Product Description
These elegant cards--conceived by the biggest names in crafting, such as Lynn Whipple, Claudine Hellmuth, Terry Taylor, and Akiko Sugiyama--use many of the popular "altered book" techniques, and the results are exquisite. In the same amount of time as it would take you to scan the racks for something mass-produced and impersonal, you can create these superbly designed, individualized 3-D and pop-up cards; photocopied, collaged, stenciled, and stamped ones; papers that have been stitched, embossed, woven, and cut; and projects incorporating fabulous folds and fasteners. There are even ideas about coordinating accompanying envelopes. And all the cards include many imaginative variations that will prompt crafters to explore the techniques in greater depth.

Just purchased this book today and am amazed at how many great project ideas are in this book. Photographs of the projects are lovely and directions are pretty simple. I'm looking forward to sharing it with my rubber stamping friends!

Not a book for a beginning card maker

I was disappointed in this book, and subsequently returned it, because it required many expensive scrapbooking items in order to make the cards pictured. A beginner would literally spend well over a hundred dollars for materials just to get started, not to mention the hours needed to complete each card. Perhaps an advanced card maker with supplies on hand would not be as disappointed. Also, I found the cards to be too "artsy" for my taste. There was only one card design of interest to me.
