I hope you had a sweet weekend my dears!
I've been thinking about business cards lately because
I'm in need of a new set.
I sure would love cards made from a letterpress...
...made of thick, textured card stock with
a 2-dimensional, reverse-embossed effect.
Or possibly cards that are die-cut
with more than one color.
But hey, these can be pricey and I may not
be willing to give them away. LOL!
So this week, I'm exploring ways to make my own.
Starting with these as inspiration:
Gold Teeth is a shop selling paper goods &
jewelry. The card is made from handmade
paper {I like the frayed edges}, the images &
words are hand-stamped with gold ink.
McFlashpants sells jewelry and her card is
made of craft paper and is also hand-stamped.
Claire's shop is filled with upcycled goodies & her
card shows that she's a true BFF of Mother Earth.
It's made of old cardboard and all the information is
also hand-stamped.
Fact & Fancy has already closed shop
but their business card is quite cute.
The logo is hand-stamped and the
other information is typed out and
pasted on a piece of thick paper.
More ideas tomorrow!
Hey Claire! Love the new header! And I would feel the same about letter press business cards. It would be hard to part with them...they're just so lovely. I look forward to seeing more of your alternative ideas. Sorry I've been away for a while, I've been opening my online etsy shop. Have you seen it? I'm adding new items on a daily basis.
