The little white flowers with yellow centers remind me of tiny, tiny fried eggs. This month's kit includes puffy sticker words. I like them a lot, but not as much as the tiny images we got last month.
Funny thing, I had a lot of tiny gold hearts left over from last month's bunny frames, so I put a few on these cards, including the bunch of blue flowers above.
These flowers were a lot of die cutting. I loved putting them in the bunches, and I love the way they look, but it's a darn good thing I don't have trouble with my hands like some crafters do.
After making 10 cards with this kit, and using up all the card bases that come with it, I decided to do a bonus mini-slimline. This one is about 6 /14 wide by 3 1/4" tall.
Here's a funny story. Well, maybe not so funny. I donated a bunch of my cards to the Friends of the Library to sell on their May junk table. In theory these are to be Mother's Day gifts, but OMG the stuff, most of it, is yard sale junk.
Except for the cards, of course. The cards made by library staff with the Cricut are priced at $2, and mine are priced at $4, a real bargain. Most of them probably cost me more in supplies than that per card.
These kits from Spellbinders, however are a good value at $38.50, so if I make 10 cards the cost in materials is $3.85. And they sell for $4 on the junk table. A whopping big fifteen cents more than the materials.
I'm not complaining, because I've been making cards and couldn't use them up or give them to my friend who wanted some fast enough. Just in case anyone thinks they can make a living making and selling cards, really you want to think it through first. It's a good thing I love my day job.
