Gives your imagination a boost!

Although I have not actually constructed the patterned cards inside the book, its beauty, material lists and ideas set my imagination on fire. I've been making my own Christmas cards for 25 years and this book gives me more ideas for this year! The Victorian themes are a little "busy" for my tastes, but the ideas and structural details make this a valuable tool to use as a jumping off point. The actual designs are pretty simplistic in comparison to other pop-up books, but if you love old cards, this is a treat. My thanks for sharing the cards and ideas!
