National Stationery Show Recap 5: Business Card Roundup Part 3

I could easily write 14 more posts about business cards, but I gotsta to stop somewhere.

 Here are just a few more that I had to highlight.


Hazel & Violet Ink: 1 color 2 side letterpress

And last but not least, my own:

CryBaby Ink

2 color duplex letterpress, 

{front}

 

Now here's the tricky part, I knew I wanted duplexed back, but I couldn't figure out which paper to duplex with. There was blue velvet, gray velvet, blue rice paper, white rice paper, and some super fun ephemera wrapping paper from Cavallini.  So, instead of doing what most people do and edit, I chose all of them :)

{velvets}

{rice paper}

{Cavallini Paper}

{And a paper sandwich}

probably my fav of the bunch

 

Thanks for playing along, I hope you've had fun...

National Stationery Show Recap 3: Business Card Roundup Part 1

Of course any trade show you go to will have business cards ga-lore. BUT, when you go to a stationery trade show, these little cards don't just to hold contact info, each one is a tiny piece of lovely design you can keep in your pocket.

Here are some lovelies collected from the show this year.


By far, this one from Flywheel Press is my favorite, 2 color die cut 2 sided letterpress:
