AWESOME book for card making

**homesteadmamma** · 01-03-2009, 03:11 PM

Dd and I love making cards. I picked this book up at the library and it's definitely now on my "wants" list.

The Encyclopedia of Greeting Card Tools & Techniques by Susan Pickering Rothamel.

It has a wealth of information in it, along with a topic on every letter of the alphabet. It also has all the holidays around the world and quotes and sentiments for the following:

Valentine's Day
Chinese New Year
St. Patrick's Day
Passover
Easter
Earth Day
Cinco De Mayo
Mother's Day
Father's Day
Independance Day
Halloween
Thanksgiving
Winter
Chanukkah
Christmas
Angels
Love & Wedding

and more.....

It's a 2008 book and one I am definitely going to purchase. I'll wait until I can get a 50% off coupon at Michael's.

I need a book like that. I will have to check and see if the library has it so I can look it over. Thanks.

Amazon.com has it for sale for as low as $9.86 (+ $3.99 s/h) for a very good used copy. Also saw a new copy for $10 something.

Thanks Madhen, however I don't have cc. For anyone else wanting to get it, it is well worth the price Amazon is asking. It has a wealth of info in it.

I have a debit card tied to my bank account, so I use that as my "credit card." Just checked and they don't take checks or money orders. Bummer.

It was also on eBay, however, for $10.85 for a new copy. So you could probably use MO or PayPal for it there.

I'm not sure. I'll check that out.

I just checked out Amazon. I have to go through Amazon.ca The price in Canada new is $26.95, through Amazon $17.78 If I wait for a 50% coupon at Michael's I can get it for less through them. Thanks for telling me about Amazon though. I don't normally check there.
