title: Pushing The Envelope: Crafty Packaging for Cards of All Kinds
author:  Marthe Le Van 
description: There are plenty of books on making greeting cards, but few pay attention to the envelope that holds the missive. That makes this unique. Although most of the designs are too decorative to actually mail, they make delightful packaging for a host of special-occasion notes. Following information on stocking a crafters toolbox and guidelines for envelope folding come instructions for 36 projects contributed by 20 different designers. Quick, mostly easy, and very clever, the ideas make the most of plain old paper but also venture beyond the expected to incorporate lace, buttons, fabric, old books, maps, and lots more to give envelopes a whole new look. Paper crafters looking for something new to try will have loads of fun. --Stephanie Zvirin
