The Business of Alt’s Business Cards: Best Accessory
I said it yesterday. I’ll say it again. Alt is like the Fashion Week of paper. I hear that business cards were a big deal at Alt, but these people pulled out ALL the stops! It was just crazy! I felt like a collector. I exchanged cards with so many people and you just can post ‘em all in a day! I’m splitting them up into categories and sharing a few of my faves in each. First up today: Best Accessory. The folks above accessorized their cards with paper ornaments, mini sewing kits, tiny animal birthday candles, mini party kits, and more! I seriously died.
Starting from the top:
- Glitter pom – A Ruffled Life
- Wooden spoon – Lulu The Baker
- Game of Life – The Road To The Good Life
- Hexagon earrings – Ardor
- Dyed muslin bag & strawberry candy powder – The Salty Pineapple
- Embroidery Hoop – Engaged & Inspired
- Run Like Hell pin – Freshly Picked
- Fringe ornament – Confetti Pop
- One Little Mending Kit - One Little Minute
- Mini party kit – A Fabulous Fete
- Wooden earrings – Moorea Seal
- Geometric key ring – Melissa Esplin
- Arrow pendant – Oh What Love
- Gilded leather heart – Lovely Indeed

- Film slide – Ravenna Girls
- Friendship bracelet – Ciera Design
- Chocolate pouch – Shauna Younge
- Animal birthday candle – Hank and Hunt
- Paper ornament – Studio DIY
- Balloon-shaped cookie cutter – One Charming Party
Sad note: Ashley from Sugar & Cloth had adorable cards and I somehow didn’t get one! And we were roomies! If you got her card, please send me a pic so I can admire it in a cyber way! They were little kits filled with DIY supplies she uses on a regular basis – twine, glitter, and clothespins! Ah!
There were SO many cards and SO many people. I’m so sad that I didn’t get to talk to everyone. I know I’m missing out on some other awesome cards out there. These are just a few of my faves.
Did you go to Alt? Did you do a card round-up? Link it in the comments! I’d love to see it! I’m sharing all of the details about my cards and how they were made tomorrow. See you then!

Holy moly, I love it!
I can’t get to Alt as I live in the UK and flights are a bit too expensive for me at the moment, but boy, am I loving all of these recaps!
Jade! Hopefully you can make it next year!!! I did see a one-way from London was $490!!! Makes me want to get to Europe!
2013 was seriously out of the park even compared to 2012. Love this grouping – and thanks so much for including us :)
I can’t even think what next year will be like. Peeps are cray with these cards! I may just bring something Pitch-Perfect-themed!
Lexy! This round up is beautiful, thanks for including mine here! And here is a link to the roundup I did – including your card :)

You are the sweetest. I loved your roundup. And I loved how you categorized them! So pretty! Thanks for featuring mine. :)
these are absolutely fantastic. Way to stand out!
I know! The creativity just kills me!
I am blown away! Holy creative people! The wooden spoon?? What!
Right? This is serious stuff.
These photographs are so perfect!! wish we met and exchanged business cards! I will stalk you at the next event and say hello! xo
I know! We didn’t get to exchange! Now that I’m home, I’m realizing there were SOOOOO many people that I didn’t get to meet! #fail
Gorgeous photos! I did a round up too – here it is! :) http://sherisilver.com/2013/01/30/the-business-cards-of-alt/
Loved your roundup, Sheri!!!
Insane!
The only word that comes to mind!
Lexy darling – it was so great to finally meet you in person! You are just as precious in person as you are on my screen. I loved chatting with you – wish we’d gotten to do more of that! xo :)
Let’s just talk about your cuteness factor. You were so sweet!!!
Ah Lexy, I can’t believe I didn’t catch you to give you one of mine! You’ve got some of the best of the best in this post, that’s for sure!
Mari, I’m still shocked that we didn’t exchange! You were on my list from the beginning! It was just such a whirlwind and I felt like I needed to be in a million places at once! Totally crazy! I’m hoping you had a great time, though. :)
I didn’t go to Alt but I’m loving all these recaps and round ups everyone is doing. I’d love to know, how do these accessorized business cards actually get handed out? It’s one thing to carry a stack of business cards but are people lugging around backpacks full of wooden spoons or cookie cutters to hand out with their cards? Serious question!
Dina! So people who had large cards (like me and a few others) carried extra bags with us that were filled with just cards to hand out! I had a purse and then another larger purse to lug around the whole time! I will definitely rethink what I do next year! I was exhausted by the end of each day!
Lexy it’s great meeting you. What a fun category. Thanks for including me. I’ve already started to think about what I would do if there was a next time…
Oh girl. You were a definite fave. You are the sweetest! I have no idea what I’ll do for my cards next time. I’m tapped out…
Ack! I’m seeing so many good ones that I missed! Like the balloon cookie cutter. How did I not get my hands on one of those??
Wasn’t the balloon cookie cutter so great?!? I am making balloon cookies later this week!
I’m thoroughly enjoying these round ups, so many people I didn’t connect with and business cards I didn’t see or get. Thank you so much for including mine in your round up!
Aren’t they the funnest thing ever? I love seeing so many of the unique cards! And you are welcome. Loved meeting you, Eden. :)
Kelly, thanks so much for including my chocolate cards in your round-up! It was great to meet you. I’m still recovering from Alt. :)
