Layered Cards
Twenty To Make Series
by Joanna Sheen
One of the joys of making your own greetings cards is being able to make them look professional, but nothing like the
cards you can buy in shops. Layering them is one popular way of doing this, and creating a more opulent and handmade
card. This book shows you forty examples of making cards that really show you care.
One look at the Joanna Sheen website will show where you can buy most of the items shown in here, and many more.
But with this type of book it is the ideas that matter most, showing how you can achieve a layered look by not only
using paper tole techniques, but also by rubber stamping, peeloffs, pressed flowers and other embellishments to
create a collage appearance. The raised look is accomplished by use of those foam squares or tape, making a
"squidgy" card that is surprisingly robust and can be mailed. Diverse subjects include Christmas, Egyptian scenes,
Victoriana, floral studies, fairies, silhouettes, oriental and old photographs. This is a lovely book that can be
mined for arrangements and ideas or used to recreate the cards, however you wish.
