Create Your Own Calling Cards
Thanks to Hooked on Houses for hosting Hooked on Fridays and Fifi Flowers for hosting Fashionable Fridays.
A few months after Miss Petrie was born, I had calling cards made so if we met potential friends, I’d be ready to give them our information. I ended up using these cards quite a bit and we made friends with many of the moms and babies I traded infomation with.
I’ve finally run out of the Moo mini cards I bought over three years ago and I’m looking for a new card design. I like these:
I have sheets of address labels. I thought they could be mini calling cards. I printed up my information. I adhered the address labels to card stock and cut around the labels.
I have a wonderful Stampin’ Up! set of frame stamps. This elegant design is part of that set. I used blue ink and embossed the image with a clear glaze.
I made a set of calling cards for a friend’s daughter’s high school graduation. These make an unusual, personalized gift and they are simple and inexpensive to create.
Have a wonderful weekend!

These are so cool! I could really use some of these with my blog address on it and e-mail to hand out when people ask for it. One of these days I’ll get around to it, anyway…
Have a great weekend!

These calling cards are a great idea!! Much easier to just hand someone a card with your info than to search for a pen and paper to write it on!!
I really like the white & brown striped card. And using the address labels and a stamp is a great way to make your own personalized cards
