I liked this book.
The projects for Kids, Home and Celebration are pretty and useful. Depending on your paper or card they can be simple and chic or as clashy as you need them to be. There is a wide choice of projects to do, and this is perfect if you have an event and need to have a lot of large decorations.
I loved the Kids section, but I did have a problem with the Carrot treat box.. instead of scoring the lines they actually cut.. even though I adjusted my blade several times this project just did not work.
Another thing was the 'vanity' cutting..The author has added the cutting of her name and the project name to each project so this extends the cutting time, and it is really not needed.
The instructions are easy to follow and the book is very well presented.
Lia Griffiths has various online and social media activity and for an annual fee you can join up.

Pretty designs but its mostly paper. Storing would be rough and its limited use.

Lia Griffith has some great crafting ideas. She comes off very honest.
I warn you to look up cricut past business practices though before making the decision on which company to buy from. Cricut changed the previously optional cricut access to be required in order to use your own machine. It’s an added cost of $120 usd/ year. This decision was made Mar 12, 2021 in order to force hundreds of millions of profit from their customers. Design space also doesn’t have as many features as a company like Silhouette.

Beautiful!
If you have a Cricut Maker, you need this book! There are adorable projects in it, for the home, for the kids, and more. It is a huge bargain, considering it comes with 60 SVG’s. I am glad I stumbled across her books.website. I see many more things I want to make than I do browsing the Cricut website.

I enjoyed this book but would be better if it had the cutters that are not electronic as well because without the electronic machine or a Manuel machine you would probably find it hard to make them but some awesome crafts!

Super informative and very fun projects. Great for beginners

The projects are attractive and creative. The instructions for assembling the projects are good and written instructions are accompanied by photographs. SVG files are available to download using a code provided in the book. The code was difficult to locate and minimal instructions were provided for using the files and for cutting out the shapes for the projects. Additional information would be required about your cutting machine to get the most use out of this book.

While the pictures were nice to look at, I didn't feel they were very diverse or something you coulsnt make fairly easily without a machine. There were just too many flowers for my taste and I thought the pages could have been used for somethung different. It was still nice to look through.

Very specific projects for paper flowers and vinyl appliques. Useful description of paper and vinyl options as well as crafting tools

Has tips for using machines and project ideas. Most of the projects didn't appeal to me, directions were vague.

Several projects to try with a code for SVGs to download for Cricut.
