Good for starting out,

This review is from: The Art of Card Making (Paperback)
The book is good although if you had bought Claire Sun-ok Choi's other book Designing Handcrafted Cards: Step-By-Step Techniques For Crafting 60 Beautiful Card you would have wasted yur money as every card is already in this book. The cards are basic and easy to make so this book is definitely geared more towards beginners rather than someone who has already been making cards and is looking for a little innovation or something different.

The Monster Book of Greeting Cards,
By E. A. Lovitt "starmoth" (Gladwin, MI USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Art of Card Making (Paperback)
This book has been stitched together from other, older greeting card books, and like Frankenstein's Monster, the parts don't match. Claire Sun-ok Choi's delicate and beautiful quilling creations have been combined with potato prints, pressed leaf stationery, seeded-center flower cards, and vegetable kingdom collages that look very sixties (or third-grade, if the truth be told).
Many of the cards suggested within this book have bits that will fall out of the envelope when it is opened, or won't even fit into envelopes and will have to be delivered by box. A wedding card included in this book has a zipper sewn between the photographs of the future bride and groom. It could also be used as a divorce announcement by unzipping the zipper. If you'd like to buy a book on quilling, I'd recommend Claire Sun-ok Choi's Art of Paper Quilling: Designing Handcrafted Gifts and Cards. I'm sure there are other, better collage books out there, too.

By MayB "artist2artist" (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of Card Making (Paperback)
Some very good ideas for making cards are given, plus, with a little imagination, one can make a variety beyond. All in all, a pretty good book.
