I think this is my favorite of all the Christmas cards I've made. And I've made a lot.
I made 100 of these. It took 23.5 hours to make them. That doesn't count the "thinking time" to determine the design. The cost, including stamps and dies, was $120.50. Lots of people think making cards is a cheaper alternative to buying them. If I add minimum wage to the cost, the total is $290.88. That's $2.91 per card.
No matter time or cost, sending a handmade card is always a pleasure.
