I’m a total nerd when it comes to stationary. I love examining different types of paper and fonts. I remember being so excited when I was promoted at work to a position that required I have business cards even though they were very boring. My very own business card! Whoo hoo! I was living the high life.
But now I need some new cards that have my contact info on them to give to people at the office. And being self-employed, I can decide what my card looks like. I want something pretty but still professional looking. I took a look around Etsy and found some contenders.



So what do you think? Plain border or blue brocade?
Hooray for stationary nerds! I love the letterpress card, but if cost is an issue I think the middle one is best.
The letter press card is gorgeous! But I also agree that the blue brocade is a good choice – very classy and memorable.
I’m voting for the blue brocade. so pretty!
I would choose the first one–I like things plain & simple. It doesn't look cheap to me–it looks very classic & professional.
Thanks for sharing your opinions everyone! It’ll probably take me a while to actually decide and get them printed, but I’ll let you know how they turn out.
