Painter's Tape Business Card
By DIY Maven
This business card from AGRIE Paint Services is actually painted over. To reveal the contact information, you must pull off the painter's tape. Clever, huh? How the tape doesn't damage the surface underneath, I'm not sure. A guess....the 'tape' isn't sticky, and the paint itself is holding it in place....?
Kirigami T-Rex
By TerryLuv2Hack
I posted this cool site last year and recently returned to it and found that they have added several new patterns. The dinosaur pop-up cards are really cool and they also have full skeletons. It amazes me what people can do with paper and scissors! http://www.easycutpopup.com.
Green DIY Biz Cards
By SustainableSuppers
Hiya!
Just uploaded a post on turning junk mail and old holiday cards into business cards.

The Big Corporate Behemoth under whose employ I once toiled used to take care of that whole networking/printing shazam. But this week, after RSVPing to an alumni function, I was seized by the fact that, yes, Virginia, (a more mundane state) I needed business cards.

Make your own mini Moo-like business cards!
By swelldesigner
I figured out a super easy (and let's just say cheap) way to make my own mini Moo cards from postcards (seen above) that would otherwise be thrown away.
I know you've seen the cute little Moo Cards you can get through Flickr. I just love them so much I got some made a year or so ago and let me just say, they were many a conversation starter! I would show friends or people I just met and each little card I showed them to pick from was like telling » READ MORE
Creative Business Cards Showcase
By DIY Maven
The other day someone asked me for my 'card'. I didn't have any with me, which was a good thing really because I made them using my laserjet printer. Not only are they ugly, they're impractical as the ink wears off after awhile. I'm thinking it might be time to consider making something a bit more exciting. And lasting. A bit of embossing. Colorful paper. Whatever. If you're in the same situation as I and are looking for ideas, take a look at Cr » READ MORE

'Stop Talking' Cards
By DIY Maven
Company holiday parties, family Christmas get-togethers. They can be fun or feel like the seventh ring of hell--depending upon with whom you are trapped in conversation. Designer Alison Riley came up with the polite yet not-so-subtle 'Stop Talking' cards. You can find them at The Cooper-Hewitt Shop for 8 bucks. No word on how many that 8 bucks give you, although it does seem to buy a handy holder. For a quick and cheap alternative, may I sug » READ MORE
Fancy Thank Yous
By lilybeeEtiquette books and grandma's seem to agree 'Score presents... Send thank you card'. It's just nice. Now I love me some stationary, and these fellows right here, from Linda & Harriet are rather swoonsome.
With their elegant letterpressed simplicity and their vintage wall paper lined envelopes, but there's a catch. A $490 catch. Which is, let's see, about half a flat-screen t.v., » READ MORE

How to make a ‘Word Search’ greeting card!
By DIY Maven
Curbly has siblings. One of them is called Teacherly, and, as you can probably guess, it’s an on-line resource for teachers. However, it also has a very awesomely cool FREE feature called ‘word search creator’. Teachers use such things as word search puzzles as, well, teaching tools, but they also can come in handy for paper crafters too. With a little help from Teacherly, here’s my very easy technique for making a one-of-a-kind greetin » READ MORE

Promote Your Curbly Page With Business Cards
By gregoryjohnson
This is the card we are using in Iowa City to promote Curbly. By using VistaPrint.com we were able to get them for just the cost of shipping and handling. I ordered a bunch for the Iowa City Area Curbly Users Group, but plan to order some for myself to promote my own personal Curbly site as well.
If you go to VistaPrint.com be sure to signup for their mailings because that's when you'll get the special offers for other free stuff. Otherwise, » READ MORE
Holiday Card Round-Up
By DIY MavenI few years ago, I saw Martha Stewart fashion a greeting card wreath using a wooden embroidery hoop, miniature clothes pins, a glue gun and a bit of ribbon. I tried it, and although it looked lovely, as all of Martha’s creations generally do, it didn’t hold up well. The hoop was too big and the little clothes pins kept falling off as they lacked surface area for proper gluing. Plus, it was a little too genteel. So, taking my cue from Her Highness » READ MORE
Mantels are overrated: How should I display holiday cards?
By aliciaDespite the lack of snow in St. Paul, I am getting in the holiday spirit. I've been listening to Dean Martin's "Marshmallow World" and started to make my way down my holiday gift lists. I turned my car stereo to the "Christmas Superstation" where it's Christmas all day and all night. Sweet Bruno deals with my holiday spirit magnificently.
We received our first holiday card this weekend, which brings me to my question: Does anyone have a non-tra » READ MORE
