Handmade Love

I’ve recently fallen more in love with quality handcrafted things- leather goods, jewelry, hair accessories, typography, you name it, I love it. With that said, I decided to try my hand at making greeting cards. The other day I came up with a few rough ideas of some unconventional but comical ones.

Please note, I said rough. I still have a bit more to go but at least you get the concept. Growing up as the 4th of five children, cards like these  would have been perfect.

Besides those ones I also want to make birthday cards. My friend’s birthday was a few days ago so who better to practice on than her!

Next thing on the “To Perfect List” is handwritten type.

If you have a Pandora, there is no escaping the, “Get your free x amount of business cards for free from vista print!” line. It’s inevitable. However, what is not inevitable is actually taking Vista up on their offer and ordering these cards.

Business cards may be the only first impression you have to make so why not make it a good one? I don’t want to hand some potential employer a card that does not truly represent me. For all I know, 1,000 other people could have the same 2” by 3”.

I browsed a few options and this one was one of my top fave. Maybe it’s because lately I’ve just been loving this whole wood theme. Plus, not to sound like a nerd but the characters ” { ” and ” } ” are seriously one of my favorite. Don’t ask why, all I can say is I fell in love with them about a year ago and we’ve been happy ever since. Regular parentheses just don’t do it for me anymore. 

Anyway, before I talk you ear off, or would be it type your eyes out in this case? Besides the point, just go to Moo
