Paper Crafting with Carol Duvall

Many books purchased sight unseen turn out to be a disappointment. NOT THIS ONE! The book, itself, was in top-notch condition (read: practically brand new), and I received it even before the expected due date. (A+ for the sender!!) All the other views extolled the contents of this book, and they are not wrong. If you craft anything at all, this book is NOT TO BE MISSED!

If you love crafting especially with paper you will love this book. Carol Duval is one of the best in the business. I bought the book for a present and had to order a copy for myself. Her projects vary in difficulty but the instructions are super clear. If you love her show you will enjoy this book

If you are a card maker or love paper crafts, this is the BEST book for you!! I wish Carol was still doing her CRAFT SHOW! ALL KINDS OF IDEAS....

Paper Crafting With Carol Duvall is filled with original and innovative crafts for beginners and pros alike. There are practical and easy crafts such as making place mats and Picture Topped Shaker Boxes as well as more challenging crafts such as Jacob's Ladder Photo Holder to show off pictures and crafting skills with. Ever thought of turning a gift bag into a clock or creating a puzzle for your refrigerator out of an enlarged picture and magnets? Carol Duvall has. Duvall's book is filled with more than great crafts, it has her words of encouragement sprinkled throughout. For instance, when Carol Duvall introduces crafters to the Never-Ending Card, she says, "When Cherryl showed me this seemingly complicated card that you just keep unfolding , and then demonstrated to me how ridiculously easy it is to make--I couldn't believe it." Reading this crafting book feels like sitting down and making crafts with your best and most patient friend. Fans of the Carol Duvall show will be happy to know that also included in the book are some great craft ideas, "From the Shoe Box," like the Locking Letter. One needn't be familiar with Carol Duvall to enjoy her easy tone and can-do attitude towards making crafts. Armchair Interviews says: A crafter's delight.

I was very excited to finally find this book and I was not disappointed when I received it. For beginning paper crafters it has wonderful step-by-step illustrations. For more advanced crafters it also sparks creative ideas. I love it and so does my daughter.
