INKLING: DIY Stash-Busting Business Cards

Did you see my big news on Monday? I’m going to be joining over 100 bloggers across the United States for a Hometalk & Michaels in-store Pinterest Event.






I’ll be at the craft table in the West Los Angeles store on February 16th from 1:00 – 4:00. You can read all about it here.

Besides some freebie fun chalkboard cards I’ll be giving to the first 24 attendees, I’ll be handing out Hometalk cards and my own cards.

My blog business cards were out of date. They have my old logo and old blog URL. I was thinking about ordering new ones but decided to do some stash busting and make my own. I printed out current information on brown Kraft paper and simply covered up the old information. To give the cards a more current look, I used my rounded corner punch on one side. I also made them into hangtags by punching a hole and adding a little reinforcement and some string.

I made several different types of cards. These were made from some blank bookmarks. I cut off them down to business card size and again used the rounded corner punch. My information is printed out on scrapbook paper and a piece of Washi Tape adds a bit of pizzazz.

For these cards, I used miniature hangtags. The edge of the Kraft paper was created with a edging scissors called postage stamp.

It’s always fun to use up what you have. Plus, I used some of my favorite crafting tools. Edging scissors {postage stamp}, Washi Tape, Kraft paper, rounded corner punch and circle reinforcements.

I made a lot. I’m hoping the jar is empty after the event – wish me luck!

Thanks for visiting my little corner of the creative world.
