Takes a bit of time but worth it

2008-08-23
I make my own greeting cards. I purchased this book from Amazon, couldn't wait to get it. Glad I did. Many different types of popups are presented. Some very easy, some I didn't find so useful, like sliders. However the illustrations and instructions are very clear and I have made several different designs. This is a no brainer for those that enjoy doing something different.

Not what I expected.

This is not what I expected. You can pass this one by and choose a book/pamplet with better designs and ideas. If you don't already know how to make pop-ups, you will need a book with better instructions. This book is really only useful for those that have NEVER even thought of adding pop-ups to cardmaking; very basic ideas, and not a good How-to.

This book is a must for the card maker in your life. No longer will you have a flat, boring card to send to family and friends. This book teaches you to make action-packed three-dimensional cards...fun to make and fun to share. Great addition to your craft library.

Love the ideas...

The book give a lot of great ideas for action cards... And those ideas can be manipulated for variations so easily.

Need better examples and instructions. 2006-11-19
I was disappointed in this book. I have been making my own Christmas cards for 25 years, am always looking for new ideas and I love pop-ups. I felt that the examples were, for the most part, uninspired, too contemporary, and not relevant to the biggest card-giving occasions. The instructions sometimes were too vague to complete the project. I really think the basics taught in Paul Jackson's "The Pop-Up Book" were much better even though he provides no patterns or specific instructions for the awesome examples he shows. I'm glad to see Jackson has put out another book WITH instructions. This book is okay if you want an inexpensive substitute but it really doesn't show the true depth of action cards nor provide any new ideas that impressed me. I want to look at examples and think "Wow! I can do that!".

would have liked clearer instructions 2006-10-29
I have been crafting for about 40 years and felt the instructions for some of the ideas could have been a lot better. The ideas are great. Working through the instructions has often been very frustrating compared to other books I have.

Great book, although I found some of the instructions a bit tricky. Overall the book is very imformative on the different ways to make some interesting cards.

A fun book 2006-03-08
There are numerous books available on making cards. They tend to rehash the sentimental, cutsie attitude towards card making. This book is different. It concentrates more on the structure of the card. It is beautifully presented with clear photographs and instructions. Fun for all ages and skill levels.
