Leather Card holder

[LionCrownLeather]

Hi

I just finished my leather card holder with my logo stamped. It is made by a thick 2.5mm veg tanned leather from italy. I dyed the leather by myself using fieblings pro oil dye. I already recieved some feedback on the thread I use and spacing between my stitching lines for this project and it turns out it can look neater if a smaller pricking iron is used (I used 5mm for this project) also many recommend the diamond chisel.

I experimented on a piece of leather using a groover to cut out and mark where I wanted my stitching line. I used a 4 mm diamond chisel and punched through in the grooved line and hand stitched using saddle stitch, it looks much more professional, the groover helps the stitches to lay down, the diamond chisel offers a much more beautiful look on the stitches and the 4mm distance is perfect. I will continue making my card holders with this new method.

Looks nice! I like the lion stamp as well, but I think it would be more natural if he was on the left looking toward the center instead of facing away. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing more as you experiment with stitching.

Thank you, I will definatley think about putting the lion on the bottom left so that it will face inwards towards the center, good point!
