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.
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.聽
So, today I’m sharing my business cards.聽
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.聽
It’s photo strip on one side…
And business on the back. 馃槈
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 聽
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. 馃檪
Love the cards Delia! I struggle with making some for myself, so I never have! Your photos just make the cards so gorgeous!
Thank you so much Anna!
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 馃檪
I know what you mean!
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.
ooh. It would be fun to put vacation memories in a strip? Thanks for your sweet comment!
Thanks for sharing another inspiring post…those are wonderful. Way to think outside the box…love ’em!
Thank you Vanessa!
Yours was one of my faves!
aw. thanks dana!
Yours are GORGEOUS Delia! So classic and clean. Exactly what I have come to expect from you 馃檪
You are so nice to me. Thank you Kelly!
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!
Thank you so much Traci! It was such a pleasure to meet you as well.
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. =)
I know right? 馃槈 It took me years to finally get some.
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.
Thank you Linda! I hope it’s getting good use. 馃槈
Your cards are fantastic! Well done!!
Flo from *Tadaam! (french creative blog)
Thank you Flo!
These are adorable! I love seeing the cards that come out of Alt!
Thank you Jen! I know…some of the cards I got were unbelievably awesome.
Soooooo smart! I think I saw you’ll be at SNAP, no? I better be gettin’ me one of these cool cards!
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!
Thank you!
