The Paper Card Book

Buying cards is boring, making cards is fun.

Card-crazy artist Lisa Kerr demonstrates how to make more than fifteen different card designs. Cards made with gift wrap, ticket stubs, and maps; cards that holds photos, mementos, and dried flowers; cards that fold-out, pop-up, and close with a button, are all featured plus many more designs. These cards are easy to make: just follow the step-by-step instructions shown in each chapter, or use the techniques to create designs of your own.

Boston-based author and artist Lisa Kerr has been making cards for more than fifteen years. In 1990, her one-time hobby developed into "Monolisa Worldwide", a successful business that creates cards, blank journals, and photo albums, and distributes them through gift stores in the U.S. and Europe. Kerr has traveled all over the world, gathering unique papers and techniques to use in her card-making. She currently teaches card-making in Boston, Massachusetts. This is her first book.
