This is a beautifully presented book with bright, step-by-step photographs that show implicitly how to accomplish the final project. This book will inspire you to create beyond the projects in this book... and you learn more than just making greeting cards.

There is a brief and to-the-point tutorial on how to make your own paper, and you're shown effective ways to make envelopes and photo mailers as well. Instructions on how to use materials properly and introductions to techniques on making potato stamps and more.

Not only will this be an inspiration to the crafty person, but it can also give you a springboard for ideas in self-promotion items for packaging, marketing and advertising. Excellent book.

Lisa Kerr's, The Paper Card Book, is a colorful, pictoral resource for anyone interested in making cards, envelopes, mailers, and homemade paper. She presents those needed pictoral how-tos, material lists for each project, tips/suggestions, with the finale of finding an interesting selection of paper samples at the end of the book. The ideas presented are appropriate for stamping and other card making techniques, and would be an appropriate gift for a beginning stamper, an individual who is new to card making, or for a library reference.
