Handmade greeting cards are a joy to give and to receive, but they can be expensive to buy. 'The Bumper Book of Greeting Cards & Gift-Wrap' reveals how to handcraft a wealth of stylish, original designs quickly, easily and at a fraction of the retail cost.
Drawing on a range of techniques -- including ever-popular stickers, rubber stamping and stencilling -- the cards are made with an array of printed, coloured papers and novel craft materials. There is something for virtually every occasion. The book opens with a look at the materials and equipment required for cardmaking and provides a grounding in basic techniques.
More than 80 projects follow, accompanied by step-by-step photographs and handy at-a-glance features, which explain how long the cards take to make and how they can be matched with gift-wrap. Bursting with ideas for beginners and expert crafters alike, the 'Bumper Book of Greetings Cards & Gift-Wrap' is both practical and inspirational.
