Embellishments for Paper Crafts: Ideas, Tips & Techniques, is a 128-page hard cover book which serves as an inspirational handbook for crafters who want to learn creative and modern tips on how to add style, dimension, texture and other unique effects to one’s scrapbook, cards or paper crafts. It offers bright and new ideas and embellishing materials incorporated in projects equipped with step-by-step instructions and full colored photographs. Projects are gathered from different parts of the US and were incorporated in this book. It specifically informs readers that embellishments are used to add color, texture, style, and influence or power to paper craft projects.
Basically, it is a book of explored paper crafts and artistic embellishments. Embellishing materials include: natural items, like leaves, flowers, seashell, pebbles, and sea glass; paper manipulated like corrugated, crimped, handmade, and vellum; fabric, like ribbon, fibers, yarn, thread, lace and rickrack; glass and plastic, like buttons, beads, glitter, geometric shapes; and metal, like grommets, brads, eyelets, charms and wires.
According to Leslie Conron Carola, the author of this book, the success of any paper craft project is a collaboration of the color scheme choice, balanced composition with a central point and outlook, and the additional embellishments.
The author of this book is a writer and producer of books in Westport CT, and already created more than a dozen of paper craft books.
