Format:Paperback
As an enthusiastic amateur crafter of three years experience I found this book a refreshing source of new ideas and techniques to expand my range of activities - all were clearly described and illustrated. I have already tried out two new styles - the iris folding and the teabag folding with great success.

I have been crafting for many years and this is the first book I have found for card making that is helpful on all levels - ideas, instructions, techniques etc. It has everything for anyone who has just started crafting to someone who's been crafting for decades to gain inspiration from....a must have!

Be aware that this book is actually made up of segments of previous Search Press books-Teabag,Iris,Lace,Peeloff,Embroidered,Punched,SilkPainted,Glasspainted,Metal and Wire,Polymer clay,Embossed and Rubberstamped Greetings cards from the series. That actually makes a it very good, value for money book, as you get a little of a lot of techniques,just be aware that if you already have a few of the Search Press books,check how many are in this book.I like the format, and the clear concise way everything is explained.If you want to try new things, these are the books for you- there is also a second one,The All New Compendium of Cardmaking Techniques, which covers a different selection of topics.If you are interested in any of the topics they cover, they are well worth the purchase.

It does whats on the label
A basic card making book with easy to follow instructions, my only complaint was that some of the cardmaking designs, illustrated by the book appeared a bit amatuerish.
