The Best Book on This Subject!

Though this book was written in 1987, it still remains one of the best (and only) books on this subject. Not just a collection of pretty cards, this actually goes into methods of making them, and why certain designs work and others don't. My only wish is that Eva would write a more updated version of this subject, as the market for it is very lacking.

great illustrations!

Gives any aspiring home greeting card maker the tools to spark your own creativity. Not written for those of us making our own greeting cards with our computers, but leads you along the way to writing your own verses and picking appropriate graphics to match. I read this from cover to cover the first night and will keep it close to refer back to whenever I need an inspiration! Great instructions and illustrations. Shows how to design any type of greeting card from humorous to sypathetic, from birthday to holiday, to any occassion you can name! Thanks Eva!
