I remember the first time I ordered 1000 business cards. I thought to myself, this will last me a lifetime. But with craft shows and an online shop, I quickly realized I would go through these cards pretty quickly. So I thought I'd share all my business card designs from over the years. It's cool to see the designs evolve and change over time. While I'd love to have a lovely letterpress card or do a quality handmade card, I go through these so quickly so it wouldn't be the most efficient idea for me.. still, I so appreciate and love collecting beautiful cards from fellow bloggers and companies. Some of my go-to places to print are vistaprint and I also print locally at ultradotmedia.com too - their service is okay but they have some great printing prices :)
So any exciting weekend plans for you? Our weekends are filled with craft shows and this weekend, we are headed to San Francisco for Renegade Craft Fair! If you're in the SF area, I hope you'll stop by and say hello :) We'll also be at bloomfestLA which looks like a pretty cool free event - More information at our events page. Call us crazy but we're waking up at 2am on Saturday and driving straight to SF - we'll see how it goes ;) Hope you have a fantastic weekend friends! xo.
You're going to the SF one!!!! Oh goodness! I'm planning on going also!!!!
ReplyDeletewow, so many changes.
ReplyDeleteI like collecting people's cards but I always seem to put them in bags and then rediscover then ages later having forgotten who they were from

I loved to see the evolution!
ReplyDeleteI'm now trying to create a new business card and this is obviously making me think about the way my whole brand looks like... always trying to improve, right? :)
Wishing you success in the Renegade Craft Fair!
Lovely designs! Very inspiring! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see all your different business card designs! Glad you shared.
ReplyDeleteAlso always glad to see vistaprint get a shout out- I LOVE them! I almost did my WEDDING invitations with them, I love them so much. :) I have not printed my own design with them yet (only adapted some of their designs), so I am glad to know you've had good experiences! Excited to try it soon.
I love those designs! I need to order business cards as well- I'm sure I'll have trouble figuring out a design I love most!

You got little sleep, drove straight through, and then set up your booth -- and still looked THAT beautiful, not to mention being so friendly and charming as well. I was pleased to see you at Renegade here in San Francisco, and hope you are able to enjoy a little bit of the beautiful day in our city.
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! Definitely unique, but I can see your style in each of them :) And I like looking back at the history of your designs!
ReplyDeleteThe cards are gorgeous! <3
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog (luckily!) and I love it! :))))))
Your blog came up in my Google alerts so this is my first time reading it. You had some nice images of business cards. Normally I don't leave a link and I won't make this one live but there is a business card you should look at. It is an origami folding business card that is being used for crafts in a larger size. I think you would be interested in it. Site is CreativeBusinessCards.me
ReplyDeleteThese business card designs are absolutely beautiful & unique. Love them!
ReplyDeleteLovely designs you got there! What type of paper do you normally use?
ReplyDeleteOh wow, these are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your biz card design evolution. It's great to see all the different lovely versions you have had over the years.
ReplyDeleteAs a branding consultant and educator, I find it is also a nice example of how you have a clearly defined brand that, while the look and feel has evolved over time, it has retained a clear red thread through each permutation. A great case study for design students!
Great Cards!
ReplyDeletei love seeing the evolution of your cards. thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteLovely deisgns!I really like your quality work keep it up..
