DIY Business Cards

February 26, 2015 By Jamie Dorobek 12 Comments

Business cards can get pricy quick! You need a designer and then you have to print those suckers! If you have a creative business, why not just make them yourself? I’ve made a few different kinds over the years out of things like cereal boxes, coffee sleeves, paint hips, and even candy! For big events, I sometimes bite the bullet and get business cards printed, these are my current cards. You can spruce up printed cards too! But, if you’re going down the DIY business card road, here are 22 awesome ideas…

    I printed the opposite side with a comment “I have a pet at home that needs attention please take care of them.” and added my business name to the bottom of this side. The card goes in their wallet in case they have an accident so authorities will take care of their pet. I’ve gotten calls months later from customers who said seeing that card reminded them to call me.

    That's fantastic, I never actually thought about making my own card. I now have a bunch of ideas!
    Thanks for sharing this. I love that playing card one, would be perfect for my brother, who is a professional card dealer.

    I wanted my business cards to be bookmarks so hopefully people would hang onto them. http://www.ajennuinelife.blogspot.com/2010/10/jennuinedesign.html. Free to me since my BIL made them, but anyone could order from http://www.promodeli.com.
