Trying my hand at designing

Carla over at Half Dozen Daily got me super hooked on her cork.  So, I am trying my hand at designing a few things.

You would laugh to know how I did this one!  It included chip board, a ruler, a ceramic coaster and pen.  LOL - whatever you have available huh?  The chipboard was for my template and the coaster was to get the curve.  It worked.

Not too bad!  This is a card wallet - I did not want to just say business cards because I found it is good for gift cards - they are thinner than regular debit/credit cards (though those fit as well) and I thought it would be a very unique gift card holder - for a gift!  Instead of buying paper that will just be thrown away, even the holder could be used.

My question for you all - what would you like in cork?  I was thinking about a bi-fold and tri-fold mens wallet in plain, chocolate and black cork - maybe even mixed, a women's small wallet, a passport wallet and a luggage tag.  Not to mention, I would make the hand sanitizer holders and maybe some key fobs out of it.

The only bummer thing is I cannot find an American supplier that has the variety Carla's supplier does.  So, I paid the exchange rate and international shipping.  I can only hope someone picks it up sooner than later.  Right now, here I can only get the cork-printed fabric - not the actual cork.

I am in completely love with this cork - so soft and easy to work with.  I am going to go crazy with it!
