I know you love custom business cards and clearly, so do I! Which is why I am excited to share a little biz card project I’ve been working on with online printing resource, UPrinting (plus a giveaway for you – but I’ll get to that in a minute)…
I already have a stack of standard business cards that I use for conferences and events, but I wanted an alternative design that I could include with freebies and packages that are a little more fun and memorable. That’s the whole point of business cards anyway, right?
So I worked with UPrinting and designed a custom die-cut circle card that could pull double duty. I am really happy with how they turned out and the print quality is perfect, even with me at the helm (I am not the best designer and have been known to mess up formats and pixel dimensions in the past when it comes to business cards).
Here’s how they turned out…
And here’s how I plan to use them at networking events and craft shows, etc…
Kind of fun, huh? And speaking of fun, it’s time for a giveaway!
UPrinting is generously giving away a set of custom die-cut business cards (which come in lots of different shapes, not just circles) to three very lucky winners. Yay!
Here are the giveaway details…
What’s up for grabs? Three winners will be chosen to win a set of 250 die-cut business cards for free (with free shipping as well). Here are the details in terms of options for the three winners: 2 x 3.5″ Rounded Corners, 2″ x 2″ Rounded Corners, 1.75″ x 3.5″ Rounded Corners, 2″ x 3.5″ Leaf, 2″ x 3.5″ Rounded One Corner, 2″ x 3.5″ Half-Circle Side, 2″ x 3.5″ Oval, 2.5″ Circle; 14pt Cardstock Gloss / Matte / High Gloss (UV), or 13pt Cardstock Uncoated, on a 6 Business Days Turnaround. Free Shipping for US residents
Giveaway open to US residents only. *Winner/s must not have won the exact same print giveaway from UPrinting in the past 6 months.

I’d love new business cards so I can easily directed new people I meet to my blog and work on building my audience – I love your cards and how they turned out!

I am in need of new business cards, as all my photos I want to use are of a poor resolution. My design attempts using paint.net has resulted in terrible work! I am persevering on building up my business from working festivals and evening markets to a real live henna studio. I love the leaf die cut card design.

henna trails (@HennaTrails)This is so great! I have yet to get business cards – and I REALLY should. My Etsy shop has vintage finds, along with hand painted bags and fabric flower pins. When I go out with on of my bags or pins, I NEVER think to have a business card with me when someone inevitably asks me, “Where did you get that purse?” This would be perfect!

NikkiWhat an awesome giveaway! I’ve been looking into purchasing new business cards recently but just can’t spend the money right now. I’ve made my own in the past but my printer can’t handle extra thick cardstock so they’re kind of thin and pitiful, haha. I would love to have a stack of awesome business cards to pass out at craft fairs!
Thanks so much for the great giveaway! I hope I win! 🙂

Cherryl BallI live on one end of the world. My sister another. We are starting a new business centering around vintage clothes and accessories. It’s going to be a fantastic adventure and great business cards are going to be a big part of it! We’ll use them to represent the collection as hang tags for the pieces and to hand out at events as well.
H.GiselleThe ideas you have seem perfect for us!
Just so happens that I need new business cards since I’ve just started my own business! These are really cute and love the unique size and shape, obviously done with an artful eye.

Indy (@soindywaits)I had a baby in December, and after a long discussion, my fiancee and I decided that it would make more sense if I stayed home until Lily Bear (my babe) is older, at least one or two. In order to make a bit of money, I’ll be opening an Etsy shop dedicated to my little bear. The business cards will be very useful to give out during craft fairs and when I’m approached by other folks who express interests in any of the handmade things the little bear wears.
