Mini Moo Cards and My Deco Adventure

I have been dying for a reason to get Mini Moo cards for some time now! And I've finally found a reason to get some, my blog and shop :D If you don't know what a Mini Moo card is, basically, it's like a business card, cut in half, only you can get them printed, both sides, in full color, using as many different pictures as you want. I purchased mine so I have something to include with orders from my shop, and because I go to a fair share of conventions, so now I will have something to give to people who ask about me or my bonnets, besides just a URL scribbled on the back of a schedule. As well as a pack of Mini Moo cards, I also got a keychain holder to hold them in, which, as you may have guessed from the title, I did a little bit of decoing to.

The packaging the Moo cards came in, so cute! I love how excited the boxes were for me XD

Oh my gosh, look at them all! Because the cards are really cheap, I went a bit crazy and ordered 100 of them.

All 6 different designs, plus what the back looks like. I have 3 for F Yeah Lolita, and 3 for Ophanim, even though I have links to both F Yeah, and Ophanim's blog and Etsy shop on the back.

And here's a picture of the little case! It fits about 15 Mini Moo cards in it, so I'll always have some on me.

Now, while the case is really cool, I think it needed something a little more Lolitastic, so I busted out all the deco supplies that I have been hoarding and got to work! While I have glued rhinestones and cabochons to things in the past, this was the first real decoing project of mine. And I actually found it really fun and I'm really satisfied with how it turned out. I was going for a "classy" look as opposed to a sweets look that many deco things have. Mostly because I am really not that great at working my silicone icing tube!

Here's a Photoshopped with fake sparkles and gaussian blur and everything picture of the finished case! The cameo and the cross keeps it classy and out of the tacky category right XD? I like to pretend it does.

A not-too-great-photography-wise closeup of the bottom part of the case. I added extra rhinestones to the big rose and even added a hanging cross charm.

Here it is hanging with my couple other cell phone straps, it's almost as big as my actual phone! And I told myself when I got this phone I wouldn't weigh it down with a bunch of junk. I've actually since taken this off my phone, as it kept clanging into a big pink pearl charm I keep on there and I'm really afraid of breaking it. So I guess I'll just be tossing it into my purse, or maybe taking the pearl charm off my phone.

This has really given me the urge to try to deco some more things. I am now on the hunt for little cases that I can slather in glue and rhinestones and plastic things!
