I have designed a card case to use for my class on bead crochet here at Crochetville. After doing the case for the class I decided it would make a perfect gift for my hard to buy for little sister. So I revised it a bit to use smaller beads and finer thread and this it the results. I did it in natural colors that make me think of her as she loves Autumn.

I used size 12 seed beads for this one with size 20 thread. I used a size 10/1.3mm hook The colors are cream,rust and peach. I lined it with a nylon fabric and used ultrasuede on the flap.
I do hope that she likes it. I figured if she didn't use it for her business cards she could use it for all the gift cards everyone seems to want to give this year.
So now 2 of my sisters will be getting card cases from me this year as I gave my older sister the model for the class.

Very very cute. I like beading and the looks it creates. The beads all line up so perfectly. Did you use a tunisian stitch to get that squared off effect?
