Papercrafting Genius!:
I received this book and immediately wanted to begin several of the projects. They seem very easy with readily available supplies. Carol is a genius and really enjoys paper crafting. I watch her show all the time and now am enjoying her book.
Helpful hints and details:
Shhh, this is being put up for my mom for Christmas. If I can give it up, that is. I am a crafter, but not much of a paper crafter. My mom is crafty with paper for her Sunday School kids, grandkids and just for fun....and she is a huge Carol Duvall fan. This arrived today slightly damaged (thanks a lot Amazon) so I was thumbing through it to be sure it was only the cover and corners that suffered superficial damage, not the contents. Now I am hooked! The clear, bright photos and easy to understand instructions are making me re-think the idea of avoiding paper crafts....also re-think the idea of giving away this book. It has templates for the projects such as gift boxes and envelopes. My favorite thing is that it mostly only calls for simple materials such as scrapbooking papers. You can make several beautiful projects without a huge monetary investment with elements and such that can quickly run into big bucks. These projects are also kid-friendly which will be perfect for my mom's 4th graders in Sunday School...and for my homeschool Craft Day gatherings, when I borrow this book back from Mom. And the damage: This book is not shrink wrapped. Putting it in a way too oversized box with no protection caused it to be banged back and forth in shipping and put a slight crease on the front cover and bumps on the outer corners. Does not hinder the use, but does take away from the beauty of the gift.
Perfect for cardmakers:
If you like to make cards at all, this is the perfect book for you. However, there are also other paper crafts like calendars, gift boxes, and little books. Several quick and cute gift and gift packaging ideas. Just like on the show, the best part is the shoebox quick ending.
Great ideas:
I got this book for help with paper projects. Although I am not a seasoned crafter - I could do these.
Carol's paper crafts are terrific.:
I am so glad I purchased this book. The layout is wonderful with excellent pictures of the crafts. The directions are clear and easy to follow. I am looking forward to making many of these projects.
