Earrings!

The promised photos of the first two Starbucks card earrings I made last night. Please forgive the bad lighting and use of my ill-qualified webcam.

Those are freaking cute. :) I would quite possibly buy those if I saw them in a store.

I'm thinking about selling some online, but, honey, just tell me which ones you want and I'll send them to you.

I like the green ones best.
I can pay for shipping?

You absolutely cannot pay for shipping. :D
I love the green ones, but they were only the second pair I made and keep falling apart on me. They need tweaking.
I have the day off from work tomorrow, and will be making a bunch more sets. Photos will be posted, and then you can decide which ones you want.

and another tip.. Draw the shapes you are gonna cut out, on the back.. That way, they dont show on the front of your pretty pieces! =-)

The brown around the first was supposed to be an attempt at framing the pieces, but a filed test today ended up rubbing it all off.
I just bought a card-maker hole punch, which does the trick with a little effort on my part, but gives a nice and even 2'' piercing.
Do you do anything for the backs of the cards? I just left mine blank, and there doesn't seem to be any aesthetic drawbacks.

Sometimes I double side them. So, they are reversable.

Those are AWESOME! ^_^
Sell'em on Etsy, I'm sure you'd get buyers!

Etsy is getting overrun with Giftcard jewelry makers.. When I started, there were 0.. Now, there about about 15 or so..
Artfire.Com has one or two. Plus they are Fee Free, or 12$ a month flat rate. (Etsy has fees.)
There are a few other untapped market places too.. 1000markets, and others.. =-)
Just a heads up.
