With the holiday season fast approaching, several titles may be just right for gift-giving. Handmade Cards: Simple Designs for Beautiful Cards by Anne Akers Johnson teaches readers how to make and provides the materials for an array of cards and envelopes. Readers learn the basics before moving on to photo easel and pop-up cards. For the adventurous, there's even an ""Itty-bitty Box"" that opens into a card. The paperback book is affixed to a sturdy melon green portfolio, secured with a matching elastic band, that contains 22 sheets of paper, reusable templates and helpful tools.
