Video How To: Business Cards for Creatives
In late 2018 I rebranded Paper Heart Design in a day. It was one of those things that just hit me and fell together in the most perfect, creative way. When it came time to order new business cards, I thought long and hard about what I could do to set myself apart from other graphic artists. I decided I was going to make my cards myself and that each one would be slightly different. I loved the idea of a business card that was hand crafted and one of a kind. They would each be a tiny piece of art! Check out this quick video from my YouTube channel on how I make them. More detailed instructions and photos to follow.
A custom stamp was decidedly the best way for me to do this. There are a lot of places online that you can order custom stamps from, but I highly recommend Hello World Paper Co. I sent my design files for production and received these beauties...
Once my stamps were in, I gathered all of my supplies. If you’re an Amazon Prime lover like me, check out my affiliate links to all my supplies, listed here. You can find all of these items, or comparable substitutes, at local craft stores as well.
