Members Bifrost Posted September 24, 2012 Members Report Posted September 24, 2012 Hi! I just finished this one. I made the background stamp myself from a steel rod (my first own stamp). I also made the box for the wallet with my logo on. /Tommy Quote

David Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 Very nice, simple clean and well executed. Quote
Members jayjay Posted October 4, 2012 Members Report Posted October 4, 2012 Someone here mentioned what is behind the card pockets as I'm curious as well. What is to prevent te top cards from slipping down ?? a linning or ???? Quote
Members Bifrost Posted October 4, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 4, 2012 I cut out 8 rectangular pieces from thin fabric and glue them behind the card pockets. This way a pocket is formed and the cards wont slip down. I made a quick picture in paint. Maybe it's better than my explanation or maybe it just confuses things /Tommy Quote

Actually I think your drawing explains things very well.. Just a thought for yours or other folks possible use.. As an alternative to cutting the pockets into seperate pieces, you could make that set of pockets from one continuous strip. Just use the same principle as you have, but instead of where you glue at the top of each pocket slot and it ends, making it glue up to the bottom of the next pocket up..etc.. I've messed around with your drawing, I hope you don't mind and I hope it shows what I mean.. Of course, the pockets are closer together than in the picture, so there would be perhaps, a little more glue holding the material, but not much extra material to what you used anyway..

Members Bifrost Posted October 4, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 4, 2012 Doing like that will make the lining to thick with 8 card pockets. Atleast with the fabric i,m using because if I understand you correctly this will add one extra layer of fabrics to each card slot. Quote
Members jayjay Posted October 6, 2012 Members Report Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks BiFrost that cleared it up really well for me....I'm kinda of a picture guy haha Quote

No, it makes it no thicker..just saves time cutting the rectangles, is all.. Quote Being defeated isn't the worst thing in life..giving up, is..
Members Chavez Posted October 6, 2012 Members Report Posted October 6, 2012 Really nice work! Would you post a pic of your background stamp as well please? Quote
Members Bifrost Posted October 6, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) If you look at my picture you can see that there are more fabric layers if you count one card pocket at a time, which means it's thicker at the bottom of each card pocket than if you compare to cutting out single rectangles. If my picture is not the way you do it i'm sorry for missunderstanding /Tommy Edited October 6, 2012 by Bifrost Quote
