by Heidi Borchers, Candace Liccione, Tiffany Windsor

With today’s wide selection of papers, there’s nothing you can’t create--even jewelry, like the gorgeous pendants, necklaces, and earrings in this remarkable collection. Mulberry paper, scrapbook paper, tissue paper, handmade paper, paper flowers: these very easy, very achievable projects use every type. The 40 pieces are divided into Zen inspiration, featuring works of stunning simplicity; Nature Inspiration, including a Golden Leaves Necklace and Earrings; Fabulously Feminine, with sweet touches such as foam board hearts and silk ribbons; and For the Girls, designed for pre-teens and teens. And on nearly every spread, there’s a special boxed “Paper Perfected” tip for successfully mastering such details as getting a smooth finish, using ultra-thick embossing powder, and painting on tissue paper.
