Customer Reviews

Gorgeous cards

Yes, they are all square, but so what - it is very easy to simply use different size instead. The are so simple and beautiful. I had more problems with canadian terms - press pen is embossing stylus,punch wheel is serrated tracing wheel.

BEAUTIFUL Ideas

This book is WONDERFUL! One of my new favorites. Fantastic ideas along with step-by-step instructions. A must-have for any card maker who enjoys creating very pretty cards.

Great source of inspiration!

I really loved all the projects in the book. They are elegant, wonderful. They are not described step by step, what could make it a little difficult for begginers to follow, but results are marvelous.

Simple yet elegant designs

I really liked the cards designed by Claire Sun-Ok Choi even though as one reviewer mentioned almost all the cards are square. I bought this book after I had seen it in my library and liked the projects. The methods used are simple, well described and accompanied with step by step pictures. In other words,instructions are clear and understandable.
