blog me (maybe).

like a week before blogger blitz chicago on july 15, i suddenly realized i didn't have a blog calling card to pass out, so i made quick work of making some up.


{i started with ordering a couple of personalized stamps from rubberstamps.net.  it was quick and relatively cheap - and you just upload the images you create.  i downloaded the respective font for free for the script and used alexandria for the blog contact details.}


{the stamps came out beautifully, far better than i was expecting even!}


{i ordered this awesome white chalk ink pad from amazon; it ended up covering so well}


{my supplies: stamps, ink, twine + black cardstock}


{cutting 3.5" x 2.5" tags}


{cut the corners off .5" down}


{hole punch each}


{and start the stamping!  when you stamp, make sure you try several on scrap paper until
you get the hang of your stamp; each has its own quirks}


{waited until the front side dried, then stamped the other}


 {added a little sparkle with olive manna twine}




 {finished product}

very happy with how they turned out!  next time, i'll try not to wait until the very last minute to throw these together ;)

  10. These do not look last-minute or homemade at all. I love rubber stamps and embossing and all things related. I did all my wedding programs by hand this way and got so many compliments!

    I am a little perplexed why I didn't get one of your cards at the Blogger Blitz! Perhaps we'll need to plan another meetup soon with everyone.
