I've mentioned Moo Cards befor and how much I love them as (yes, more expensive, but worth it I think -- the cards are like a mini-portfolio). I looked in my cabinet today and realized it was time to order more. Coming up -- The International Quilt Festival where I'll be teaching several workshops and doing some demos, too. (PS: Shameless promotion_ ACCESS MOO here and you'll give me some credit for my next offer -- and get a promo code for free shipping, I think!)
This is one of my new cards, a detail from "Pond Prayer for Rain."
What's so special? You can choose up to 50 different images or details of images to upload for the front of your extra heavy matt or gloss stock card. And even choose a mini-card or a standard size. I love the weight and substance of these cards. Moo prints your cards and ships them in about a week. I like to let people choose a card -- and think this makes them more memorable and "save-able" than a standard card. The printing quality is excellent and you can also make postcards and stickers from your images. Moo has lots of options now, it has obviously seen success in this venture.
I even glue these cards onto greeting cards and thank you notes to personalize them. Nothing like snail mail to make a lasting impression on a collector, workshop attendee or hostess these days, right? I'm working on a better follow-up system myself this month, as I know I am behind on my gratitudes to many, many of my friends.
If you aren't an artist or photographer, you can use other people's designs! I love Hugh's cartoons.
