A New Publishing Project – Card. Paper. Ribbon. Woo-Hoo!

I’m thrilled to announce a brand-new ebook today! And what’s even cooler is, I worked on this one as an editor and publisher. The author is the multi-talented Kristin Roach, from Craft Leftovers.

The ebook is called Card. Paper. Ribbon. It deals with one of those wonderful niche topics that are hard to find in print books – the idea being: when we give gifts, we end up with waste. Wadded up wrapping paper, kinked and curled ribbon, and used greeting cards. You know the stuff.

So, do we throw these leftovers away? No! We can craft with them.

In Card. Paper. Ribbon, Kristin came up with the coolest set of projects to repurpose gift-giving waste:

• Old greeting cards can be turned into handmade paper, and then bound into journals.

• Wadded-up wrapping paper can be fused to cloth, and then sewn into wallets and bags.

• Curled and kinked ribbon can be added to yarn to create sturdy knit baskets and crocheted bags.

Kristin has packed these pages with clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions. It’s been a total pleasure working with her on this project.

…And we’ve been working on this project since October, so today is especially exciting for us. Link on over and check it out, won’t you?

Updated to add: By the way, if you buy a copy of this ebook before Friday, February 12th, you’ll also be entered to win one of three Deco Art paint sets! Deets are on Kristin’s blog.
