On My Bookshelf


Today's book is a compilation of ideas from PaperCrafts magazine called The Big Book of Holiday Paper Crafts. This isn't so much an instruction or technique book than a gallery of paper crafts--namely, handmade greeting cards (which is the basis of the PaperCrafts magazine).

Similar the to the magazine, the book provides photos of card fronts that are decorated with a variety of styles, ephemera, and techniques--the primary techniques being stamped and college images. There are sections for decorating, gift giving and wrapping with paper crafts.

This is a nice reference book for when you get stuck or are in a creative rut. The beauty of the book is that all cards are required to list the products that were used in each project so if you see something that you like it is very easy to track it down.

Simple decorations:
Cards, glass vase and ornaments
