Paper Bouquet: Using Paper Punches to Create Beautiful Flowers Paperback – 1 July 2008

So clear to understand. What to use for what & she is a great writer. I had some of the punches I had gotten from Punch Bunch. I would like to get others....expensive to ship as they are heavy. Cutting dies would be great

Excellent book

This is a wonderful craft "instruction" book to be used with your paper punches. If you aren't interested in purchasing the punches, this book will have little value to you. (Buying this book without the punches is sort of like buying a car repair book when you don't want to own a car.) I hesitated buying this book due to the comments about problems finding the punches, but I'm glad I made the purchase! The flowers are gorgeous and the instructions are very clear. The author has an earlier booklet, titled "The Paper Garden", not currently available on Amazon but still available. The earlier book is written for The Punch Bunch as instructions for using their brand of punches  Ash Leaf Small Paper Punch . This new book is published by a craft book publisher, so the author is careful to no longer promote one brand of punch. However, you can easily do a little research to find these punches online or at independent scrapbooking craft stores. They don't seem to be available in the big box chain craft stores, though other punch manufacturers now make similar punches. It is true that, like all craft projects, you can quickly spend money gathering the necessary supplies, though one online source has a bundle price for all the punches. This is a fantastic book full of detailed instructions and many color photos to teach you how to make these flowers. Ash Leaf Small Paper Punch

全文、英語でした。型紙の作成図があったので少しは理解が付きました。

This is a most amazing book. The beautiful flowers can be made easily and the instructions are clear with detailed pictures to help you. The only problem I found is that most of the punches used are by an American Compnay called Punch Bunch and are not supplied by any company in the U.K. You can however find alternatives to most of the punches from Woodware, Leone Em, Carl etc. but there are some flowers I have not been able to make because I cannot find the necessary punches in the U.K. However this is still a brilliant and inspiring book and I would highly recommend it to anyone.ADDED12th August, 2010I have just found an English company selling the Punch Bunch punches - at last. They are called The Craftz Boutique and have a web site. They are going to stock all the punches to make the flowers in this book.ADDED27TH FEBRUARY,2011Joanna Sheen has just started stocking the punches for this book. Type her name on a search engine and you will get to her web site.
