Designer Cards & Tags with K & Company

By Tracey Niehues

K & Company is one of the most recognized names in scrapbooking and paper crafts-and Tracy Niehues is one of its top designers. This follow-up to the company's successful Designer Scrapbook bestseller reaches out to the novice with both traditional and exciting new card and tag ideas for all occasions. On every page there's something special to offer congratulations, wish happy birthday, celebrate a holiday, give thanks, or just say "I'm thinking of you." The invitations, favors, cardholders, bi-fold and tri-fold cards, and other designs use unique materials that range from Plexiglas tiles to tin and fabrics. The Girlfriend Card, for example, includes a round copper frame, as well as ribbons and flower trim-all on vintage floral embossed paper. It, and every other pattern, is absolutely beautiful. ?

Tag and Card Ideas to Get You Started

Lots of ideas! The book shows all types of cards and tags using collage effects. Scrapbookers and altered book artists will have a head start with their supplies to make many of these. It makes use of all sorts of bits and pieces (cardstock, beads, stickers, decorated paper, buttons, text from books, etc.). Each example includes a full page picture in color, and a page listing materials and step-by-step instructions to create the card or tag. There are all occasions, like birthdays, halloween, winter, love, new baby, thanks, etc. It will keep me busy a long time trying out the different techniques and ideas.
