Customer Reviews

Great buy!!!

I will get good use from this book - there are alot of cards that I will be making from this book. Very happy with the purchase, money well spent.

Book with Ideas

I am glad that I bought this book. Although it doesn't give an introduction of materials used, (it does get into the details of the project from first chapter!) it is a very down-to-earth book that gives the reader plenty of ideas to achieve professional and sophisticated results in a card. These are the two main criteria that must be met when I buy a Stamping book. I also recommend other stamping fans out there these other books which I enjoy reading:- Stamp in Color (Dave Brethauer, Stamp with Style (Kathryn Perkins), Rubber Stamp Celebrations (this one doesn't have good instructions but it would be good to get the inspiration needed to make great looking cards!)

Beautifully done!

A must for the person who loves to create their own paper greeting cards. Beautifully illustrated, there is a clear photo that accompanies each card project. New ideas are presented on each set of pages. The greeting cards are clever, classy and classic. Each card comes complete with a list of supplies needed to create the card as well as step-by-step instructions. This book is destined to become a classic and "must-have" for crafters who are interested in creating something other than the run-of-the-mill, ordinary country look.

Great Book with Beautiful Pictures!

I was so excited to finally receive this book - and I wasn't disappointed! There are some great ideas here - for projects that look hand-made, but not necessarily home-made. Great job- beautiful book with really clever and sophisticated ideas. I can't wait to try some of them out!
