Reviews , women / March 28, 2019

I love the book:  Making Your Own Greeting Cards & Gift Wrap, which I received from Fox Chapel Publishing.  It’s a great book, with holidays covered, as well.  I’ve been working on some Easter Cards, and have had the help of this book.  All of the Holiday stuff is really gorgeous, especially for this time of year. Great Things about this book: 50 exciting projects for a wide range of beautiful and fun cards, boxes, bags, wraps, and pouches Each project includes step-by-step illustrations and beautiful color photographs of the finished pieces Includes advice on choosing materials and decorative items to make the most of your cards Has handy templates to assist in both the card and gift wrap-making process Practical instructions guide you through all the techniques used throughout the book Inspirational galleries illustrate how one design motif or tool can be used to create a variety of different results The step-by-step guides are great.  Even someone that doesn’t do crafts often, like myself, would be able to do these items.  They make it so simple, and even have pages in the back with guides to making some of the projects.  Like there’s an oval, for an Easter Egg….
