Hi Coops, Stunning card! Such a beautiful image and pretty colours. Not sure how much to charge. Maybe £5 if you charge £1.50 for 6 x 6 cards.

Big hugs, Jill
Hi Nic...it's totally gorgeous....lovely colours! £1.50 is way too cheap for your 6x6's!! For this one you need to charge between 6 and 10 pounds, depending on how much you spent on the 'ingredients' xx Jenny xx
Hi Coops,
Aww this is gorgeous!!! How could she not like this!!! beautiful image and love all the papers and flowers, ribbons - everything is perfect!. A lot of work has gone into this - I would charge more than £1.50. for sure You have to consider the time it has taken you and making the box also.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs Sue xx
Fab card Coops - stunning colours - and the flowers are terrific! x
Hi Nic, gorgeous card, sure she will love it! I would say £5 for sure! Luv & Hugs, Trish x

Hi Coops,
A stunning card and the box lid too. Gorgeous image coloured to perfection. I would say the minimum charge for a card and box this size would have to be £5.00 and more if you use lots of embellies. They wouldn't be able to buy a personalised card in the shop.
Let us all know how you get on.
hugs
Marion
Wow Nic what a stunning card those colours are gorgeous with a capital G, that image is fabulous the design awesome. For a boxed card this size I would charge at least £5, mind you I am rubbish at charging for any of my things I just make them then pass them onto my sister, lol.
Hugs
Lorraine x
Love the hot colours of this card Coops and your colouring is perfect! Gorgeous DP's and embellies too. Can't believe you only charge £1.50 for a 6x6 card, that's way too cheap surely?! I would charge at least £8 for this one hon
Hugs,

Gorgeous Coops she will love it for sure xx Mau
ps...shame on you not stopping hubby till he had finished...tut tut..would i do that....lol
Hey Coops, this is beautiful hun, love the colours....£1.50 for one of your cards are you mad woman lol......this is worth a fiver (if not more) of anyone's money..She'll love it for sure.
Shell xx
fantastic project!!!
thank you so much for your supportive comments on the creative craft challenges blog. We are working on another blog and will keep you informed with updated details..thanks again
Sylvia and the DT..x
Well,this is more than a bit stunning girlie!!!! I agree with what most people are saying here,your cards are well worth more than your current pricing (says the lady who has a box full but can't bring herself to sell them lol!) I'd say your normal 6x6 are worth £2-£2.50 easily,when I do sell mine to friends I leave it up to them and they usually give me £2.50 This boxed stunner is worth £5 at the very least!
Wow your card is fab I really love the colours and the flowers. The lid is lovely too, a brilliant keepsake!
I agree with everyone else in thinking that your work is worth £5 at the very least. You'd never get such a personal card in the shops. I'm sure your customer will be very happy to pay for your time and creativity.
Have a great weekend

What a really ekegant card.
Thank you for sharing with us at Allsorts this week and good luck.

Hi Nic, WOW this is one lovely card and box! I absolutely love it! Well,lets be realistic here, it is not what a card is worth that warrants the cost for us it is more what people are prepared to pay. I always stumble when it comes to charging so it is really interesting to see what other people say. I wonder what price you will go with? £5 seems to be the minimum, do let us know! Brilliant card though Judy x
Oh this is beautiful! Gorgeous colours! I can't believe you only charge £1.50 for your cards - they're worth far more than that!!! The box I'd say about £6??? Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
Gorgeous card and your flowers are just beautiful. Lee xx
Hi nic.. This boxed card is fabulous.. I'm sure she'll love it.. And you need to charge at least a fiver.. And I say 'at least'! Remember it's a unique card.. Not one churned out by hallmark where they'd charge about a tenner! I think we crafters have probs charging for our cards.. I'm a bit like you.. But its easy to tell someone else!
Hugs
Christine x
It's fab Coops and you are not charging enough by any stretch of the imagination.
Have you seen the prices similar cards go for on ebay!!!
This is a one-off so be good to yourself and put a decent price on it. :)
Love it BTW!!
Edna x
OMG, amazing attention to detail coops! Beeeeautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous Coops,beautiful image and the colours are stunning.
Wendy xx
Its gorgeous Nic,it will be well loved.Sorry cant help with card charging,If I say £1,50 I get funny looks sometimes.Have a lovely day.

Absolutely stunning Nic and such a beautiful iage and colouring...you are deffo under pricing your cards at £1.50 for a 6x6 espesh if they are made to order :) Donna x
hi there, this is a gorgeous card, beautifully coloured and great combination with the papers.
This is amazing ! Such a classy card. Your colouring is sensational as is your composition I just love this !
Marie
What a great card...wonderful flowers. Love the colours.
My daughter had a wonderful Prom thank you. Thank you for looking Nic.
Debbie x
Beautiful card and box Nic. For my 6 x 6 I ask for £3, sometimes I get more. For this I definitely wouldn't take less than £5.
Debs xx
A fabulous card, its a beautiful design and I would charge a lot more than your previuos at least £5
This is stunning the colours are so striking, i really love this one and the flowers and swirls are gorgeous, hugs pops x x x x
oooo really lovely card and yes I agree it is much too cheap ... but it is hard to know what to charge isnt it ?? I am sure the lady will love it as will her sister ... happy crafting and love sandy xx ... ps thank you for visiting my blog
This is gorgeous Coops, really beautiful, love how you've decorated the box too, I'd say no less than £5, hope you get more it's worth it. hugs Teresa♥ xx
a stunning card, love the colur but those roses are just fab!!
Tilly x
I don't make many cards so I don't generally sell them, but I really think you are under pricing your cards Nic, £1.50 for a 6x6 is far too cheap! You can't buy a mass produced card for as little as £1.50!
I would definitely increase your charges to a £4 or £5 a card, plus more for a larger or boxed card.
Hugs Elaine xx
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm sure she'll love it!
You don't charge enough!!!!

Trish (-:
Oh my word! This is absolutely stunning Nic!! The colours and papers are beautiful and I love the roses with the swirl! You definitely need to be charging at least £5 for this, if not more!! It's a work of art and one of a kind!
Sarah xx :0)
Just gorgeous hun, love the colours & the image is fab!
hugs shell xx
WOW.Love this.Fab colours.xxx
Wow, a gorgeous card - I love the colour combination you have used x
WOW this is WOW x
So beautiful - your colouring is amazing!!! Juliexx
This is beautiful Nic! Absolutely stunning.
It's hard to price things isn't it? Some people just aren't prepared to pay what cards are actually worth. I have a box of cards at hubby's work and tend to keep them simple and fairly cheap (as I know they won't pay more!), but my box for mum's work I can fill with more detailed cards because they seem happy to pay a good price.
After all my waffling... thanks for joining us at Stamp Something hun :o) Lisa x
