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!

  16. They’re beautiful! Have fun at Alt.

  17. Ellie, these are totally kicka**! Way to go! And I’m def popping over to Pitch to see all the deets — Have a blast at Alt!

  18. After seeing these, I can only imagine the pile of well-designed business cards you’ll come away with at Alt.

  19. They look so great! I hope you printed a TON, because EVERYONE at Alt is going to want one! :)

  20. ellie, you have remarkable color sensibility! the patterns are simply gorgeous, and from what i can tell (by reading your blog and seeing your design work) they really express you.

  21. That’s masking tape??? Clever girl you are! LOVE them!

  22. great idea! I have some great patterned tape I can do this with!

  23. I looove these! I also just purchased that same blue graph tape without any idea of how I’d use it. It looks amazing on a little card :)

  24. Very nice :)

  25. these are fantastic!

  26. what a great idea…bravo.

  27. I love them Ellie! So simple and yet so creative! Well done.

  28. These are so fun Ellie! I love all the different patterns.

  29. So resourceful Ellie! I love them!

  30. What an amazing idea! And way to repurpose materials you already have. They look great.

  31. wow, 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.

  32. ellie, these are great! i love that you could create something amazing from things you already had… and it reflects your design sense so well!

  33. ah! wonderful! i have a small-town event coming up asap, and my business cards won’t be back from the print press in time. this is perfect!! i’ve been looking for some wonderful project to do with patterned masking tape!

  34. awesome! of course, this design is copyrighted (and for sale, if you’re interested!) but i’m glad you find them inspiring enough to make your own DIY cards!

  35. Sooooo cute!!

  36. Hello,
    I also really enjoyed the DIY cards over on Pitch. Never thought there would be so many cool ways to DIY cards! Thanks for sharing!

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

  37. These are great! Where can I find patterned masking tape?

  38. These are really great biz cards. I love collecting cool business cards and tacking them on my inspiration board in my craft room. These would definitely be a great addition to the collection!

  39. oh, i love these. saw them on the craft begins blog.

  40. these are beautiful, and definitely stands out from the rest one would find!

  41. these are gorgeous!

  42. They are really nice and do stand out!

  43. Your biz cards are awesome. Very inspiring and budget friendly!

  44. They’re brilliant… so personal and love how everyone is abit different too!

  45. I love these, the masking tape gives it such a nice touch!

  46. I LOVE them! They turned out great!

  47. these are awesome! great idea to use the tape!

  48. I *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!).

  49. the icing on the cake is the little notches on the side. wonderful touch.

  50. Wow – I love these handmade business cards by Ellie Snow of the design blog Mint. It just goes to show what you can create with a digital printer, pretty masking tape and lots of creativity. The cards will soon be for sale in Ellie’s shop. Inspiring and adorable…

  51. ^^^ sorry – this links to a feature on my blog.

  52. These are so, so darling! Super cute. Love it, Ellie!

  53. Wow – what a great idea. They look fabulous!!

  55. These are really lovely business cards. I can’t believe they were handmade! We’d love to showcase them on our blog if you don’t mind? We will link back and give due credit of course.

  56. Sooooo absolutely adorable and inspiring to step out a little when it comes to promo.
