This was something I did for my own project. 

I'd recently started painting on agate slices and I needed packaging for them. I also needed a new business card that would work well for the graphic design and art aspects of my business. I wanted to put a mini print of one of my digital illustrations on the back for advertising (hopefully incentivizing people to keep the card as well). 

Then it struck me that the mini print would make a nice background for the agate slices. Business cards are the perfect size as it turns out. I rotated the butterfly wings towards the bottom so that they would show the most for the smaller stones. The mini print is 2"x3" and there's a header at the top of the card on both sides that can be punched to attach the agates with metallic twist ties. A small microfiber cloth is folded and placed behind the card, and slipped into a small baggie. I got a rubber stamp made of my logo, and use it to stamp the back of the bubble mailer. Packaging complete!

Note: The agates are for sale in both my Etsy shop and my Shopify shop. (I want to see which platform does better.)
