The book shows many card making techniques and examples. If you already use die cuts and stencils, this book doesn't offer anything new. In fact, most stencil ideas involve tracing examples printed at the back of the book, then cutting to create your own stencil. Not much offered for using inks, colors. Many products are from the UK and requires some interpretation to understand.

Who Should Purchase This Book?

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2012

I found the majority of projects in this book to be for the beginner to some intermediate crafters. There are quite a few patterns & impressively shows both the metric & U.S. numeric systems of measure, so you won't have to stop to do the math. The "How-To" progression of steps are done with fairly nice pics of visual & written instruction. This book does a great job of detailing techniques & styles, yet I found it's equipment section to be more of a "What's around the house?" list. One should always research what's new, before purchasing tools & supplies, so you don't waste $ in the long run. If you don't have the $ for special tools, then the list of "Around the house" is great! For my personal taste, I found many of the color choices & combinations distateful. One must look past that to utilize the ideas & techniques, which are key here. Overall, I can recommend this book to the above forum.

Great book, but shown projects here on amazon are not in the book

I received the book today and was eager to see how the shown projects e.g. salt-patterned greeting cards work - but none of them was in this book. I was really disappointed that amazon shows a wrong content from the book. I wonder where I can find these now? Otherwise the boook is great - there are nice techniques and projects - I will try out in the future.
