This stamp set said 3" x 3" card, oh yes!  My intent was to produce 8 cards, however, we had to pause this mission for the birth of my new granddaughter Sophia born July 30th at 4:31 PM.  Here is the little peanut at 3 hours old.


Now, on with the show.  Here are all the cards I did complete, all 3" x 3".  You can click on any of the  pictures to see greater detail.


Below are each one separately to show details:
