Jewelry design cards: 3x5 and 4x6 cards to sketch, price and track pieces

Jewelry design cards are made for beaders and jewelry makers who like to keep one card per piece in a little box instead of filling a full page journal. The set includes 26 undated pages: eight card designs in exact 3x5 and 4x6 inch sizes with crop marks, matching lined and dot backs, reference cards for lengths and bead counts, and four dividers named Ideas, In progress, Finished and Supplies.

How jewelry design cards support your making

Draw a necklace or earrings on the dot grid of a design card, and right beside the sketch write the length, bead count, technique, clasp and metal. A project card then splits the work into numbered steps. Inventory cards for beads and findings show what is already in your stash, with size, color, quantity, cost and a circle to mark a reorder, and the shopping card turns any gaps into a list for your next trip to the bead shop.

The pricing card adds up materials, time and extras into a cost to make, then applies your markup. A custom order card keeps a friend's request, the quote, the deposit and the status in one spot. Each card works on its own, so you bring only what you need to the table and file a record of every finished piece, ready for the day you want to recreate it.

Who this jewelry card set is for

• Beaders and jewelry makers whose sketches end up on scraps of paper and who would love one neat card for each piece
• Makers who already keep a full page jewelry journal and want small cards for the work table
• Anyone with a growing bead and findings stash who wants to check it before buying more
• Makers selling a few pieces at craft fairs or taking custom requests from friends, who want clear pricing and order notes

Design and print details

• Minimal and elegant, with white pages and soft blush pink accents that save ink
• Wide margins, so a home printer will not clip anything
• Cards trim to exactly 3x5 inches (7.6 by 12.7 cm, three on each sheet) and 4x6 inches (10.2 by 15.2 cm, two on each sheet), guided by crop marks, on US Letter (8.5 by 11 in) or A4 (210 by 297 mm)
• No dates, so you can begin with any piece, in any year
• Print double sided and turn the paper on its long edge, and the lined or dot grid backs fall right behind the fronts
• Only general material terms are used, so the cards suit any beads, wire, chain or findings
