Card Making Book

I thought that I had already sent a review, but the shipping was fast and the product was outstanding.

Very informative

Book is very detailed,would have liked more actual pictures,but lots of information, a little confusing, needs to be a little easier to understand. all in all if you are a beginner I would not recommend this as your first book.

When you _really_care enough to send the very best;)

Tired of the cards at the mall stores that never have the right image or the right greeting? Do you want a simple yet beautiful way of expressing your feelings? Or maybe you're just tired of the mass production of various holiday cards - if so, this book is for you.You don't have to be "crafty" but it does give you a slight edge in making the cards. Gillian Souter provides clear, concise instructions on how to make various cards from making the paper (not necessary but an interesting sideline) to cutwork to paper sculpture> There's rubber stamping and decoupage as well as needlepoint included. Don't let that scare you off - with the directions clearly spelling out what you need and how to proceed, you'll be making beautiful individualized cards in no time.<br>You don't have to stick with the patterns - for instance, the satin tulips are beautiful, but with the information provided, you could make other flowers. <br>I recommend this book highly for those who want to show their individuality by producing a card that will be displayed and praised for years to come.

making greeting cards that last into the 21st century!

Thisis a book all about making greeting cards and stationary. Best of all, this book contains over 45 ideas for creating these! Sure, you may say, I've seen books that claim to have over 45 ideas before, but when you open them , they have considerably less. Usually around 35-40 ideas. NOT THIS BOOK! It is a virtual cornucopia of ideas! This is the book to buy if you are looking for 45 or more ideas on how to create greeting cards, stationary or greeting card and stationary accessories. If you area looking for a book with just a few ideas easily digestible, then stay away!
