If you’re looking for a cost effective way to get some cool business cards made, I’d recommend getting a custom stamp. Then you can make a business card out of literally anything that you have lying around: business card stock, cardboard, letterhead, napkins, anything!
And this is the branding stamp that I would recommend. It’s from MaeMae Paperie and there are four different fonts to choose from. So, there’s plenty of room for your unique personality to shine through. I love this idea. But I want to know what you think…
Is this something you would consider for your business cards?

I had a stamp made of my logo for this very purpose, and I think it adds a great “handmade” element to my business cards. The logo stamp is handy for packaging, too!

Anna commented on February 3rd, 2011 at 7:09 pmWhat a great idea! I just finished printing mine. I will do a post on them. They look like little airmail envelopes.
I’ll definitely consider this idea for the next time I decide to give my business cards a little makeover.

I love the look of a hand stamped business for a handcrafted product. Slick printed cards seem to conflict with a hand made product line. These ones are really cute.

This is super fun…and just in time — I just ran out of cards!

I love that idea . . . great tip.
Kathryn Dyche Dechairo commented on February 3rd, 2011 at 9:24 pmI love it! I’m about to get my own business cards made and was trying to come up with ideas. The great thing about a stamp is you can put it on anything—cloth or paper, depending on your ink. You can also use it for packaging, envelopes, letterhead, etc. Any kind of fun paper is a possibility, even stuff that won’t go through a printer.

Evelyn commented on February 4th, 2011 at 5:24 amFortunately I was able to do it by hand, with my custom stamp

WHAT!?!? Mae Mae Paperie!? Megan is a friend of mine! We went to college together. If any of you are considering buying one of her stamps you should definitely do it. She is very talented and SO sweet.

I would absolutely consider this for biz cards – not only is it gorgeous, but I’d never run out of cards! Win win
Erika Jurney @ Try Handmade commented on February 5th, 2011 at 12:24 pmHow cool are these! The thing is I’d be tempted to go around stamping everything.

i had seen these a bit ago on etsy i think, but your post reminded me of them again! what a great, simple idea for utilizing old scraps of paper (or old work!) to promote. i love the idea.
kaitlyn sullivan commented on February 7th, 2011 at 5:24 pmI love this idea! Much better than ordering “x” amount of the same style card. I like the option to make every one different if you wanted to. I’d definitely consider this. Thanks for the post : )
