What better way to share good wishes than by sending a beautifully crafted, handmade card? This inspiring book makes creating your own handmade designs easy, affordable, and deeply rewarding.

WINNER OF THE 2023 CREATIVE BOOK AWARD FOR PAPERCRAFT

Research shows that people have a much stronger emotional connection to handwritten cards than to texts or emails.

In this practical and insightful book, you’ll discover 10 visually exciting and easy-to-follow card-making projects from professional card designers.

Each one teaches you a different style and technique, from silkscreen printing and textile foiling to letterpress and stitched motifs.

Clear and inspiring step-by-step instructions guide you effortlessly through every stage.

Accompanied by a wealth of beautiful photography, the artists offer a colourful behind-the-scenes glimpse into their studios and practice, plus tips and tricks to help you achieve a professional finish.

There’s also insider information on how to sell and license your card designs commercially, for anyone keen to take card-making to the next level.

Sarah Hamilton is an artist and designer based in South London, whose work is inspired by colour, nature and midcentury design. She began her career as an artist handprinting greetings cards for Paperchase, The Conran Shop and Habitat, and cards are still a significant part of her practice. In 2014 she started the Just a Card campaign to support independent artists and retailers, after seeing yet another small gallery close down. Its message is that even the smallest sale plays a huge part in keeping independent design businesses afloat.
