Customer Reviews

Higly sophisticated!!!

I have to say that this book have so many beautiful and detailed cards that i was impress and even more because the steps are so clear and explicit,also the quality is superior and so elegant. i will treasure it.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Year Round creativity is the goal when purchasing a greeting card book. This one delivers 30 inspired ideas! Christmas, Festival, Good Luck, Romance and Birthday ideas are followed with templates you can photocopy onto thin card. The ideas are literally amazing! As someone who was seduced into attending a card party a few times, I can tell you the ideas did not come close to the creativity in this book. We were left to figure out our own ideas and while that can be enjoyable, the sheer pride you will feel when you make some of these more intricate designs is superior! Your friends will enjoy displaying these during the holidays. The Christmas Hologram Bauble, Holly and Berry Card or Golden Bell will brighten up a tree or table. With today's multicultural society, Susan has included a series of cards designed to celebrate festivals of faith from the Muslim and Jewish calendars, as well as Easter and Kwanzaa. I am especially impressed with the Star of David card you could give on any Jewish festival. You can find everything you need at your local craft store or online. Sure to impress if you make the cards or give this book as a gift. ~The Rebecca Review

Can't Put It Down!

I love rubber stamping! "Susan Attenborough" has MANY beautiful ideas I and many others can use too to making beautiful cards. I've read thru it twice and can't wait to go and have the templates sized. She cuts to the chase and I love books like that. I truly enjoy it and brought to work and co-workers loved it! A must on a Christmas list for the paper crafter!
