A clever business card with a wax seal closure. Why buy business cards when you could make your own and make so much more of an impression?
First you design your cards, you can use any search engine to come up with clever ideas for your cards. I decided to create cards that would have a central card with two tear away cards attached to it for a fun interactive design.
Print a full sheet of your cards out.
Take your sewing machine and without any thread sew anywhere you want your perforations. In this case I only have to sew two lines down my pages to create the three column design I was trying to achieve.
Nect I cut the cards apart and pre folded them on the perforations. The next step works best if you use a heavy object to hold the bussiness cards closed and of course mark where the center is on the top flap.
Light your wax a flame and carefully drip about a dime to nickle work of wax on your desired location.
If the last step didn't provide a clean circle or oval shape it's best to use the wax stick to even out the seal area.
Set your seal into the wax while still hot and hold in place for a few seconds. Next gently wiggle your seal free. To insure a clean stamp and release every time it is best to lightly pad the seal on a damp napkin between seals.
Ta da! You now have elegant business cards to share with the world!
