Book Description

April 1, 2006
There's something undeniably heartwarming in the old-fashioned and thoughtful gesture of creating and sending a personal note, a romantic card, or a handwritten thank you.

For readers who like receiving such notes as well as sending them, this book is for you. It offers more than 100 unique ideas for creating personalized stationery featuring traditional media, such as using stamps, paint, punches, needle and thread, as well as using the computer to generate monograms, borders and trims, clip art, photographs, and much more.

The stationery examples are simple, yet elegant, and feature a beautiful, fun, and sophisticated range of styles that appeal to everyone, not just skilled crafters. Designs can be made quickly, and can be executed assembly-line style, so that it's easy to make 10 or 20 sheets in one sitting. Most of all, the graceful handcrafted designs will delight the receiver.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, July 2, 2006
This review is from: 100 Ideas for Stationery, Cards, and Invitations: Simple and Stylish Projects Using Handmade and Digital Techniques (Paperback)
This book is very basic with many of the cards looking homemade rather than hand crafted.

I use my computer alongside traditional crafting techniques and was hoping for some original and inspiring ideas. I was dissapointed.

Looking for the plus points. There are some ideas that could be used to a good effect when working with children. Theres a nice envelope design and a clever idea working with fresh flowers.

The idea for the book is excellent however I am afraid I feel it has missed the mark. Sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars clever & crafty card ideas, September 21, 2006

Andrella "craftyandy" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Ideas for Stationery, Cards, and Invitations: Simple and Stylish Projects Using Handmade and Digital Techniques (Paperback)
This book had some lovely and unique ideas for stationary and invitations that would be adaptable to most any situation. Some of the ideas are very clever, like the Go Ahead, Pull My Tongue Stationary, in which you pull out a cute dog's tongue to read a message. Others are elegant, and some are just plain fun. There are a projects for the novice, and also for the experienced crafter. Some of the cards use computer graphics and templates, but they can all be downloaded for free. I would definately recommend this book!
