Handmade Hellos: Fresh Greeting Card Projects from First-Rate Crafters by Eunice and Sabrina Moyle published by Chronicle Books; Spi edition (September 1, 2008).

All the design blogs are talking about this super cute card making book by the Moyle sisters from Hello/Lucky Letterpress and with contributing designers such as Amy Karol, Egg Press, Pie Bird Press, The Small Object and Julianna Swaney and lots more…

The book is put together really well with cut and clear illustrations – if rather tiny, and lovely photography and design. The templates for the projects are included in an envelope in the back of the book (with missing templates available on the Chronicle website). The book is spiral bound – Chronicles signature craft book design – and I love it.

a-hoy

The projects themselves range from easy to make with kids and using materials on hand to complex multi-stage projects needing specialised equipment. The projects that really stood out for me were by designer Kate Sutton – I loved her two pop up designs – the pirate pop up card and the pop up birdie card.

So if you love cards and paper crafts this book is perfect for you.
