mint’s new business cards
Did you check out my DIY business cards post over on Pitch yesterday? Lots of good ideas, and as promised, here are my handmade business cards! They’re digitally printed on some paper left over from a past project, and then patterned masking tape and string were added afterward. Looks like I’m ready for Alt!
{These will be added to the shop next week, in case you’d like a set of your own!} Sorry, these are no longer available for sale!

January 19, 2010 at 7:07 pmWhat an amazing idea! And way to repurpose materials you already have. They look great.

January 19, 2010 at 10:23 pmwow, thank you so much! i’m glad you guys like them :) it’s always weird to look at the 100th card you made and go, “wait, are these good?” so i’m glad you think yes. i’ll be furiously tying knots on the plane.

January 19, 2010 at 10:32 pmellie, these are great! i love that you could create something amazing from things you already had… and it reflects your design sense so well!

P.S I love your style of design, your blog is so inspiring!

January 25, 2010 at 11:07 pmI *love* these. I find that having many different styles of the same card engages the recipient at a new level – give them a little stack and let them pick their favorite (which is what I do with my moo cards that aren’t half as cool as yours!).
