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

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with great ideas!, March 12, 2003

By	Meridith (North Dakota) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome--Includes everything!, December 18, 2005

By	Military Brat - See all my reviews

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!
