Make It in Minutes: Greeting Cards

Love this book, simple but very pretty cards. Any one can use this book for ideas, plus, it lays flat so it is easy to use.

Great book

This is a fun little book. As other reviewers have noted, it's a hard-cover book with a spiral binding that I really like. My biggest complaint with most card-making books and magazines is that the cards are over-worked with a TON of different products and techniques. Most of those cards take hours rather than minutes to complete. The cards in Make It In Minutes Greeting Cards, are cute and do-able without being over-embellished and fussy. And, they can be made in minutes without looking rushed or too simple.

Absolutely Awesome Idea Book

I love this book. The ideas are great and creative but do-able, not over the top foofy stuff that you would only make once. I love the hard cover and the binding, that allows the book to lay flat on the table. I'm very happy that i purchased this book.

Great variety, simple but nice!

I LOVE this book. I've been making cards for a couple of years now, so I have some experience. That said, the cards are easy to assemble using materials most of us cardmakers already have on hand. Beginners should be OK with the instructions -- there aren't step-by-step diagrams, but there is a full-page color photo of each card, and fairly detailed instructions for how to put it together. Basic techniques and materials are explained in the first chapter, with photos of each item/tool. The book is hardcover, spiral bound, so it lays flat. Nice touch! I love the variety, too -- birthday, baby, friendship, thank you, sympathy, and love/wedding. The designer uses embellishments in new ways, and offers suggestions for alternatives and substitutions. I found myself looking at a design and thinking "oh! THAT'S a neat way to use one of those - never thought of doing that ... " This will be one of my "go to ..." books when I need to put something together quickly. It's a great source of inspiration. Well done.
