Quick and Easy Handmade Cards

The projects throughout the book are designed to kick start your imagination and show you a variety of simple card-making styles and techniques. Straightforward collage, applique, needlepoint, rubber stamping, papercrafting to create 3-D effects, wire work, and decoupage - all techniques that can be easily achieved around the kitchen table in just a couple of hours. All the basic techniques that are used in the projects are explained in the Tips and Techniques section with easy-to-follow photographs showing you how to transfer templates, cut out shapes and stencils, and finish your cards, including making and decorating envelopes. There is also a section on which tools you will need and how to use them, plus an overview of the materials and tools that are required. Rights: UK & General Export
