Do you have a picture you can post of the ones you did? I'm planning to do some for Christmas gifts (that would include cards), and I'd love to see what you did!
I have altered the lunch box tins, not specifically for card holders though, just made them pretty.
I sold them at craft fairs for $15
someone bought one and said she was going to use it as her new purse!
I sold 2 at a booth I had last winter for $18 each. I got them when you can use a coupon at Michaels or Hobby Lobby for 40% off so it made the price profit margin pretty good. If you buy them for $7 (their normal price) and use the 2 sheets of DSP, ribbon, embellishments, etc on them then the profit margin after all the work that goes into them doesnt make it worth it to me.

SuG,
Where did you purchase your tins, and how much did you pay for them?
TIA
Annie I don't rmember, it was online and really cheap. I remember everyone on here was scarfing them up. I got 2 cses and I think I still have some left.
sorry. if i think of the site i will get back to you. It was probably 2 years ago.
I have some of those that I got from Creative Imaginations? is that where it was...that same time when they were on clearance for like $2 a tin...They are sitting on my shelf wondering if they will ever get picked to be decorated!! LOL!!
I got my tins at HL, using a 40% coupon (I don't think I've ever seen them on sale).
There's a great gallery on this site. Look under Anything but a card, Contain Yourself, lunchboxes. I don't have mine up yet, but there's tons to look at and be inspired by.
