Making Mini Cards, Gift Tags and Invitations

Mini-cards enchant the receiver—and the crafter—with sensuous colors, shapes, and textures, handmade papers, and adornments. Get out the yarns, cutters, pens, punches, and stencils. A huge section on decorative techniques teaches paper stretching; embossing; incorporating ribbon, inserts, and paint effects; and more. Many cards, bright and beautiful, feature richly layered flowers, bows, beads, lamination, and collage. Thirty-three projects in all, with tips on personalizing the cards.
