Business Card Holder

Good idea Deb!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I like this a lot, Debbie. I’ve seen lots of card holders and never one done like this. I would proudly display it. Great conversation piece too. People are bound to ask where you got it… What a cool thing it is when you get to say, “Thanks! I made that myself.”

Jeff, that’s the best part: ‘I made it myself” :)

Very cool! Great to incorporate more than one material – leather is a great compliment to wood.

Debbie, that is a great card holder! i’m always on the lookout for new card holder ideas. i hope you don’t mind if i incorporate some of your ideas into my next card holder. thanks for posting this unique piece of functional woodart!

Great lil’ project Debbie. It puts together the two materials I love best, wood and leather. I love the simplicity in the design, very smart and useful and looking great at the same time.

Isn’t it the best design achieved when you can’t take anything else instead of when you can’t add anything else. I can’t remember who said something similar to what I just paraphrased. It escapes me all the time.

Great design Debbie. When I first saw it I was guessing a small box design with an open top. I guess that is what yours is but with a flexible bottom.

That is one awesomely unique card holder Debbie!

Hi Ms. Debbie;

Where do your talents end? Please don’t tell me you lassoed the deer youself, and then tanned the hide.

Also, I think I could use some of your consulting!

I just don’t have a clue what I’m doing anymore. (not that I ever did).

Really nice and creative project! Great job.

gee, wow.. thanks everyone :)

I’m taking it to the day care today so I’ll let you know if they like it.

As for the deer hide, although i’ve tanned a hide or two in my past (and yes I even tried a chew or two just to say that I’d done it) these were professionally done.
Rick got the deer (yummy venison summer sausage oh yah), did the skinning, and then we took it to the tannery.

Nice card holder MsDebbie. I think that it is a clever design and a very unique way to display your cards.

Way to go Deb, yeah!!!!mike

-- Mike. Profisher50@yahoo.com

they daycare centre now has the card holder
response: “Oh how nice. And you made this yourself, didn’t you?!”

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Great Idea

-- Robert, mountainwoodcarving@netzero.net

thanks :)

I made a few for gifts and I didn’t get the size the same as the first (which seems to be perfect) and the cards are now sitting too low.. but they still look nice.
I also cut the leather wider and so it has a ripple effect to it. My daughter likes this version much better.
I know—no pictures, didn’t happen…

Great, Another example of “seeing” things. I bet they really enjoyed it! It’s funny how you can go from” a fully enclosed box” to something like this. I wonder if everybody does that or if it’s a “GIRL” thing. If I would stick to my original thought on projects I would have a whole lot more of them. LOL!!! I like this outcome. Thanks for sharing the inspiration. Peace!!!

So… let’s see your “out of the box” ideas!! :)
