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.
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.
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!
Simply a delightful way to create cards for all occasions. The templates are sturdy and the instructions are so user-friendly. This has become my standard birthday present for children (mostly girls), 9 years and older, although my teenage son often joins his sister in the creative process. A special treat is to accompany this set with a collection of interesting papers from a craft store and you have a gift filled with endless possibilities and love. That is what I did for my daughter's 11th birthday and she has her own home-making card assembly line established and spreading all over the basement.
This is a very dated book made for children (in my opinion). Even though there is a adult on the cover it clearly is written at the 7th grade level of comprehension. Thankfully I paid more for shipping than the book itself. I would not have ordered this had I known a bit more about the actual contents. I would not recommend this to someone looking to create handmade greeting cards in the 21st century...unless they wanted a lesson in paper oragami for their 11 year old.
Bought for my 11 year-old daughter. Both she and her 13 year old sister really enjoy all the ideas in the book. There are cards that are out of the ordinary, yet simple to make. It opens up their creative minds and gives them something to do on a quiet day. It's hard to go wrong with Klutz.
This book is sooo clear, direct and supplies you with all you need but a knife and scissors. (and glue) The ideas were all so easy once you cut the templates and having more than enough product to make one each of the items was a treat!
My 16 year old daughter just LOVES this book set. And I love not having to scurry to buy cards at the last minute! Easy to follow directions, great supplies included, and a great price. We liked it so much I bought another one to have on hand for gift giving.
