Encyclopedia of Greeting Cards Tools & Techniques / Susan Pickering Rothamel 304 p.

Susan Rothamel has written a peach of a book on card making.  From A to Z most every term used in card making is explained.  She has techniques and tips on a boat load of card making skills like embossing, accordion card folding, die cutting, glues, envelope making and quilling.  Samples abound illustrated the specific term or technique.  There is a history of card making (Hallmark came later into the greeting card world).  Featured artists along with their speciality are interspersed.  The back of the book includes holidays around the world as well a good grouping of quotes.   A good go-to book for getting a new concept.
