it has potential...3
I received this book as a Christmas gift. There are lots of pretty and delicate designs in the book and I like how the author finds many different uses for a few basic embellishments however every card in the book is a 5"x5" card - the dimensions/scale are planned for square cards as opposed to rectangular cards. I also thought more illustrations would have been helpful in some cases. I don't think a beginner card maker would find this book very helpful.

Great source of inspiration!5
I really loved all the projects in the book. They are elegant, wonderful. They are not described step by step, what could make it a little difficult for begginers to follow, but results are marvelous.

Simple yet elegant designs5
I really liked the cards designed by Claire Sun-Ok Choi even though as one reviewer mentioned almost all the cards are square. I bought this book after I had seen it in my library and liked the projects. The methods used are simple, well described and accompanied with step by step pictures. In other words,instructions are clear and understandable.
