BUDGET DESIGN: Hand Stamped Business Cards

It's been a while since I blogged… I've had a couple of crazy and busy months going back and forth from the west to the east coast. I wanted to post about a fun alternative for business cards. Sometimes it's great to get off the computer and do something by hand so this is why hand stamping appealed to me, and I wanted to show some hand stamped business cards that caught my eye… Custom stamps are a great way to experiment with your look on different colored papers, and try different colors of ink… Additionally you can use your stamp on stationery, and packaging, etc… French Paper offer some really great pop tone paper in various colors…, you can also get lovely business card paper at the Paper Source.

LETTERPRESS LOVE: Poppy Flower Press

I really loved these diecut letterpressed business cards done by Poppy Flower Press and posted on the Oh So Beautiful Paper Blog.

This is my first post. Please be patient with me, as I have never blogged before and I am a bit nervous, and I am teaching myself. I wanted to share the designs that inspire me and what I read about the business of design.
