business cards / personal collection part 1:

November 23, 2010

I was looking through my collection of business cards and decided to pull out some of my favorite's to share with you! I really love business cards. I've done some business card round up posts here & here so if you're new to the blog, check them out!

100 layer cake - beautiful, simple, letterpress
olive manna - square shape, kraft cardstock
ready go - handmade, sewn details - like the texture!
searchresq - custom lightbulb shape on wood, brilliant!

jennifer alden design - just downright really good design!
miniature rhino - using a really nice product image as design, lovely.
michael wysong - love the use of pattern - it works so well together.
katie frederick - simple, information is well laid out, like the square shape.

the other side of the jennifer alden card. so good.
k+c sitting in a tree - handmade card, really sweet + simple.
wiley valentine - LOVE these. they're letterpress + printed on seed paper!
nate butler - no idea where I got this card, but it's amazing! It's really light
wood veneer. The website on the card doesn't work :/

Detail / Close up shots:

& that's all! Hope you enjoyed the cards and gathered some inspiration :)

PS: If you have a unique business card that you'd
like to share, please send it my way!
I'd love to photo it and add it to my collection :)

  30. Nice collection! Unique business cards are always inspiring. Those with a nice texture are always very attractive, but my favorites are ones like the Jennifer Alden or Miniature Rhino. They are not only eye-catching designs but also do not cost any extra to print. Your collection proves that it pays to be original when designing business cards.
