Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Sequins and feathers, glitter and ribbons, dried flowers and seashells, scraps of mulberry paper and snippets of lace--these and many other adornments jazz up the pretty cards in Debbie Brown's How to Make First-Class Cards. With motifs ranging from celestial to nature-oriented, kid-friendly to holiday- themed, the 30 simple projects include decent instructions and full templates for each card. Although the designs are merely on a par with other similar guides, the excellent background information is far more thorough than most books on the subject, with extensive details on papers, equipment, adhesives, embellishments, basic techniques, envelopes, and designing your own cards. -- Amy Handy

This review is from: How to Make First-Class Cards (Paperback)

for a beginning card crafter, the level of detail involved in each card was a bit daunting. Perhaps in a year of two, and with the assistance of a few good merchants, then I will cheerfully attack these projects, but for now they seem to be beyond my abilities.
