Fransie Snyman ; photographer Kenneth Irvine ; translator Amanda Taljaard

over 50 templates and hundreds of variations

Filled with ideas for cardmakers of all levels and especially useful when you just don't know where to start, this fabulous collection of templates will simplify the process of creating beautiful cards. There is information on colour, composition and balance, and the easy-to-use templates will provide you with a basic design so that you can focus your creativity on selecting and combining the different elements. Each template comes with information on the proportions, placement and sizes of the different elements, so you can use your existing stock of paper and embellishments to create cards that you know will be well balanced and visually pleasing. All of the templates can be flipped, inverted and rotated, and the designs include standard, square, oblong and large cards in both vertical and horizontal orientation. For each template there are several examples of cards made by different cardmakers, providing you with numerous ideas for your own card designs. This book encourages you to think out of the box and use embellishments and paper combinations in ways that you have never thought of before
