something different, something FUN!, September 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Gift Wrapping & Greeting Cards (Hardcover)
This book is full of fun paper projects.....something for novices to the more experienced "paper artist". All kinds of media are used....tin cans, plant material, fabric. There are projects for different holidays, as well as unique ideas for decorating, packaging, and wrapping hand-made or purchased gifts. Instructions are clear, with lots of diagrams and how-to's. If you are an expert paper artist, you probably have seen many of these ideas before, but for the rest of us....it's a book full of "goodies"!

Much better than most paper crafts books, August 24, 2001
This review is from: Gift Wrapping & Greeting Cards (Hardcover)
Very complete. I loved the many templates of different shaped boxes - from hearts, hexagons to flat boxes and more. The techniques - block printing, wax rubbing, etc were explained step-by-step with pictures for each step. Lots of good pop-up ideas also shown clearly. I'm sure I'll use these ideas for many cards and packages. One material was not entirely clear to me (sugar paper) but I could easily subsitute any thick paper, I think. Well worth it if you like to make your own cards!
