Crafting Calling Cards

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I signed up for a real-life scrapbooking class with Amy Tangerine at a local scrapbooking store, Paper Tales.  I’m excited for the class, and I’m excited to meet some local scrapbookers who share my love of this hobby! 

Meeting new people can be a little bit scary and awkward though.  I wanted to make the process as painless and low-risk as possible. So I came up with the idea of a personal crafting calling card. Some cute calling cards with my contact information to give out to people I meet whom I seem to get along with, and would want to be friends with.  It’s pretty low risk.  I give out the card and if they want to come to my blog, email me, or contact me on Twitter or Instagram, they totally could!  And I won’t be heart-broken if they don’t. :D

So I designed these crafting calling cards in Photoshop, using my digital stash from The Lilypad

And I got them printed at Moo.com, because I had heard they have high-quality thick cards, and they allow you to print as many different cards as you would like in your card package. 

A week later, I got them in the mail.

They are every bit as cute as I had imagined they would be!  Here are my six different cards all laid out.  The back of each card has my little headshot, the “I craft”, and my contact info.
