Pimp my business card!

When it comes to business cards, there's nothing more effective than a well designed, creative and unique card and we're going to give you a few little hints about how to achieve this. This can be done after you receive your cards, as we're going to be talking about modifications that you can do at home to further improve the look of your cards. This is a really cheap and personal way of making your cards as individual as possible.

No matter what your trade, if you can think along creative lines there's always something you can do to your card to give it that individual touch. We suggest that you stop by your local arts and crafts shop as most of them sell great products that you'll be able to use. You can aim for simplicity by adding small stickers or you can really go for it and use decorative card cutters to shape the card to your style.

There are several directions you can take when tailoring your cards. For example, if you're an interior designer and you've ordered 100 cards with all of the important info on, you could separate your 100 into 4 piles of 25 and embellish each pile in a different way so each customer can be presented with a card that reflects their taste.

Here are a couple of our own designs that we'd like to share with you;

Here's a design we did with upholstery in mind. A small piece of ribbon and a matching bow stuck on to the card not only gives a nice texture but it also it looks professional, especially if you co-ordinate your text colours with your embellishments as we've done here.


Getting married and want your guests to receive something a little more special? Add some relevant stickers! Placement of extras can work extremely successfully as demonstrated here.


Cupcake anyone? Everyone likes cupcakes, and how better to advertise your cupcake making with a delicious looking card. We used a Martha Stewart edge punch for this lovely cakey effect!

When the artwork was uploaded, we intentionally added it with a gradient at the top so that when we used the cutter, the tips of our yummy cakes remained pink! There are a huge range of cutters to be found out there to embellish the edges or corners of your cards.

Why not add something by taking something away?

Hope you enjoyed this short post, and we would love to hear from anyone who enjoys modifying their business cards!

Thank you!
