What a great book!,

This review is from: Color Your Scrapbook Punch Art: Fun and Easy Ways to Add Realistic Detail! (Memory Makers) (Paperback)
After reading the other review of this book, I hesitated to buy it. However, my sister recommended it, so I took a chance and I'm so glad I did! I consider myself a knowledgeable paper crafter but I learned several good hints for using punches that I had not heard before on the first few pages I read. I have a drawers full of punches and I used them occasionally but I hadn't realized their potential until I saw this book. There are techniques that show how to turn simple punched shapes into works of art. Almost every sample amazed me with the creativity of the artists. I found the instructions clear and easy to follow, even for someone who can't draw.
While it's true this book is geared toward making scrapbook pages and that is something I do infrequently, these techniques can easily be applied to card making and other paper crafts. The ideas can be adapted to die cuts as well. I know that this book will not only help me get more and better use of my punches and die cuts but it will also improve the quality of my designs!

This review is from: Color Your Scrapbook Punch Art: Fun and Easy Ways to Add Realistic Detail! (Memory Makers) (Paperback)
This book has great photos of scrapbook layouts & the use of punch art in the layout, BUT.. the detail photos of the actual coloring of your punch art are only about the size of a quarter. I bought the book to see how to color my punch art & use it in various applications. The images are so small it makes it difficult to see where color was applied & how. The written descriptions are very brief & deal mostly with laying out the scrapbook page & not with the actual coloring steps used. I was disappointed. I expected more emphasis on the coloring of the punched items. A beter title might have been "Scapbook Layouts with Punch Art".

I don't consider myself an artist, I am simply a crafter. As such, I welcome books such as this that illustrate other ways to use supplies I already have to great advantage. You don't necessarily have to have the exact punches that the author used, but you can use the punches you do own in new and different ways you might not have thought of. Until I saw this book, I didn't realize their full potential. I've learned to layer punched out shapes, as well as shade them, cut them to create different forms, combine them with other materials, and make simple or complicated arrangements or combinations using punched shapes.
I've also gotten extra mileage out of craft supplies I had gotten bored with or didn't know how to use up (not just punches--chalks, markers, left-over papers). I also got good ideas for cards and scrapbook pages that don't involve going out and buying expensive dimensional stickers. As a matter of fact, for once, a book didn't require going out to buy anything I didn't already have. All in all, I've really gotten my money's worth out of this book and I think you will, too.
