I am going to my very first blog conference next weekend 🙂 and I must say I am pretty excited.
So, I have been told I need business cards to hand out to new friends…here are my issues:
#1: I don’t have a business
#2: My blog is creating really awesome free things…I can’t buy business cards!
#3: #2 doesn’t matter since I’m poor anyway 🙂
So, I decided to make my own business cards! Here is my first prototype out of cereal boxes and things around the house…please tell me what you really like, don’t like, or ways to make them better…
These are deinfitly custom business cards 🙂
Also, is 50 enough?

I love that idea. Yeah I have the same problem too when people suggest business cards. But making them is a fabulous idea. And why not right? Your whole business is making stuff so why should you business card be something generic?? :).
Vista print pretty much gives away their business cards for almost shipping. But I think the ones you have are great.
Love them. slick and homecrafty at the same time. and free and ecofriendly. winner all around. no clue on number, but I'd do a few more cause they're so cool and you'll always be able to use them.
Yes, yes, yes. Very unique. Memorable. True to what you do. I think people will respect you for that. Nice job.
Such a cute, creative and inexpensive alternative to regular cards!
I linked up to you in a post today! Hope you'll play along. 🙂

I love them. The lines at the bottom are just enough. (and they are free, too! Great idea.)
The cards are so cute!!
Do you think you should put your full web address on them? I don't know. I think they look great though!
I think there are like 150 registered to go to the conference. Maybe you can just only give out cards to your favorite people. 🙂
I can't wait to meet you IRL!

Those are totally awesome.
And I would tell you if they weren't, cause that's just the kind of gal I am. 🙂
are you kidding?! These are amazing! You're brilliant! Have so much fun!
those are so darn clever. im in love with them, and your brain for coming up with them.
These are SO cute. Much better than typical card stock business cards. :]
Those are super cute. {I do think your blog address should be on there-on the back, maybe?}
I really like them! Plus they are obviously not your typical business cards so yours will definitely stand out, in a good way!
I think they are great and reflect your blog. I might add the blog address though. Oh, I like the different colored stitched lines at the bottom!
These are so adorable and memorable, I just adore them!
If you ever want to get some in the masses, check out vistaprint.com, they do 250 free business cards (premium ones free too, if you sign up for their email and wait for the promo!). Just pay shipping!
But I love these and think they are such a great idea!
Of course you can take those!! Especially since it goes with the name of your blog! I totally love them! Congrats on going to the first big blog convention! 🙂
I think they're darling – and I would make more than 50!!
I think they're great! I like "non-standard" things that are in keeping with the feel of a company (or personality in this case)!
I think they are AWESOME!! It's so "you"…not that I know "you" per say, but I am a frequent blog stalker 😉 It seems to fit you and your blog theme very well. They look professional and simple. They will def be a card people will remember!
I have never been to a conference before, so Im not sure on amount. But 50 sounds about right! 🙂
that is a pretty awesome idea. I think they will work great but i would probably go with more than 50 just to be on the safe side. i know i would bring like 250..
Those are pretty wicked awesome, Jamie! I think they're great!
I made some business cards to hand out to people. I can send you the word document if you're interested. I just printed it out on heavy bond paper. I'm sure 50 is enough. I'm curious, what did you do with the back of the card?
So cute and clever!
great job – – it'd be fun to add glitter, but that's probably too much embellishing and would shed all over people….
I love everything about them! EVERYTHING!
Gosh, I love them, very creative!
Have a great time!

I love the way these look! But should your web address be included?
Okay, seriously, I LOVE these cards.
Cute and creative and CRAFTY!!!! 🙂
Have fun… sounds like a blast.
Jaimie I really like these!! I think they are so cute! The stitching is so sweet on the bottom. I think they'll stand out and people will remember you. Super creative. 😉
oh my word…I really love them! So simple and CUTE! And it's your theme…you created some really awesome free things!! 🙂
