There are old favorites such as rubber stamping and embroidery, Dutch newcomers such as Lacé, iris folding and teabag folding, and less obvious methods like polymer clay and metalwork. Each section is taken from Search Press' hugely popular Cardmaking series, and gives you the basics about the craft, tells you what you need and gives you usually two projects and a gallery. Useful for a complete beginner (and easy enough to follow), it is just as useful for people who have done a few of the methods and want to have a go at the others. Knowing what you need to obtain is a huge help, particularly in deciding whether a certain method is for you. This book is not a substitute for these other titles as it does not give each book in full, but at £12.99/$25.99 it certainly gives a taster for not all that much outlay. I wish it had been available when I took up paper crafts! A very user-friendly primer that has something to say to all most card makers as well as beginners.
