Normally, it would take me a lot of procrastinating to finally make a new design for my businesses. In this case, our yearly participation in a bridal fair, encourages me to create something different from our previous designs. Thus, includes my business cards and leaftlets. 

The thing is… I don’t know if you also feel that it’s easier to design for someone else rather than for your own thing. Because, that’s really one dilema for me… But anyway, since I made more time with my crafting and inspired with doilies lately, I’ve decided to incorporate this with it… Let me share how I did my business cards and leaflets with my craft tools.

For the business card, you will need:

• 2×3-in. calling card design

• A4-size #250gsm coated paper or cardstock

• Printer

• your trustee scissors

How to:

• Simply print your design in a coated paper or cardstock. Make sure your design has a space at the bottom part, so as not to make the card too small than the usual.

• Since, I used a doily effect design, I just cut the curves at the bottom. I would have used another puncher but apparently, the paper was too thick, even for Martha Stewart’s tools. I wouldn’t want to use a thinner paper so I have no choice but to cut it manually.

Now for the leaflet, you’ll need:

• Leaflet design arranged to maximize your paper

• A4-size paper {preferably glossy}

• Printer

• Martha Stewart Doily Lace edge punch

• Cutter or Scissors

How to:

• Print you leaflet design on A4 paper, then cut them separately. Same with the business card, make sure to leave a space at the bottom of the design so no details will be cut-out when you use the puncher.

• I used Martha Stewart Doily Lace edge punch for the bottom part.

It’s just simple right? A little tedious though because we have to produce a lot of this for the bridal fair… So go get your punchers or other craft tools and DIY your own promotional materials. Here’s another round-up from Eat Love and Style for more creative DIY calling cards.
