5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh, crisp, fun!, December 2, 2006

By	Erin M. (Utah, USA) - See all my reviews

I love this book. It's filled with great new ideas for novices or advanced paper crafters. Page after page has cool creative ways to use embellishments, ribbon and folding that I've never thought of (and I'm an advanced scrapbooker.) I'm going to use the design ideas and color combinations for scrapbook pages as well. Great resource and beautifully done. Well worth the cost of a few supplies. I'm buying one for my sister, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, No Direction, July 24, 2006

By	Crystyl (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

This is a great book filled with many great ideas. It has many photos of invitation ideas, however there is no step by step instruction on how to do them. There are a few instructions that are presented as if they are tips for creating certain embellishments or card styling. Buy this book if you are familiar with how to make cards and need some inspiration. But, if you are new to making cards, I would suggest the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1581806744/sr=8-1/qid=1153768625/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-1889912-1020747?ie=UTF8">Simply Cards by Sally Traidman</a>.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invitations are awesome!, July 8, 2007

By	L. Hrycak "xonetruthx" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really love this book, I'm so glad I got it. There are several really creative invitations in here as well as simple instructions to create them yourself. People will think you are amazing. I used one of the invitation designs to develop my wedding invitations and I never would have thought of it myself (I am better at copying/basing my own creations off of something else than being original haha). I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for invitiation designs and want to blow people's minds with your creative skills.
