning card designs achievable by anyone without prior card making skills. Each of the 36 card designs has a photograph of the finished project as well as clear step-by-step photographs and detailed instructions, making this a straightforward and easy-to-use practical craft book. In addition, there is detailed information on tools, materials and techniques, as well as useful hints and tips throughout.
