There are many positives about this kit: Carrying case is great to put the contents back into place and has a carrying handle. Everything fits easily and velcros shut. The paper colors are vibrant. The shapes are nicely perforated and do not rip as you are taking them out. The paper is a nice weight--almost as thick as cardstock, I believe. The cards are large: 5.5" x 8.5" - a nice size for small hands.

However, I have pretty paper and envelopes. What I really wanted were a good variety of shapes for my 6-year-old daughter who enjoys making cards. Instead, the set included the following popouts shapes:

7 sheets of paper in these colors: orange, blue, light green, purple, white, yellow, and pink. Each paper contained the following shapes of varying sizes:
8 squares (3 perforated into 6 triangles each)
14 rectangles
8 circles (3 perforated into 2 semicircles each)
5 flowers
3 hearts
18 petals/teardrops
1 sheet of black paper with 48 black circles (4 different sizes).

There is one piece of cardboard with 7 examples (their website [...] has other ideas), but once we created flowers, a house, a present, a face, and butterflies, there wasn't much else to do (winter/Christmas just past). You really need to be creative with ideas to enjoy this kit to its fullest. I had hoped for more variety of shapes (birds, people, sports, furniture, etc).

For those who are imaginative, this set will likely be great. If you're looking for pre-made shapes, be aware of this kit's contents.

I bought this as a gift for my 5 year old niece and she LOVES it. Not only her but her whole family has gotten involved in making cards. An extra bonus... I've already gotten two handmade thank you cards!

My daughter received this as a gift for her 7th birthday and loves it. She uses her imagination and makes lots of creative cards. Every birthday she makes her own cards and loves doing it. My sons love it too. It helps them be creative and use theur imagination.
