Homemade Cards: St. Patrick's Day Edition

This weekend The Scrapbook Club {that's what we call ourselves because we're cool} was at it again! This time we made none other than St.Patrick's Day cards! I'm not sure when we'll ever actually scrapbook again because once one holiday is over, it seems we start working on cards for the next one!

Apparently at 3:00am Kim and I can't take good pictures. This one is kinda alright of me, and we took another that was good of Kim but I look even worse in it. So this one will have to do..

Our last edition of homemade holiday cards were for Valentine's Day and the total cost of each card came to only 75¢. Let's see how much these were... here's how much I spent:

• 12 pack of green evenelopes for $2.99 at Hobby Lobby
• a couple sheets of St. Patrick's Day paper for about 60¢ total
• St. Patrick's Day stickers {these each come with 2 sheets, but Moses and I got different packs and split them}, they were about $1.00 each.
• green letter stickers for $1.99

So the grand total comes to about $6.58 or roughly 55¢ per card!!

Now that we are a little more experienced in the card-making business, we know a few tricks & can use things we already have... which equals cheaper cards! :)

Here's what else we used:

• white cardstock cards - leftover from Valentine's Day cards
• the cards can also be made out of regular cardstock paper cut to size & folded {which we have found is actually cheaper, but we had the white ones left over. I'll probably do this from now on though because you can pick whatever colors you want.}
• stamps & ink
• random scrapbook paper, stickers, etc

I think that's it! So far I've only made 3 cards... hopefully I can turn out a few more before St. Patrick's Day!!
