Business cards are great for networking. I can’t even count the number of times someone has told me their business name in passing and I can’t remember when I finally go to find them online!
I used to carry cards in my purse and if someone asked for information on my blog or what Boo is wearing I just handed them a card instead of hoping they remember my website. Stephanie Corfee designed the cards for me. I order them through Zazzle whenever I need more…..they are the mini cards…the size of a piece of gum. I don’t have a phone number on them….just my website and a business mailing address. I also use them for tags…..a hole punch does the trick:
Now instead of business cards I hand out my Choose Joy bracelets:
Here are some neat handmade business cards I’ve come across:
Handpainted and rubber stamped. Via Oh So Beautiful Paper.
Hand stamped with a trinket included. Via Oh, Hello Friend.
Super cute! Cards with fabric sewn to the back via Juicy Bits:
Brown paper and twine plus a standard mailing label! Love this idea via Burlap and Blue.

Thanks Ashley! So many great ideas here. I really love your business cards, especially since they double as hang tags so easily. The design is great and I love the different size. Thanks so much for sharing!
P.S. I’m curious what your feelings are on unconventional business card shapes/sizes. I’ve been using a 2″ circle punch on recycled cereal boxes (with a sample button from my shop sewn on) and my website hand-written. I like that they’re unconventional because I think/hope they stand out more, but I’ve been wondering if they’re more likely to get tossed aside because they don’t really fit in someone’s wallet the same as a regular business card. Know what I mean? Yours seem to be the same length as a regular business card, but since they’re smaller, I’m curious what your feelings are on whether you think different is good or not.
Love this…just starting out with my business and am going to create cards tomorrow from your inspiration…thank you!!!
Love this lil blurb! I actually collect business cards! I throw them into a large glass bowl! I have business cards from all over!
A lovely collection of handmade cards. Yours have a particularly whimsical and colorful design scheme. Very cool…
