Cherry blossoms, forsythia, marigolds and petunias: Who would have imagined you could recreate such gorgeous blooms with just paper and craft punches? This accessible new craft will appeal to anyone with a creative bent and using her own original techniques, Susan Tierney Cockburn offers 40 beautiful flowers to make for decorating gifts and home decor. She teaches the simple basics, including paper manipulation, glueing and colouring, then presents her flowers as colourfully as they're found in nature. From Amaryllis to Zinnia, there's a bountiful bouquet of blooms to choose from! Photographs document every step and a visual template of the punches accompanies each flower. A dozen sample projects range from picture frames to wreaths.

I wish I had known...

I don't like to give negative feedback, but I wish that I had had some sort of customer feedback before I bought this book.
Let me start out by saying that there are some beautiful flowers in this book. From what I can see, the author does a good job of presenting each flower with good photos and detailed instructions . However, I was looking forward to receiving this book and "digging right in" - but that isn't going to happen! The author states "when I began creating paper flowers, I used simple craft punches..." - but there is only one or two of the 40 flowers in this book that use "simple craft punches". Unless you want to shape the petals and leaves yourself, (for the most part) - you have to buy the punches. And these are not simple punches that the author says are available in your local craft supply store. (I live in a city of 120,000+, and the craft stores here might carry one or two of the smaller punches used) These are elaborate punches that you will probably have to order over the internet-unless you live in a big city that has alot more specialty stores. AND, the author does not give the name of the company that makes the punches OR list the craft sources in her book. Instead, she says to "visit us at www.larkbooks.com" - which I tried. She leads you to believe ordering the punches from this website is a breeze - but I got so frustrated trying to find any mention of them there, that I eventually gave up. I did find some "mega-punches" on another website that looked like some of the ones in her book, and they were $26.99 each. Just a bit beyond what I'm willing to pay for a single punch.
Another thing that bothered me about the book is that there is NO REFERENCE to the SIZE of the flowers. She uses terms like "mini, small, medium, large, super giant and mega" - but no actual sizes... I wanted to use these flowers for quilled invitations, but have no idea of the size - without first buying one of the specialty punches and trying it out!
If you want to make some pretty flowers, buy the book. But be prepared to spend a bunch of money on the punches - if you can find them!

This is in response to several who were frustrated about purchasing the punches and the amount needed to be able to make these beautiful projects. When I first purchased the Paper Bouquet book I also felt like that BUT, I found the punches at The Punch Bunch/Scrappily Ever After; a retail store that sells them, google it, and on ebay from "aquilla" seller. Only the mega type punches are in the $20.00 range and the smaller ones range from $4.00 up. There are a lot of punches used to make the individual flowers, but what I found when I first started making them was to decide what flowers did I really want to make first? Then I looked at all the punches that were needed to make them. Then I found out that there were a lot of the same punches that were used on a lot of the different flowers. Like the snowflake base, it is used as a base for several different flowers. So I purchased the punches for the flowers that I liked best first. Then I added the other punches that could be used in many of the flowers or that could be used in place of a specific punch shape. Look at the shapes of the punches and find others that can be used for it and several others. It may change the look of the flower slightly but you will get more for your money. I love this book and it's author whom I had a chance to meet and take classes from. She is such a sweet talented and helpful person! Remember that an auther doesn't always have total control on what and how a book's final design will be. I have made many beautiful floral gifts from this book and would buy any others from this author.

Warning for crafters!
2009/1/28
形式:ペーパーバック
I agree with the reviewer who was frustrated. The punches are difficult to find and expensive. Although there is a list of punches on page 124, the list is incomplete. A user must go flower-by-flower to make a list of punches and supplies. Each flower takes 3 to 8 different punches to make, with many of the punches costing over $20 each. Supplies other than the punches are similarily obscure. I searched Tucson (about 1 million and lots of crafters) with little success; same for Phoenix (3 million). The manufacturers namea are not provided, which aids in searching, nor are the sizes, which would allow a crafter to know if the completed flower would fit the intended use. The floral work is lovely, but to use an old saying, the devil is in the details.
If you are dedicated to floral crafting, this book has lovely work and lots of photos. I would advise a more casual crafter to pass this book up.
