The Business of Alt’s Business Cards – Best Letterpress, Black & White, and Color & Shape
The business card invasion is still going strong at my house. I have cards coming up the wazoo and I don’t even mind! There are so many beautiful cards and I can’t help but just stare at them. This is the last card roundup I’ll do for Alt 2013 and this one is a doozy. Seriously. There are billions of cards I’m about to show you. Let’s start with the letterpress, shall we?

Although letterpress cards are expensive, they are extremely durable and sweet. Letterpress has always been my favorite print style. Can you see why?
Coasters. Color. Blind impressions. These cards did not disappoint. I’m currently sitting next to them right now and it is taking me twice as long to write this post because I’m getting distracted by the beauty! Crap!
And now the cool and chic black & white cards:
These are for the hip and cool peeps that I wish I was a part of. But I’m not cool. So I’ll just admire these guys from afar. People added gold foil, cute sheepy prints, or just really baller pins. And it totally works.

This one is so lovely. It’s so simple. I die a little every time I look at it.
And now we move on to the fun and colorful cards! These ones make me happy every time I look at ‘em. There’s no rule for the color choice or style you use. These people just went with what described them and it totally paid off. I mean… c’mon.

I can’t handle the color. I am so impressed at everyone who attended Alt and all of the though you put into your cards. Amazing!
The above were some of my fave wooden cards. Yeah. People used wood. So incredible.
And these were one (five prints, ONE card) of the most awesome cards I was given. Tanya Wang from Microsoft blew me away with these baller prints. I mean, seriously! I’m going to be decorating my home with these!
If you gave me a card, just know that it will never be thrown away. I will admire it until the day I die.
so glad you liked the colors and so flattered to be included! loved all the roundups! motivation to start thinking about next year….
I know! I need to get my butt in gear for next year!
Many many thanks for including L&P in this gorgeous biz card round-up, Lexy! I spy a few of my faves are in there (& even some clients too!). I was bowled over by the biz card creativity this year at ALT — yours is included in that category! What could next year possibly bring?? I’m already excited to find out!
I’m overwhelmed just thinking about what people will do next year. It’s going to be intense, isn’t it?
Great round up friend!! Love how you displayed them all – also I’m adding quite a few new blogs to my reader. Thanks!

Love this roundup, kitten! I have to say, I think the VSCO cards and Brittni’s were two of my very faves this year. Simple, but with crazy cool design work. Loved ‘em.
Brittni’s absolutely floored me. I loved it! I loved ‘em all!

Hi Melissa! Thanks for coming to The Hello Social! And thanks for giving me your card! There was so much creativity this year. It killed me. :)
Yay, more cards! I LOVE letterpress cards, they are my favorite I think. And wooden cards?! Omg, awesome. That owl is so adorable. Amazing what people can think of.

Wood. I know. I wanted wooden cards but they were so expensive and the turnaround was super tight for what I needed! Ack!
Thanks for including our biz cards in your round up! It was wonderful to meet you. Hope to stay in touch, and cheers to a wonderful 2013 for all the Alt Summit attendees!

How fun to see them all into categories like this. Honored to be included and – wow I’m in love with those wooden lovelies!
I know! The wooden ones honestly blew me away. I was so in love with them! I honestly didn’t come across a card i didn’t like!
I appreciate that you posted all the links for the blogs! Sometimes its hard to discover new blogs on the interwebs, but this is great!
Anytime, girl!!! The links are the most important part. These peeps need to be rewarded with visitors for their creativity! :)
