I scaled back and made just six of this card. I normally do not use them, but I had one of the cheap dollar clear stamp sets, that I picked up after the holiday last year for $.10. I find they do stamp better with Memento ink, but still are not the most solid lines. I do really like how you can position the clear stamps on the acrylic blocks, as the birds and the words are two separate stamps.
I had one sheet of this 12 x 12 paper from Carta Bella, Words of Love. I normally use what I got, but I did not have much in the Valentine's arena. I challenged myself to use one sheet at $.99. I was able to make all six cards with one sheet! I made the dimensions smaller and used the scrap pieces on the second side {polka dots} for an additional layer.
So, here are my $1.09, plus paper, cards! That is $.18 each, plus paper. My kinda price!
