Format:Paperback
A great wee book, as we would say in N. Ireland! Great price too! Only 48 pages, but packed with appealing projects, with clear step-by-step illustrated instructions, all using readily available materials. After each technique is demonstrated there are a couple of pages showing at least 5 other examples of cards. (Including the projects, I counted about 48 different cards and gift tags) The pictures are really clear, so even without instructions it would be possible to make any of the cards.Some are really beautiful.
My only complaint about this book is that the cards are so great looking (there's not one I don't like)it makes me want to make them all, but I do not have the time!

The book I purchased is great! It has great ideas for the use of outline stickers, somethingI like to use, but sometimes I feel lost in the tones of different card making products. I really recommend this book.
