Altered Business Card Holder

The Office Collection class on April 9 includes several sheets of Designer Series Paper and extra Sticky Strip so you can alter your own projects at home to match the items we'll make in class.  I wanted to give you an example of what you can do.  This doesn't use the Thoroughly Modern paper, since I was trying to match something else, but you get the idea.  Here's my business card holder before:
I got it for free from the company I used to use for running credit cards.  It was small, functional... and ugly.  Here it is AFTER:

Oh my gosh, isn't it adorable????  I love pink, so I gush over this more than I should, but I LOVE how it turned out.  And it took about 5 minutes, for real.  I cut a small piece of Night & Day paper (from the Holiday Mini- not currently available) to fit the front.  I added a scrap piece of Regal Rose cardstock.  To finish it off, I just layered two Rose Red flowers from the Flower Fusion felt, put a Clear Rhinestone Brad in the center, and stuck it on.  That's it!  And Sticky Strip works perfectly for all of it.

No more bleh Discover Logo, no more boring business card holder.  Now I smile every time I see it!  So what's sitting on your desk that could use a little bling?
