Glorious Greetings

Every member of the family will enjoy making these special, customized greeting cards from readily available materials which can be found in all crafts and art supply stores. Techniques include stenciling, stamping, cutting, and embellishing, and easy-to-follow directions are given for making pop-up cards, adding ribbon and fabric inserts, and making fabric collages. Full color.

Collage it, print it, stitch it, stamp it, stencil it, glue it, fuse it--no longer need we be content with ordinary store-bought cards or even simple homemade ones. With relatively easy techniques and clear instructions and pictures, Glorious Greetings demonstrates more than 100 fun, colorful, and imaginative ways to design and create customized greeting cards for all occasions, using paper, paint, fabric, trimmings, cardboard, and a wide variety of found objects. Many of the cards are actually gifts in themselves (such as the wedding presentation that incorporates an audiocassette filled with good wishes from the family, or the potpourri keepsake complete with dried lavender and rose petals); all are worthy of being kept in a memento album or even framed.
