The Most Expensive 3x3 Card

I love to make cute little 3x3 cards - you start with a 3" x 6" piece of card stock, fold in half, and decorate.  If you are using 12x12 paper, you can get 8 from one sheet.  I am participating in a swap of 3x3 cards and designed this little cutie:

Usually, when I make a card, I use only 1 or 2 stamp sets, but for this card, I used THREE!  And FIVE ink pads!  Here's what I used:

• Stamps:
• Petite Petals (wood mount: 133152, clear mount: 133155)
• Simple Stems (wood mount: 133098, clear mount: 133101)
• Lots of  Thanks (wood mount: 129687, clear mount: 129690)
• Ink Pads:
• Daffodil Delight (126944)
• Pool Party (126982)
• Calypso Coral (126983)
• Pear Pizzazz (131180)
• Smoky Slate (131179)
• Paper:
• Smoky Slate cardstock (131202)
• Whisper White cardstock (100730)
• Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper (132994)
• Square Envelopes (107309)
• Tools:
• Big Shot Machine (113439)
• Ovals Collection framelits (129381)
• Other:
• Petite Petals Punch (133322)
• Basic Pearls (119247)
• SNAIL Adhesive (104332)
• Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)

With clear mounted stamps, the grand total is $266.20 plus shipping and tax!  With wood mounted stamps, it is $22 more. That is about $7 a card.  I would never expect anyone to order all those supplies just to make a sweet little love note, but every once in a while, it's fun to work the math!

If you want to order everything to make this card or maybe just one or two items, check out my online store.

Psst, don't show this post to your husbands!
