You settled for the store-bought boxed variety last year, but wouldn’t it be nice to send out beautiful, handmade cards to your loved ones this holiday season? If you start early and make cards that are as simple to whip up as the ones you’ll find here, you can easily do it! From the popular Quick & Clever card series come 75 holiday-themed cards and 25 gift tags that look amazing but are easy to make—step-by-step photos and simple instructions make sure of it. You’ll use a variety of techniques to create lovely effects, from whimsically rubber stamped hedgehogs that have been colored in with a diluted felt-tip pen for a soft, watercolor effect to elegant gold bells that have been rubbed onto cream-colored stock. Peppered throughout with “Quick & Clever” tip boxes, this collection makes it possible to send out professional-looking handmade cards to everyone. Softcover, 112 pages, 8½" x 11"
