My cards! And the tools that made them…

Yep, I finally got some business cards made up.  I went to www.zazzle.com and designed my own.

They’re standard business card size, cream colored with all my pertinent info on them.   If you’re in the market for unusual, personalized biz cards, go to Zazzle and let your creativity run wild.  You can even upload a logo of your very own for the face of the card.

Here’s mine.  It’s kind of blurry, but you get the idea:

I’m using a different scanner..so that may be why it’s not too clear.  I must read the manual.  Anyway, the hummingbird logo is cropped from my “Two Rubies” fairy…before I painted it in.  Here’s the crop:

Another cool tool I found is something called “cool text generator”.  You can make your own logos.

For what,  you ask?  Well..for your website, or your wordpress blog, or just for snicks!

Here’s a logo I made using the generator.  It’s for my son’s band,  “Along The Parallel” (or “ATP” for short):

Go have a listen!

Go have a listen!

You can choose your text, colors and effects.  Just go here and play around. Then…..

Say you’d like to have a custom-made bumpersticker for your big-ass Hummer?  No problem.  Just make a logo of your chosen phrase or whatever,  & save it to your desk-top.

Then, trip on over to zazzle and upload it.  Tweak it however you want, and there you have it.

(But no dirty words, please.  I will not be held responsible.)

So, there ya go.  Two cool, creative toys for your viewing pleasure.

  1. Cool! Thanks for the links… Another thing I like about zazzle is their chunky card…you could design it to be an ATC back if you needed that kind of thing…

  2. You’re welcome, Donna. There’s SO much great stuff out there. I admit I get excited about tools and things that allow you to be creative and have fun at the same time.

  3. I adore zazzle.com. I got some custom Keds shoes printed through them and they turned out beautifully (in fact, I’m wearing them right now!). Thanks for sharing your secret sites! xxx scarlett
