Beautiful Business Cards with Miranti

I’ve had business cards on the brain lately! For some reason getting business cards has been a task that I’ve been putting off but this week I’ve (finally!) been looking into getting some of my very own.

It can feel like a rather daunting task to try and figure out how a tiny two-sided piece of card will represent you, your business, and your brand. Your business card will help others determine how they view you. You want your impression to linger long after your conversation has ended and you want that impression to be positive and a accurate representation of what you do.

The good news is that there is no shortage of beautiful business cards on the interwebs to inspire you! Here are some of my favourite business card designs for your inspiration. Enjoy!

All About Envelopes (with Miranti)

Picture this… you pen your loved one/bestie/mama the cutest note written on the most darling note card. Then… you chuck it into a standard white envelope. Oh dear.

It just doesn’t seem right does it?

But have you noticed that there are actually some crazy-gorgeous envelopes out there at the moment? Long gone are the days when envelopes were the plain Jane bit of paper that housed the star of the show. Envelopes are the bomb! They come with lovely illustrations, to-die-for lining, and beautiful bold colours. Now your addressee can be wowed before they even open your darling note.
