Card Making with Cricut

This book has cute ideas for making cards with the Cricut, especially if you are the type of person who needs to see what others are doing to get your creativity sparking! However, the problems I see with it are that you have to have the Cricut cartridges that the cards are made with or be able to borrow them from a friend to make the card. Plus, the papers, embellishments, stamps, inks, etc. that the cards are made with are from all different suppliers. I don't know how readily available these items are if you want to make a card exactly like the one in the book. Therefore, you need to be the type of person that can take the idea and substitute other papers, stamps, and embellishments that go together to make a card you will be happy with.

This was a great book. I didn't have all the cartridges they used in making the cards. HOWEVER I check some of my cartridges and they had some of thesame items on cartridges I owned. For instance, they use an ice cream cone and made a cute card. I didn't have that cartridge but on a different cartridge ofmine I had the ice cream cone and still got to make the ice cream cone card. I went through my book and wrote out the name of my cartridge which matched upwith the item they had. It makes quick and so easy. I LOVED THE BOOK.

I was so excited to get this book since I just bought my Cricut. The ideas are wonderfully done and they included the names of the catridges that were used for each project as well as where or what supplies were used. As a first of this kind of book for Cricut, it's a nice book to have especially for a beginner like me. I do hope future books will include more cards and specialty paper crafts since Cricut is limitless when it comes to projects. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will more than likely buy the next one.

This book has some really cute projects. The drawback is that it uses a lot of the same cartridges (Wild Card and Walk in my Garden) in many designs and I don't have either cartridge. Even still, I can use other cartridges I do have to modify the projects. If you have the two cartridges mentioned, well worth the money to buy this book.

This book has got to be the best book for the Cricut machines. It tells you step by step on making cards. I've done a couple of the cards in the book, and have had very little problem constructing them. My only complaint is that this book is not bigger than it its. The dvd with the Expression that I got, is so limited on ideas, that this book makes up for it. This book wins all others hands down. I understand why this book is so popular and why Amazon was out of stock when I purchased it.

I really like the projects in this book, However, I feel that for the price, the publishers could have made it a little larger. More projects and tips on how to use your cricut for cardmaking and scrapbooking would have been a nice touch. Overall, pleased with my purchase.

I liked the book and all the cute cards. The only thing that i didn't like is that I am new to circut and I was hoping they would go into step by step how to make the cards.

but most of the new directions are for the new machines and have to be changed for the newer machine. I was glad to get this "old library book" as it was what I was looking for. I use it with the the Senior Citizens I teach cards with and this will give me a few - much more options for them now.

I bought this, in spite of some bad reviews, because I thought it might help with ideas, and I found it does this, but you do need to be able to adapt the designs to your Cricut and cartridges. There are some designs especially for the 6"x12" machines, but most are for the Expression, so you may well need to adapt the sizes. As all the cartridges used are specifically named, you will also need to adapt the ideas to your cartridges, unless of course you happen to have the one(s) being described. That said, the descriptions themselves are clear, and it is quite possible to look at the designs and, where needed, adapt them to your own machine and cartridges. I would hesitate to recommend this book to anyone not prepared to adapt the designs, but I have found it quite useful and it has given me a few ideas.

This book is very helpful and inspiring. Although it is only a thin book it contains alot of ideas which can be adapted to the other Cricut machines on the market as I have done. It does have a tendency to use one particular cartridge more than others which is a shame. It would have been great to see alot more finished items using a wider variety of cartridges. However, this is just an inspiration book and I know it will be well used with my Cricut and cartridges. For the price it is well worth having in your crafty stash if you have crafters block.

This book is very short, 48 pages, but has some really different ideas on cricut card making. It lists several different cartridges, which are not cheap to buy. On the whole, good book with unusual ideas, I will need to buy more of this series.

This book was ok but as the machine went wrong and it was under guarantee I didn't get to use it.I didn't get the machine from Amazon.

great book
