The magical quality of glittering, sparkling greetings cards is bought to life by Polly Pinder in another of her highly successful books in this popular series. Her imaginative designs are both achievable and inspirational, and will appeal to beginners as well as experienced card makers. This book shows how to create enchanting, glittery greetings cards using the wealth of glitter products that are now available. Holographic and fluorescent papers, glinting sequins and jewels, glitter glues, tinsel-like thread and sparkly pipe cleaners, as well as recycled materials such as discarded Christmas cards, gift wrap and sweet wrappings, can all be used to enhance handmade cards and give them a magical sparkle. The basic techniques used are very simple and are covered fully in the book, and the projects explain clearly, with full-colour photographs of every step, how to make six gorgeous cards, ranging from a shimmering red heart made from woven holographic paper strips, to a beautiful glittery balloon. No specialist equipment is needed.
