Papercrafts For Christmas

Papercrafts for Christmas covers many different techniques. These include stitching on paper, silk and glass painting, metal embossing plus a wide range of rubber stamping techniques. Many of the techniques and projects are interchangeable and this gives readers an almost endless number of project variations. All of the techniques used are suitable for beginner crafters and are explained in full. The clear images that accompany each step will help even a complete beginner undertake the projects in the book.

Papercrafts for Christmas and Rubber Stamping

While rubber stamping is used in some of the projects, stamping is just one of many techniques used in Papercrafts for Christmas. What makes this book particularly exciting for stampers, however, is how rubber stamping could be incorporated into many of the projects. The projects that use outline stickers, for instance, could also be completed using rubber stamped images. Any project that uses decorative papers could be completed with hand-stamped papers for a truly individual look. This gives rubber stampers the opportunity to develop the projects shown and create a wide range of unique projects.

 

One of the first things that I thought when looking at Papercrafts for Christmas, is that while some of the projects are obviously Christmassy in nature, there are many others that could be adapted to other occasions. A lot of the techniques used to make the cards, for instance, could be used to create cards for any occasion. Likewise some of the gift bag and box projects would make lovely wedding or party favors for celebrations all year round. As well as being a great source of Christmas projects, Papercrafts for Christmas would provide a source of inspiration for project ideas for many different holidays and celebrations.
