Handmade greetings cards are a joy to give and to receive, but they can be expensive to buy. "The Bumper Book of Greetings Cards and Gift-Wrap" reveals how to handcraft a wealth of stylish, original designs quickly, easily and at a fraction of the retail cost. Drawing on a range of techniques - including ever-popular stickers, rubber stamping and stencilling - the cards are made with an array of printed, coloured papers and novel craft materials. There is something for virtually every occasion. The book opens with a look at the materials and equipment required for cardmaking and provides a grounding in basic techniques. More than 80 projects follow, accompanied by step-by-step photographs and handy at-a-glance features, which explain how long the cards take to make and how they can be matched with gift-wrap. Bursting with ideas for beginners and expert crafters alike, the "Bumper Book of Greetings Cards and Gift-Wrap" is both practical and inspirational.
