50+ Pairs of Earrings

I have been making earrings for my daughters and granddaughters for Christmas. Many are made with Sterling Silver findings and Swarovski Cyrstals. The little trunks I found at Michael's for $1 then I painted and varnished them. Each one is decorated to represent something they like. I have been working on big wooden trunks for the Monty. I've made a little over 50 pairs of earrings in the last week. Ed is trying to talk me into going in to business. I take pictures as I go along because sometimes I create a pair I really like and want to make one for me! BTW there are no duplicates, similar but not duplicated. My girls told me long ago the years of "alikeness" was over. I use to make their clothes and often they were all alike.
Take a look

SusieQ,
You are very talented, the earrings are super, what a nice custom made present for your loved ones. I know they value them. Your packaging is also 'Just for them'. Nice touch.
Did you hand make each of the cards? Or, did you have a computer template made from Avery?
I would like to do something like that for my Sue.
I'm not an artist, too many thumbs, but I might be able to fumble around on the computer and come up with something if possible....
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you and yours. It's nice knowing you, hope to meet someday.
Jim.

Jim,
I used Publisher but you can do it on Word or PowerPoint. Just draw a rectangle the size you want and then copy and paste. I made the size so it fits in the little plastic bags which I buy at any craft store. I printed the cards on colored stock weight paper and then cut them with paper cutter. Thanks, I really enjoy this craft.
Merry Christmas to you and Sue.
Happy trails..................
