Reviews
A first-timer's contribution to the craft of greeting cards that is surprisingly elegant in its explanations and its design. Beaman starts quite literally from scratch, pictorially revealing the tools and materials to be used. The front of her book delves into 100 techniques, beginning with the how-tos of making card blanks and the art of fashioning envelopes to the more complicated embossing and metallic effects. Sidebars called "ideas and inspirations" are sprinkled throughout; each features a few design variations with occasional illustrations, like coordinating a card with the wrapping paper or drilling found items as card decorations. The second part is filled with 25 projects, elaborate and closely resembling the real store-bought item. Like a clever dinner-party invitation. Or a wonderfully white-on-white embossed birthday greeting with symbolic designs. A threat to Hallmark? Barbara Jacobs
