Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Designed for the serious craftsperson, this program offers templates for making 10 types of projects including quilts, pillows, ornaments, napkin rings, placemats, bags, frames, boxes, stencils and scrapbooks. Unfortunately, the software is anything but user-friendly. The tools are unusually hard to use and the onscreen help is weak at best. Also, we found the artwork selections and premade designs limited in comparison to other print programs. Some of the artwork is difficult to distinguish onscreen, making selection a frustrating experience. While great in theory, we'd wait for a program with more craft templates and a better, more straightforward design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Easy and Keeps em' Busy for Hours and Hours, November 10, 2000

This review is from: Creative Crafts & Gifts (CD-ROM)

I am not a computer person, but this software is so easy to use. I'm using this software in my afterschool program and the kids, whos ages range from five to eleven, are having a blast making everything from gift bags and boxes to placemats and pillows. Everything is self explanitory and if you do have trouble there is a tip button that covers most everything. Most importantly, the graphics are good and there are so many to choose from. This program has proven to be easy for all ages. I have certainly gotten my moneys worth

4.0 out of 5 stars Great craft software!, June 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Creative Crafts & Gifts (CD-ROM)

This is great software that allows you to print crafts straight from your computer. You can print off a box to hold a small birthday present in in just a couple of minutes with one of the many already made designs, or design it yourself. You can choose from several themes- baby, floral, pets, and many more. It has a cute puppy frame, a pretty floral box, and fun outer space pictures. It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, but I still think it's great. If you love to make and/or design crafts, this is a must have.
