Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2000 | Series: Crafts Made Easy

Make sure your greeting card is the one that really catches the eye and takes the breath away! Any of these designs will stand out from the pack, thanks to original and clever techniques as varied as punched tin embellishments to painted foam decorations. And, even though these cards may look complicated, they really need only basic skills to complete. Wouldn't a child just love a birthday card with a cheery clown and cotton candy colored pom-poms? Nature lovers will cherish flora and fauna cards of handmade paper, raffia, twigs, and leaves. Add a dimension to your greetings with 3-D creations that have clear plastic windows with opening shutters; kittens, pots of flowers, vines, and filmy curtains are just some of the possible delightful additions. And, any occasion is right for giving a special someone miniature paintings on mosaic tiles or buttons. Each card is a beauty. A Selection of BOMC's Crafters Book Club.

This review is from: Greeting Cards Made Easy (Crafts Made Easy) (Hardcover)

Greeting Cards Made Easy offers ten projects ranging from simple to complex difficulties. The simple projects seem easy enough for a beginner, and the difficult projects do not seem interesting enough for an advanced crafter. The full color photos are fun to look at, and techniques and ideas can be learned from the book. The templates offered in the book can be used for numerous other things if you use your imagination. Overall, the book was just OK. Today's books offer more challenges, more choices for creativity and personalization, and a wider range of products.
