diy business cards

Posted by bonnie on Feb 5, 2010 in diy |

after seeing this post over at design*sponge, i couldn’t help but run out and make my own business cards!

though i absolutely love my moo minis, sometimes it’s hard for me to commit to something so permanent.   i’ve always struggled with ordering so many cards at once- i mean, what if i open a new shop, start something new, or change the name of something?

by grabbing this stamp set at my local office supply store, i can now make my own stamp, and change it up any ol’ time!  all you need after you get the stamp set is a few blank business cards  (one isle over from the stamps!) and your all set to go.  you could easily make your own cards too by stamping your ‘card’ on scrap paper and especially your outgoing envelopes.  think about all the people who handle your mail before it reaches it’s destination- this is a great (free!) way to advertise.

voila!  easily editable, diy, hand crafted business cards!

i hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and i look forward to see you back here on monday!

LOVE this!!! I, too, have struggled with ordering cards: I want my cards to be made from recycled paper…the cost for that is a little too big for my tiny business! so, I have been doing some printing at home…the size is never quite right though…

I know where I am headed today…thanks Bonnie!

I am currently picturing all the fun recycled papers I am going to stamp things onto. And I love stamps like these, because they make me feel like a librarian – wise, powerful, and dead sexy, of course :)

Cheers!

Thanks SO much for posting about this! I really wanted to create my own business cards but really don’t have any experience with that sort of thing but this seems really easy to make! I put this on my birthday wish list :P
