5.0 out of 5 stars Great book and kit, July 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Handmade Cards: Simple Designs for Beautiful Cards (Klutz S.) (Hardcover)

I just received this and I was very impressed. Along with the book (beautiful designs that can be expanded on), it comes with 20+ sheets of paper, a measuring grid (plastic-type material), a folding tool and several types of templates (for cards, mini envelopes, etc.; durable material). I can't wait to get started making cards.

This book is great for simple, yet impressive cards. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I like the details that go into the projects which make the cards very unique, not overwhelming or gaudy. Perfect for giving to little kids and adults alike.

This review is from: Handmade Cards: Simple Designs for Beautiful Cards (Klutz S.) (Hardcover)

This set is fantastic! The book includes instructions on how to make the following types of cards: 2 types of flowers, square, origami, purse, caterpillar, and pop-up (and a few others). It also shows you how to make a small box with lid and 2 types of envelopes. Included in the kit are plastic templates for all of the cards and envelopes (9 or so). Then there are templates for several flowers and a wrap-around bow. Not to mention the measuring guide (8 x 12 inches), the scorer and folding tool in one, and the 12 pieces of 8 1/2 x 12 cardstock and 10 pieces of paper. The card ideas alone are wonderful (easy and pretty), but the templates put this set over the top. The only improvement I can suggest is that the plastic is really flexible. I wouldn't have minded paying a little more for slightly sturdier plastic, since I plan on using the templates a lot!
