These elegant cards--conceived by the biggest names in crafting, such as Lynn Whipple, Claudine Hellmuth, Terry Taylor, and Akiko Sugiyama--use many of the popular "altered book" techniques, and the results are exquisite. In the same amount of time as it would take you to scan the racks for something mass-produced and impersonal, you can create these superbly designed, individualized 3-D and pop-up cards; photocopied, collaged, stenciled, and stamped ones; papers that have been stitched, embossed, woven, and cut; and projects incorporating fabulous folds and fasteners. There are even ideas about coordinating accompanying envelopes. And all the cards include many imaginative variations that will prompt crafters to explore the techniques in greater depth.

Attractive, spacious design with plenty of white space and crisp, full-color photos makes a fine background for this collection of 60 make-it-yourself cards, invitations, and tags. Twenty contributors, most of whom make their living as mixed-media artists, added their ideas to the collection, and their art backgrounds show clearly in the projects' decorative touches and sophisticated combinations of design, pattern, and color. Some of the most interesting cards incorporate hand-stitched or three-dimensional details. A helpful discussion about materials and techniques opens the book, but many crafters will go right to the projects, which are presented with lists of materials and tools, step-by-step instructions, and a large photo of the finished item. "Artful" is the perfect description of the contents here. Stephanie Zvirin
