Designer Cards & Tags with Anna Griffin: Fabulous Projects Created with Style

By Anna Griffin

Book Overview

Award-winning designer Anna Griffin--whose Designer Scrapbook made a splash with crafters--now shares her fabulously creative ideas for making beautiful, personalized cards and gift tags. Anna Griffin has won acclaim for her elegant stationery, invitations, and decorative papers, and these unique and exquisite card and tag designs are as sumptuous as anything she has ever created. Every page showcases something magnificent, with techniques as wide-ranging as embossing and paper punching; suggestions on mixing and matching patterns in Anna's distinctive style; and advice on scoring, folding, and mitering corners so that your own cards look as professionally-made as store-bought ones. You'll even learn how to make your own envelopes and liners. The projects range from a pretty Woven-Heart Valentine to a charming Pocket Thank You card, from a Candy Cane Christmas Page to a vintage "It's a Boy!" announcement. Each one comes with detailed instructions and templates that eliminate all the guesswork.
