No more standing in line at Hallmark trying to find just the right card! You can make one yourself with this witty guide. Get Real Greetings is packed full of inspiring and clever card ideas for the REAL moments in life. Some suggested themes include cards for your friend who was just dumped, your mother entering menopause, your friends who just bought their first fixer-upper, a co-worker who got fired, your sister with raging PMS...all WITHOUT sugary sweet sentiments, butterflies, and sad puppy eyes. Get Real Greetings encourages us to use our own "voice" and humor to express our feelings with cards- even when that voice is sarcastic!
The quick tips for basic card making are easy to follow and the suggestions that go with each card are easy to incorporate into your own creations, whatever your own style is. The book offers many funny captions, which will inspire you to make your own unique cards, suited to your friendships.

| I just got this book, and I can't get enough of the sassy humor! The instructions for card designs are great, but the real catch is that the sample cards themselves are really clever and funny! Plus, there are pages of more "sassy sentiments" that you can incorporate into your own cards. I think the best thing about this book is that it shows you new ways to bond with (or make fun of) your girlfriends through homemade greeting cards. If you enjoy laughing with, or at, your girlfriends, this new book is a must-have! |

Prompt Shipping.
Product looked brand new.
The actual book definitely has the right title.
I definitely would not use any of the greeting that are suggested in the book, though. Some of them actually are pretty vulgar. There is a difference between sassy and mean.
This is no bearing on the seller. The seller was absolutely perfect. |
Sassy!!!!!!!

| Great ideas and very new! My only criticism is that they may be TOO sassy or TOO bold for many people. Know your audience before you make some of these cards. They may offend rather than uplift! |
Not for everyone

| This book has some great card designs, but the sentiments are not for everyone. If you are upset by vulgarity or crude humor, this book is not for you. |
