Cards That Wow with Sizzix

This is a great book and I love it, however it is NOT an instruction book. I view it more like an advertisement book that shows you what you can do with Sizzix products. Ideally the author wants you to buy the Sizzix framelits which are about $20-30 a piece. After looking at the cards for a while I figured out how to make my own templates and have made several cards. You do not necessarily need to buy the Sizzix dies. When I get a chance I'll post some pictures. Happy crafting.

One thing you have to be aware of when you order this book is: it is a book of ideas and not one of instructions. The ideas and presentation of those ideas is really well done. You also need to be aware that she uses a lot of different card stocks, patterns, and supplies. So, if you have them on hand it would be great. If not you'll have to read the book and then order them either online or from the store.

Is nice but with the same ideas again and again and again... I saw the same b-day card 5 times and the same car card 4 times.

If you like pictures, then this is a book for you. But if you want directions and beginner advice, this is NOT what you're looking for. Pricey too.

This is a good book for inspiration. However, most of the products used in the card samples are Sizzix products so don't expect to replicate in any manner without their specific products. But it's always good to have something to look at for inspiration. The items in the book can be ordered from Sizzix.

Again another great book with more ideas on ideas and will also list all the dies you will need to complete the projects. Great job.

I guess I should have read the reviews. There are no dimensions to make any of the cards. I don’t need a $25 picture book.

As long as you have the 4-5 card-specific dies, this book has ideas. I wouldn't buy those dies just to utilize this book. I thought it would have quite a few die cut ideas. It's really how to use 1 die, 4-5 ways. It's the type of book I wouldn't have purchased if I'd looked at it in a store.

not what I was expecting. more about selling Sizzix dies than general tutorials. overall disappointing. probably just as much info / ideas available on web so suggest you save your money.

This is a lovely book with lots of illustrations, what it is not, is an instructional book with measurements etc. It is a book that basically says, buy my dies and see what can be done with them using pretty papers. If you like playing with your frame dies, and dies you have already, or are OK with free cutting, you can achieve a lot of these examples shown in the photos yourself, but obviously it is much quicker using their dies, so on the whole a great 'ideas' book.

Some nice card designs in the book, along with a list of the supplies needed. For a total beginner though (I only bought my Big Shot Plus last week), I would have liked some instructions on how the various cards were assembled and not just images of the finished products. That said, the book is colourful and interesting to look at.

Sizzix had an opportunity to showcast their dies here and completely got it wrong. It's a book of jaded ideas producing mediocre cards that I wouldn't want to make or give. Having bought the Sizzix Big Shot I thought this would be full of ideas of how to use the dies to produce wonderful designs - it isn't - I've already sold it on on ebay.

Probably should have saved my money. There wasn't anything in here that isn't available on crafters YouTube channels. However if you don't have access to a computer then it's an okay addition to your library.
