The Crafter's Resource Book: Christmas: Festive Perforated Papers, Stickers and Designs - All in One Book!

Nov 07

If you want to make your own Christmas cards this year, scrapbook your memories or swap Artists' Trading Cards then this book is surely a must. There are 24 sheets of patterned papers, 8 sheets of stickers and 102 line drawings taken from the Design Source Books. Surely anybody is likely to make something with all that!

I like the way the patterned sheets all have helpful grids on the back which make cutting them for any project a breeze - metric and imperial too! Some of the papers have patterns a mite too large for cards, so are ideal for memory albums. There are some handsome tartan papers (and matching stickers) too, which are also ideal for New Year. The illustrations will need a little tweaking on the computer or photocopier before they are the right size for cards, but they are more aimed I feel at larger crafts. Make holiday wall hangings, tree skirts, decorate cakes, and embroider table runners and hostess aprons. Whatever you like in fact. As usual with Design Source Books you are allowed to use some of these illustrations on projects not only for yourself, but you need to read the small print to find out more. This does not cover the papers or stickers, but when you have finished with your own crafts you probably won't have any over to spare!

As usual, The Crafthouse Press and Search Press have come up with something special and very useful.
