What a shock this was. I was so disappointed. This is a cut out book of thin,
Flimsy Paper Pictures for you to cut out & then glue the pictures to card stock that you must cut out. Nothing is perferated or punches out so if your not an expert sissor cutter the results are not what you'd give or even show to someone. the only place for the finished card is in the trash. Very deceptive & misleading.

I was very disappointed. The paper is lightweight and to add any dimension to the card as shown on the tv demo, you have to buy extras. You have to cut these intricate designs and shapes, so get a good exacto knife. Pretty stuff, but very deceptive.

There is so much included in this kit with the two booklets, cards AND the envelope template. Hot Off The Press is one of my favorite companies. Their designs are top of the line. Yes, the papers are thin like some other reviews wrote, but you don't want to have heavy cardstock when you are gluing the papers to actual cards anyway. Thanks to HSN for providing kits that include so much product and that are affordable!

This kit is packed with really nice designs.
By reading the reviews I was skeptical and almost didn't buy it. I am so glad I decided to try it. The paper is a normal weight not card stock but it isn't that hard to adhere it to the card stock. The colors are vibrant and beautiful and the variety is amazing.
I can see where it will be time consuming to have to cut everything out but I don't mind when the product is so nice.
I have to give it the highest rating possible, I just love it.

I agree with lots of the reviews that the papers were not the quality you would expect from Hot Of The Press BUT If you took the time to follow the directions and used adhesive tape instead of a glue stick the cards turned out really nice. I received many compliments on them.

Watching the HSN video of this you think WOW! Well my WOW! quickly turned to WHAT! as in what garbadge. I saw no spinner card or instructions on how to make it as show by Holly. The paper is very flimsy and there is no backing to make it thicker. Example she shows the purse and some other shaped cards with a back guess I have to find paper and cut that out myself. Very disappointed. Save your money unless its on sale for $5.00 which is all its worth.

I really enjoyed doing these and have received all kinds of compliments from the people I gave them too. I would definitly buy a pakage like this again. HotP products are some of my favorites to work with. Yes, It takes time to cut everything out, but the finished product is well worth it.

I thought that the kit was going to be real nice--looked like it on tv--very deceiving. Cheap and thin paper, which you have to cut out. I got the kit and sent it back the same day--no 2nd thoughts as if I should keep it.

What I saw on TV and what came in the box,where two different products.The kit reminded me of my childhood,when we would cut-out magazines and paste onto paper.Very poor paper quality.I returned the product.

If you want cards, just click on by. To make the cards you must glue the thin copy weight clip art on to your own cardstock and then cut eveything out. Pass.

This card kit makes some really nice cards, however it is a lot of cutting out. Every piece has to be cut out, which is very time comsuming. This card kit has some nice and unique cards, but is time comsuming. I copy all my pages before I make a card, so that I have extras if I need them. Then, I can use the cards over and over again, without having to buy more kits.

Hmm. The kit wasn't what I expected due to the fact that you have to cut out every single thing BUT I'm still keeping it. I did like the template and will put together the cards as I have time. It's nice to learn new techniques and I'm always in need of a card at some point.

Don't bother. The colors, paper quality design looks like are awful. They remind me of an old fashioned coloring book that you have to cut the pictures out of and it is impossible to cut them out smoothly. I cannot believe that HSN even allowed this in their warehouse.
Return! Return!

The artwork was beautiful but every piece had to be cut out. Even small little letters had to cut out. I'm sorry, no time for this kit.It's going back.

I thought the price was pretty good for everything listed -- then when I got the kit I saw why. Every part of the card must be cut out. These are NOT punch-out die cuts. I guess unless it's specified in the description I need to expect to cut, cut, cut. The quality of the pieces are great, it's just a lot of scissor work to complete one card. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands, I'd pay a little more for a set with punch-out pieces.

This particular item was very difficult to cut out! It had very intricate details for the card I tried to work on, and I couldn't cut smoothly.
