New Business Cards By INK + WIT
Looking for snazzy business cards that make an impression? One major bullet point that was top priority on my moving list of Things To Do was to order new business cards. I have no clue how or where to do all of this abroad so I figured it was best to get it out of the way before I leave, plus I ordered them in time to share some with my friends stateside so that they have my new address. I decided to leave my phone number off of them, no one calls me anyway unless they know me, most new contacts shoot me an email. Would you like to see my new cards?
A little background on the design: this time I wanted to go for something less traditional than the standard format, so I opted for a 3×3 format on delicious thick white paper, letterpressed in aqua, so that receivers could enjoy the whole tactile sensation that I love so much about letterpress stationery. Plus this will fit into a European wallet quite nicely as they tend to be wider and shorter to accommodate the Euro bills. I also wanted to bring in the butterfly and add some type of pattern to give it personality.
One of my leading ladies, Tara Hogan from INK + WIT, designed these cards for me. Tara has been my official go-to-girl for business card design from the start because she consistently does such gorgeous work for me and work is done quickly so I never have to wait. If you want some pretty business cards definitely contact her — she’s great and I love her minimalist modern design, it’s clean and professional without losing the cuteness factor that I’m such a fan of.
Thank you Tara for your beautiful work!

I also like the elephant-shaped paperclip. Where did you find those? Who makes them?

I LOVE these. I bet they “feel” good in the hands, too. I could feel letterpress ALL day long, as I share your fetish.

Oh how lovely! The details are so pretty. I must admit I’m a little jealous – just got a new business card from my company and it is less than inspiring.

Love the new cards! I just received a business card the other day from a salon that was a 3×3, I think it’s a very refreshing way of doing cards!

Those are super cute! I quite enjoy letterpress myself and toyed with the idea of going that style with my upcoming business cards but it came down to pretty business cards that feel nice in my hand or pretty business cards that also show off one of my photographs. And let me tell you, it was a hard decision!
July 27th, 2009 at 6:12am
Tara Hogan did a very good job for you. I can see why you are happy with this card. It’s a simple but beautiful design which everyone you hand it out to will love and admire.

lovely design, but as a german, i am a little bit confused by the zip code. was it intended to be placed there and not in front of the city name? or is this just for your american clients?
in any case, i love your blog. :-)

That’s a really nice business card! Hope you don’t mind if we feature it on our website? We will link back to you and the designers of course :)
