Recognized as the woman who invented the first sticker and subsequently pioneered the entire sticker industry, Andrea Grossman founded Mrs. Grossman's Paper Company more than twenty-five years ago with rolls of red heart stickers and launched a specialized crafts industry that has now gained popularity world wide. Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Magic, by Andrea Grossman and Leslie C. Carola is a superbly illustrated and presented guide to sticker art and the creative world of sticker decoration. Introducing readers to the fun and active art of sticker production, Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Magic offers readers such fun sticker projects as the Star Folding Album; Classic Flourish Gatefold Card; the Torn, Folded Vellum; and the Pup Fabric Frame. A simply outstanding showcase collection of remarkably entertaining activities. Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Magic is very highly recommended for artistic hobbyists, and most particularly for sticker enthusiasts.

I have been using Mrs. Grossman's stickers for many years but this book inspired me. I have made several cards, since buying this book, and everyone has been very happy and amazed that it was a handmade card. The explanations/how-to are clear and concise and if you purchase it new, you get stickers in the back of the book--- always a plus!

I just love this book. It's beautifully illustrated and includes all the templates which you can use as is or adapt for yours own creative ideas. The template for pop-up cards is one I plan to use frequently.

I used to think sticker art was pretty kitschy, but no more. There are some really elegant projects included like beautiful Asian boxes with rolled paper bead embellishments.

My kids and I love this book. We have used it for so many fun projects. Would recommend it to everyone.

Don't be fooled by the different cover design of this book. If you own the other Mrs. Grossman Sticker Magic-it is the same book. I was extremely disappointed to find that when I ordered the book, it was the same one I already owned. I was fooled by the different cover design. I could have spent my money on something else. I was looking forward to new ideas for my layouts. Bummer!
