Call on Me

After traveling to Des Moines and having nothing but a spare Post-it to write my contact information on, I figured it was time to get my own business cards. After all, who knows how long it will be before I get a real job. I couldn't stand the idea of getting some run-of-the-mill cards from Kinko's or something, so I took a bit of time this afternoon to shop around some letterpress sites (twist my arm, really). I figured I could "gift" myself some personal letterpress since I love it so much ... besides, a creative field deserves creative cards, right? Here's some of what I found:

I love the vintage typewriter (the exact replica of the typewriter I'd actually like to find!) on this style from blackbird letterpress:


Also loved the classic style on these cards from Dolce Press:


These, though, were my favorites, from Brooklyn Social Cards (via Design*Sponge):



In the end, my budget wouldn't let me spend too much (most of these were upwards of $150 or $250 (!) for 200 cards), so I counted myself lucky when I found The Mandate Press's cute and relatively inexpensive letterpress calling cards. They're just $95 for 250 cards.

I'm now the lucky recipient of these, The Femme Fatale:


Love 'em.
