And We're On

I got back to crafting yesterday, and I started with this little card holder.

I told my family that I needed business cards. So what did I get for Christmas? Business cards!

I'm pretty sure some of my family thought I was kidding, but I really wanted business cards. I realized this semester that I am getting to the point where I need an easy way to give my information. I had to meet people for internship opportunities and the like, and it did not feel very professional writing my number on a random piece of paper. (Also my handwriting is not all that great, so I don't need to show that off). Furthermore, I'm beginning to sell some of my own things, and it's nice to have a calling card.

So anyway, now that I have business cards I decided I needed something to put them in.

And that's where this came in.

Cut out a piece of felt 4x7 inches, and a piece in a contrast felt 2x3 1/2 inches

Taking the larger piece, fold the bottom up half enough to cover your card. Then sew from the bottom of one corner to the bottom of the opposite side.

 

 Decorate the smaller piece of felt with a design of your choice.

 Finally, attach the smaller piece to the front flap of your card pouch.

I suggest ironing the card holder flat if the flap keeps popping up.

Linking it up

I've been doing some searching on the world wide interweb lately, and I was going to post a link here and there throughout the week but instead I was thought "why not make thing out of it?" You know? Like make it a kind of regular post about what I've happened upon, or what has stood out to me. It makes sense to do this at the end of the week, but for my first time I'll do now before I forget.

First we have my government shut down. Democracy at its finest people. I love politics and I love that my country gives me the opportunity to choose who to put in power, but when the people we put in power can't work together it makes you rethink the system.

On a possibly more scandalous note, there is the mother-in-law from hell. This story makes me think twice about whatever family I might marry into.

I have found another style blog, not that I need another one to follow. But Jentine from my edit has a great everyday style that I really enjoy.

My brothers introduced me to Storage Wars, and I am a fan. It's like thrifting mixed with gabling, but extreme.

Finally, I have been listening and singing to this nonstop for the past week and a half.

p.s. if you guys have any links you'd like to send me, feel free.

Catch you on the flip side.
