Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for inspiration or feedback on their own business card designs may find the shared experiences and suggestions helpful.

I think most people use one word to refer to the event, and 2 words to refer to someone whose job is to raise money.And a spell checker is only as good as the dictionary it's tied to.
 
Paulette,
Great card - very impressed - I love the wording.

thanks Chris!

Did everything work out OK with your car?

I was thinking of you the whole next day!

I was chatting on here yesterday with a gal from Marlo's cluster. She lives up in Bimidgi.

Small world hugh?
 
I love this card and would be very inclined to steal the design from you, except I just ordered new ones this morning! BTW, where did you find the chef hat with whisk? :chef:

On Vista print. it was in their files with 4 hats in a row. I just cropped it down to 1.

The card started out as bhe blue one with the giant sunflower on it. I just cropped it. I love the advanced edditing tools!

I watched for a decent sale on the Premium buis cards so I could get a better deal. You can do them thru the FREE cards too but you have to pay 9.99 for the advanced editting.

If anyone wants step by step on how to make them let me know....
 
Here is what I am using for mine. I should have shown it before I ordered but it has been shipped, just waiting for them to come in.

Well thanks a lot for the idea. I never knew you could take a pic and crop that is so cool. I stole your recruiting line. I put a referral coupon on the back of mine.
 
Good job Steven

Very Nice Stephen. I really wanted to do the apron but I did not wnat white cards. Everyone I asked for opinions said they liked color or texture in the background. I like the recipe on the back. I was just too cheep to pay more for it.
 
Okay I just started doing this w/ the referral. So I will tell you later on, I am trying to expand on the referrals I get. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
 
Okay, thanks again! I just placed my order, I ended up w/ 1000 cards for $27!

& that's with print on both sides. I received a bonus offer in checkout for 500 more cards at $7.49. Well worth it for me, because I know Merrill does not allow you to write whatever you want.

Paulette thanks for the recruiting line on there, my husband said it was a smart idea:D:D
 
Love your card, Paulette! Thanks for sharing!
