Product Overview

How much effort is necessary to create your own greeting cards? According to Wisconsin graphic designer Gorder, the answer is "very minimal." She doesn't advocate learning calligraphy--other options such as transferring and stenciling work just as well. Nor is a mastery of drawing mandatory; plenty of existing images, easy-to-use rubber-sponge stamps, and photographs made new by means of color copies can be used. For instance, photographs are framed with gold leaf and then distributed to friends and relatives to give them an idea about vacation fun. And beads glued at strategic places give once-plain paper butterflies a new gleam on life. Every design includes open and folded sizes, icons symbolizing techniques used, step-by-step directions, color photographs, and templates (when needed).
