These are so amazing, I just had to try it out. I’m about to graduate from college with my BFA so I thought it was time to start thinking about the future. I must say that not only are these good for making a small batch quickly they are so inexpensive, which is right up my alley. My emphasis is printmaking so on the back of each card I thought it would be cool to have its own little monoprint.

Thanks a bunch for the inspiration.

Thanks for featuring my cards! I must say, although they take me some time to make, I get so many comments on them. Mostly along the lines of them being too nice to throw away, which is want you want in a business card isn’t it? : )

This is awesome, I’ve actually designed my cards to be made this way as well! I have my rubber stamps off getting made right now!

my DIY trick is to use a word document, print out roughly 9 cards at 2 x 3.5in at a time on pretty paper and hand cut them. it’s not glamorous but i enjoy the non-commitment part… they are really easy to change as well. in my last bunch i used a thumbnail of a drawing i did, gettin fancy!

thanks for these great ideas!

Oh my gosh! I JUST posted on this same topic (inspired by design*sponge)! And tested out DIY cards a couple nights ago–I’m planning to shoot my results tomorrow morning and put ‘em up. Thanks for all of the other fantastic sources.

I read your blog nearly every day, and love it!

[...] I always get made fun of for having business cards but they really are invaluable in a lot of situations. They’re easy to get printed but doing something handmade makes you really stand out from the crowd. Check out the bottom two designs and more at Pitch. [...]

ellie – great inspiration here! for my very first business cards last year, i (gasp!) order some very plain ones from a mass-market printer with just my name, url, and email – then i stamped by biz name across the top after they arrived.

i need to work on the third generation now, though…

anyhow, i’m loving the stitching you featured. i’ve seen it elsewhere on other cards. maybe a trend? what simple & fabulous DIY touch!
