Flowers, cats, butterflies, heart patterns, and more can all be used to make the wonderful designs featured in this guide—all of which can be embellished with beads, stamped designs, craft stickers, and metallic, variegated, and silk threads. Crafters can simply cut out the template, follow the pattern, and wind colorful threads around the card shapes. Complete beginners and experienced crafters alike will be inspired by this innovative approach to card making.
