This is a simple easel card with a small box added to the front to hold business cards. I don't know why I buy patterned paper.... I don't use it a lot. This stuff was some I found during the 'bung-out'. It had a date on it from 2006! Yikes!!!! I just modified the easel card a bit to match the measurements of the business cards and added a small box on the front to hold them. The only decoration is the glittery stickers and the big gem.

This idea is so ingenious, Sue, and I love it. What a great gift this would be for anyone who uses business cards to be able to display them in a unique and very artistic way. I am so very impressed!!! I'm a big fan of purple anything, so you got me right there! Beautiful silver embellishments add a lovely silvery shine.
Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment on my latest upload of hand-stitched cards, Sue, that meant a LOT to me--especially coming from someone also from southern Ontario!!! I have met a few fellow card-makers from Ontario on SCS which is fun! Have you attended ScrapFest in the past? I have, but I haven't been there in a few years. The last stamping-type show I went to was one in Hamburg, NY and it was great--I do see that they are getting smaller but still have such great vendors that it's worth it to go. It saddens me that we don't have any local stores anymore here in the Hamilton area to shop, and due to health issues, getting to NY state can't happen often, nor can driving too far for craft shopping just because I am already driving for treatments for pain issues from an MVA years ago--I do go to Mississauga and more recently up as far as North Bay for specialized treatments, plus I have family in Mississauga... I'd love to hear where you tend to shop locally or as local as possible for craft supplies. I do buy online, mainly where shipping is low and prices are as good as possible. I'm going to be doing a pretty major purge and will be selling stuff because I have more than I have room for in my small place, hopefully in the fall--I need to figure out how to list online, perhaps on a Facebook page, etc, will see...
I have been a fan of your work for some time, and then noticed that you are from Ontario which makes it even better. Thank you for all that I learn from your artwork, Sue. Stay safe and healthy at this very uncertain time.
