If I handmade greeting cards I am sure I would have given this book higher marks. It was interesting, full of inspiration, if you are a crafter. I only gave it a two star rating because it was only pictures. No tips, no hints, no commentary, no words. The book was great if that's what you are looking for, but, I'm a word lover. I did spot many interesting cards, a few that were ho-hum, and several that we amazing.

Lots of inspiration here with real artists making cards (so it's not your average scrapbooking stuff). A great gallery to get you thinking creatively.

Highly recommend this over standard card making books out there. It is so artistic and creative in comparison. Great coffee table treat.
