UTAH OR BUST! We are both in Lehi, UT right now attending the oh-so-fun SNAP! blog conference surrounded by fellow creative bloggers. We’re taking time away from our littles and crazy busy jobs as full time moms and although it’s bittersweet to leave them (one of us may have shed tears walking away from the crib early this morning before boarding a plane SNAP! bound…ahem, Kristi!) we are excited to learn more and grow our blog to something even better for you to read and enjoy, we hope!
We had planned to revamp our DIY business cards from last year just to spruce up things a bit but after seeing all the dang cute creativity on on Insta, we were like “ummmm we gotta get our A-Game on!” and decided to stuff these bad boys (er, girls) with something pretty. Take a peek at our newly designed cards….
We designed them in Photoshop Elements (real fancy, I tell ya!) with our updated profile pic. We highly recommend adding a QR code, (where other bloggers and/or blog conference sponsors can easily scan it and take a looksie at your site right away.) We added a cute frame behind it to spruce it up using the font 09 KutUps.
As much as we love Costco and use them a ton for printables, we have to give a shout out MOO- awesome quality and seriously reasonable prices. (Tip: We don’t, however, recommend putting off printing your biz cards until the week before or your rush shipping may be more than the product! Oops! )
We ordered these cute credit card size vellum envelopes which just the whole look overall cuter, right? Now to stuff them with something pretty! We put a yard of color coordinating twine to match our blog brand colors inside (25) 1″x1″ jewelry baggies and filled the remaining (25) jewelry baggies with gold or silver glitter. The other 250 envelopes have a stick of Wrigley’s gum. Although those 250 envelopes aren’t as fancy as the first 50 stuffed envelopes, they sure smell good! (Seriously, we snagged a root beer flavor. Holla!)
Of course we sealed them with some washi tape love. From start to finish (with both of us working on it while chatting and quizzing each other on matching blog names with the correct author names) it took around 2 hours. Not too shabby!
Our cute sister Kate made us coordinating business card holders, tutorial courtesy of Crafty Cupboard, which we love! Can you see the monogrammed “Kristi June” and “Kelli Jane” in the fold? Cuuuuuuuute! Psst! Stay tuned for Sew Dew It’s big debut, coming soon to a blog near you! (;
Oh! We can’t forget our blog conference roomies…. Kelli snagged these cute Hoopla earrings that match Katie, Kristen and Lindsey’s cute personalities. We can hardly wait for the Queen Bee market to get us each a pair! (For those of you who aren’t attending the conference, you can still come to the QB market and shop with us!)
We’d love to meet you so please come say hi and introduce yourself… we’re the only pair of identical twin bloggers here and should be easy to find. If not check Kelli’s insta (or mine) to find us. (:
PS: We had to bring another suitcase just to fit our business cards! Just kidding!
