GDP 045: My New Business Card

After playing along with the Global Design Project yesterday, I realized those were the colors I wanted on some new business cards for my Stampin' Up! business, so I'm playing along again today.  





I've done something like this before when I first started in this business over 2 years ago. (Click here to see the first one I made) I adore the matching envelope made from the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper. The matching envelope took under 3 minutes to make using the Envelope Punch Board. ***Side note: if you are a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I did speak to the company about this card and I am in compliance, just in case you want to make your own.*** Edited: I've had so many questions regarding this card, I wanted to give more detailed instructions.  I downloaded the logo from the Stampin' Up! business site for demonstrators. Uploaded that logo to Vista Print and completed the rest of my information. I left the card blank on the left side, so I would have room for my stamped images. I chose matte cardstock. I did personally OK this with Stampin' Up! but would always encourage other demonstrators to contact them regarding their specific uses of the logo, etc. 

Supplies used:







From July 7th-31st, for every $50 you spend on Stampin' Up! products, you'll receive a $5 Bonus Days coupon that you can use towards a purchase between August 2nd-31st! Buy now, save later! 

Please use the hostess code shown in the top right corner when ordering online, unless your order will total $150 before shipping & tax. At that point, you become your own hostess and get all the rewards! 

As always, let me know if you have any questions about the project or the products used. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Artfully Yours,

Kim

  2. Looks great! Why did you think it may not be in compliance?

  3. Kim, I'm sure you are getting hundreds of inquiries on this - - it is gorgeous! Would you mind sharing how you went about creating your business card? Did you print yourself or have printed professionally? Stamped on each one or copied image to it? Did you use any particular program if you created them yourself?

  6. Hi Kim. Thanks for the super idea. I ordered some cards from Vistaprint but I can't seem to get the ink to dry (even tried heat gun but still smear). The second batch I ordered were signature matte and same result. What did you order?

    1. Jo-Anne...I used the regular matte. I wonder if they have changed cardstock? I'm so sorry it isn't working out for you. I have also used the ones you print at home and ink dries instantly on the cardstock from Avery.

  8. That is an incredible business card, and it hits all the right spots for me. I like the pop of color on the left, and the writing is nice and clear. Matte finish is a good choice because I really don't like cards that have too much shine on them. Best of all, this card makes me want to call for a demonstration.

  13. A business card is the face of a business. Because a business carries all the information about the business. Anyone can know the primary information about a business by seeing the business card. But the design of the business card should be beautiful and the printing quality has to be good. Otherwise, the business card will not able to attract the audience. Business card printing Melbourne

  19. As stated by printing company in Parramatta, business card acts as identity for your business, therefore professionalism trends and inspirational moto must be main theme of the front side. Avoid describing your business card but you should add tag line which elaborate your firm in minimum words and choose radiant color and pleasing designs.

    Free Parking Software for Town Houses, Condominiums, and Businesses Solves Parking Problems
    Searching for a parking space is such as frustrating routine activity for lots of people in cities all over the world. This search is burning over a million barrels of oil of the world each day. There are also 4-parking spaces every vehicle in the US and almost all streets are most of the time, empty, which leads to urban environments that are ironically doing far more to accommodate the vehicles than people. As the global population continuously urbanize, without a convenience-driven and well-planned retreat from cars, these sort of parking problems will worsen.
    http://webparkingsoftware.com software is the first step in the right decision. It involves using low-cost sensors, mobile phone-enabled, and real time data collection automated payment systems enabling people to reserve parking in advance or predict accurately where they can find a spot. When deployed as a system, free parking software thereby reduces car emissions in the urban centers by means of reducing the necessity for the people to circle the city blocks needlessly searching for parking. Furthermore, it permits the cities to manage their parking supply carefully.
    This free parking software is now being developed in many different states and cities around the United States and some other countries. For instance, in LA, smart meters and low-power sensors are tracking the occupancy of parking spaces across the Hollywood district, one of the most congested areas. The users will be able to access this occupancy data in order to determine the availability of the spots and then pay for them with their mobile phones. Other than the environmental benefits and lending convenience, free parking software is improving the utilization of the current parking, which lead to greater revenue for parking owners.
    These programs will be able to make great differences on a neighborhood level, but more widespread development and deployment is necessary for free parking software to change the cities and to contribute to the transportation sector pollution reductions greenhouse gas. One problem is that there are no citywide solutions all over the fragmented private and public parking providers. The occupancy data has a tendency to have many owners and is not accessible or standardized in a way that may enable software developers to turn into user-friendly applications. Thereby, individual smart parking efforts are so far successful locally, but uncoordinated, and operates in their own entrepreneurial or bureaucratic vacuums without a need to take gap between current free parking software and more widespread transportation system planning is an enormous missed opportunity for the cities to reduce the transportation related emissions.
    Moreover, free parking software has been hindered by a lack of insight into the complete benefits of this software, specifically when compared to the cost of building extra parking spaces. Lack of collaboration between communities with the parking software programs, as well as lack of coordination between hardware providers, municipalities, and developers is also contributing to the slower adoption of smart parking. Nevertheless, it is possible to overcome all these issues. Cities will be able further accelerate these advantages by means of updating the land use and building codes policies to reflect the reduced need for parking.
