I'm thrilled with this book and can't wait to send off some of these incredibly cute cards. My only complaint is that so many of the projects require a Gocco.

I've loved Hello Lucky's cards for a long time, so when this book came out I was excited to steal some of their ideas to pass off as my own! It didn't disappoint. Even the book itself is a treat -- the binding is really easy to manage, and the templates in back are really helpful. I consider myself very low-level crafty skills-wise, but the descriptions and how-to really describes everything very clearly. This is a great gift for crafty friends, or a fun way to pass the afternoon and make unique and special invitations or cards on the cheap!

I love this book! Step by step instructions and included templates make it so easy to use. Many of the cards do call for special tools or equipment, but with a little imagination and creativity can be altered to use whatever you have available. The ideas are just a great jumping-off point for making your own cards. Also, each one has several variations to increase your options. Why get store-bought cards when you have a resource like this!?

There are two templates missing from the first printing of this book but the publisher is aware and has posted the templates on its website at the following link: (...) I contacted them directly because I wasn't sure how to get them and they said any further reprints will be sure to include the templates.
