As soon as I finalized my Alt Summit plans, I knew I needed some business cards. My blog design has changed since the last time I created cards and this trip deserved something awesome.
I was happy to have the opportunity to work again with Rob from Bullfrog Laserworks. (You may remember Rob created the wood buttons we used on the ticket pouches for Project: craft.) I am so thrilled with the results! After a couple of short Etsy conversations, Rob and I came up with this simple design. Just a few days later I had stacks of handmade wood cards packed in my suitcase.
Passing out these little wooden cards to my Alt friends was a favorite experience from this past weekend. It was like giving them each a little prize for being kind and inspiring me.

ReplyDeleteI would like to know if this can be done in large format printing. It looks so rustic and sophisticated that I want to do something similar to my door label.
ReplyDeleteI will try creating my own wood business cards too using my bandsaw blade. How did you write your information on it?
ReplyDeleteI would like to have a wooden business card too. Do they produce different sizes that are available in discount printing?
ReplyDeleteAmazing and elegantly made business cards! I can feel an authentic vibe with this card and the owner must be really pleased with this.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the hardwood look. You totally rock. I wish I could be as talented as you.
