5.0 out of 5 stars
Good techniques,
This review is from: Creative greeting cards (Reader's Digest) (Hardcover)
I first purchased this book out of my love of giving out greeting cards on every occasion. I needed some new ideas and definitely got them here. This book has a lot of projects ranging in difficulty for the very beginner to the more advanced crafter. A few of these projects are not that different from others you'll see in other books of this nature but they do have A LOT of pictures of finished projects and their variations that will inspire you to try something. Some sections just made me say wow and I couldn't wait to try them...and didn't! I got really big raves (and a surge of satisfaction) from cards made from the abstract art chapter. I even took some of these ideas and turned them into letters and notepaper, that's how pretty they are. Perhaps my only (tiny) complaint is that a few of these cards are old-fashioned looking. However, this is in no way bad or a catastrophe (I guess I complain because I'm younger than the average crafter and still look for something a bit more modern). Still, the book is so well rounded it even takes care of this little issue by boosting my creativity thanks to the dozens of photographs of the diverse finished projects. It's so beautiful, it definitely has me working creating my own stuff, stuff that I really love. Instructions are good and easy to follow. I think crafters all over and just about anyone who wants cute projects to try will definitely enjoy it.

Lots of good ideas. Not a book for quick projects though. Will need to spend some time creating them.
