Photo Strip Business Cards

business cards (10 of 21)If you follow me on instagram (@deliacreates), then you know that I attended Altitude Summit last week. It was a total blast!

If you are curious to learn more about Altitude Summit or Alt, Jessica wrote up a great article about it HERE.

business cards (6 of 21)I can’t wait to tell you more about it myself. But for now…my brain still feels like mush trying to process all the good stuff I learned. 

So, today I’m sharing my business cards.

If you have been to Alt, or have heard of Alt, then you know that business cards are kind of big deal. The whole idea of Alt, is to think outside the box and the cards reflect that.

Since my blog encompasses a few different niches, I thought I would tie them all together into a simple photo strip. 

It’s photo strip on one side…

business cards (1 of 21)And business on the back. 😉

I couldn’t decide on which pictures to use of which kids, so I mixed it up and used two similar collections.

Here are the links the each project picture:

Natty Janes Leather Baby Shoe Pattern
Kiwi Shortcake (Vegan)
Winter Shift Dress
Double Crochet Infinity Scarf – Free Pattern
Holiday Boy’s Suits
Sloane Hat – Crochet Pattern
 

business cards (11 of 21)I didn’t start with this design, but I knew from the get go that I wanted an odd sized card. I struggled to find an affordable place online that could accommodate that request, so, I went to my local Alphagraphics.

I admit, I was a little worried about how it would all turn out, but now I can say I am so pleased! The price was fair and they really worked with me to get my cards just right. (I’m not getting paid to say this, but want to share my source and experience with you).

As unique as my cards are, they don’t even come close to the awesomeness that other attendees passed out. I will share more of that with you when I recap my Alt experience. Until then, Moorea Seal has a beautiful round up of a lot of my faves HERE.

P.S. I know that this post probably doesn’t apply to many of you, but I share it in case that it does. And…in case that someday, every conference and business lunch will entail passing out business cards that are as surprising and delightful as the ones I found at Alt. How great would it be if we all started thinking outside the typical business card box?

Have a good one. 🙂

    The ones I collected are all still sitting underneath a huge pile…I want to go through them so badly. Hopefully after this weekend I can come up for some air 🙂

    Cute, unusual business card! You’re right about some of us not needing business cards, but it’s been years since I made/bought bookmarks and mine are falling apart. So, I may need to fashion something similar to your cards. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I love your photo strip business cards, Delia! I’m so glad our paths crossed, albeit briefly, at Alt’s Investing in Your Blog workshop. And I’m super impressed with your photos as well – so fab!

    Those are really cute! I haven’t thought much about business cards… but it would really be nice to have something to give people when they ask about my blog. =)

    That is so smart! I would definitely keep it – which isn’t the case with all the cards I pick up at conferences and such – and use it as a bookmark. That means you would be constantly “in front of me” for a long time. Regular cards that I do keep get stuffed in my wallet or in a Rolodex rarely to be seen again unless I’m specifically looking for them.

    Hi There, I was actually looking to do the very same type of business card and found this post. I was wondering if you could give me the information of who you printed the cards? I know you mentioned going to Alt summit, but I wasn’t sure if they had the printing there or if you contacted someone directly.

    Thank you for the help,

    Justin

      Sure! I was living in Utah at the time and had Alphagraphics handle the printing for me. They do a really great job and for a very affordable price!
