Rating: Summary: Regret buying book Review: I was so excited to find a book that did more than just show how to make the cardfronts. I thought this book would instruct on how to make cards that "WOW", but rather it was more of an "oh, bummer". I guess if you're just starting out this book is fine, but for some with a teensy bit of experience I found this book not so inspirational.
Rating: Summary: Not an ordinary card book! Review: This is not your ordinary card book. Anyone involved in paper will enjoy these projects. Rubber stampers, scrapbookers, art journalists, collage artists, calligraphers and book artists will find this a useful book, with many ideas inside.
The book starts with basic cards and variations, and includes templates to make your own envelopes. Any project that requires a template has one as well. Also included are a good overview of the basics such as how to determine the grain of paper and how to use a ruler.
As in the author's first book "Creative Correspondence", the meticulous directions and illustrations that accompany each project make it possible to actually execute each card, even for the directionally confused such as myself. By breaking down complex cards into small steps, the reader is led bit by bit to the finished card.
One thoughtful touch is that every measurement in the book is given in inches as well as centimeters, a real plus for those "over the pond".
The projects in this book require very few tools, quite a refreshing change, but if you have a bunch of paper punches, brads, stickers and other things hanging around these cards are the perfect place to use them.
If you want to make cards that you won't find anywhere else, if you like cards that move, flip and pop up, this is the book to get.
