Great book for beginners!, Feb 22 2008
By Anne Norris "A.M. Norris" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CardMaker's Sketch Book: Ideas to Inspire Creative Card Designs (Paperback)
This card making book is great for beginner's! It shows you how to create balance designs in a very, very basic way using simple shape patterns ... it then offers you colorful photo illustrations of the same shape patterns used to create beautiful cards from scrapbooking papers, embellishments, etc. This book will show you how to create balanced and beautiful cards. Once you start using this book you'll start to notice the basic shape patterns in other card idea books that may have once looked difficult or daunting. By showing you the basic pattern shapes this book enables you to become more creative with ease. All of my card making friends bought this book after they saw my copy and cards!

I LOVE this book ..., May 30 2008

This review is from: CardMaker's Sketch Book: Ideas to Inspire Creative Card Designs (Paperback)
... and I'm a relatively experienced card maker.Think of it as a set of "blueprints" for cards. Just as with architect blueprints for a house, you'll get diagrams showing proportion and placement of different elements that make up the card. You won't get detailed directions on making specific cards, although there are dozens of examples in the book, just as a book of house blueprints usually contains some illustrations showing examples of how the house will look if constructed in various colors, etc.
You WILL, however, get a ton of "patterns" that you can use to construct your own cards, with some assurance that the end result will be balanced and visually pleasing. Colors, trims, embellishments, etc. are entirely up to you.
This is the first book I turn to when I need to make a card for a specific occasion. I always find a pattern than "jumps out" at me, and from there, it's easy to put together a great card.

Great Book for Anyone who Loves Making Cards, Jun 21 2008
By AJMidgett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CardMaker's Sketch Book: Ideas to Inspire Creative Card Designs (Paperback)
I love this book! What's great about it:It has 40+ sketches for different card designs and then 4 or 5 examples of completed cards
You can use the sketches over and over again
Everytime I look at the book I notice a patterned paper or embellishment that has been used on one of the completed examples in a way that has never occured to me before.
Listmania!
