retro a go-go

so i totally dig the retro inspired ideas in this book. they have tons of stamping ideas and lots of invitation and card ideas. more of a card book that a scrapbook idea book but it does have a few scrapbook pages. directions are easy to follow.

Great for retro ideas

I bought this book because I plan to create retro-themed wedding invitations. It provides lots of ideas on how to combine different types of retro paper and stamps. The designs are flexible enough so that you can use your own papers and stamps--no need to follow the book to the letter. The cards are fairly simple, but even an expert cardmaker could use the paper/stamp combinations shown here to create more intricate cards. Resources for paper, stamps, and supplies are given in the back of the book, as well as templates for various cut-out elements.
