With a huge range of new papers, products and equipment available on the market today, paper crafts are growing ever more popular.

Over 50 exquisite projects, 2-D and 3-D alike, are revealed in step-by-step photography.

Tips, finishing touches, and professional's tricks make producing top-quality work easy, and the range of over 100 materials used offers ready-made creative inspiration.
With advice on choosing and buying tools, new or traditional papers, and what embellishments to use, ranging from scraps to sequins, each project showcases both contemporary and traditional techniques and materials. Try a torn vellum Valentine's card, richly layered with crepe, and homemade flower paper, with its own handcrafted sealed envelope, or for a modern gift create coasters in metallic paper with glitter beads.
