| Card Crafting Over 45 Ideas for Making Greeting Cards and Stationery, Gillian Souter, Sterling Pub Co, 1993, hardcover, 120pp incl index.
Making handmade cards has been popular for years, because there's something very special about them that money can't buy.
Here's a good beginners manual for making your own special cards, gift tags, and stationery, from the making of the paper itself on up to the finishing touches.
Various techniques are shown and illustrated - basic scoring, cutting, mounting, making multiple copies, making envelopes, doing basic calligraphy, and more.
A great number of ways to embellish your cards -- cut-outs, paper applique, weaving, paper sculpture, painting, printing and stenciling, needlecraft, incorporating photo images, and quilling. A final chapter offers ways to include your kids in the endeavor, using very easy-to-make but attractive designs.
Lots of illustrations -- both hand-drawn and in color photographs, step-by-step instructions, and templates and charts to copy and use directly or re-size to your liking.
Laminated hardcovers may be wiped clean.
In excellent condition, clean and intact.
