Trend Alert: Paper Engineering
 What is “paper engineering”? And why do cardmakers, scrapbookers and other papercrafters love it so much?
Paper engineered projects are ompletely unique. They’re clever. They’re tactile. And yet, with the right tools, they’re also very easy to do. Paper engineering refers to the folding, tucking and twisting that turns plain paper into something remarkable.
Why do papercrafters love it? It’s the “oooh” factor. A card featuring a paper engineering technique almost always inspires an “Oooh, how did you do that?” from the recipient. It allows the papercrafter to get a fabulous effect—and a little praise at the same time!
Even better? The techniques are easy once you know how—and
even easier with a little help from a template!
Now papercrafters can get the latest designer look quickly and easily with Hot Off The Press’ four new templates, featuring the paper engineering secrets of designer Susan Niner Janes.
- Fold-It Ribbon Swirls
- Fold-It Links
- Fold-It Bows
- Scandinavian Hearts
Each sturdy clear template retails for only $4.99 and has gridlines for precise placement; they’re 3-hole drilled so they can be stored in a binder.
