I'm constantly finding myself jotting down my blog address on a napkin or random wadded up receipt from my purse for people. I'm also a mommy and always wishing I had a mommy business card... You may laugh now but you will think of this post next time you are digging for a scrap of paper to jot your name and number on for someone. {maybe..lol}
I decided it was time to make my card.
Love, Love, Love these
This is so, so simple and took me less than 10 minutes. Really...it was so simple I almost skipped sharing this.
Keren at Free Pretty Things For You {my most favorite place for images EVER} has a free download of both of the images I used to make these cards.
- Click Here to download the images. Save to your computer.
- Open Picnk and upload the image. If you're new to picnik it is amazing and FREE for most features. {I do have the paid version and it is well worth it.}
- Click on the create tab at the top and choose "text"'
- Type your text in the text box click "add"
- Choose your font and font color. {for mine I chose Love Ya Like A... and used the dropper to match the font color}
- Position and Resize.
- Do the same steps as above for adding your name and e-mail and any other details you would like
- Click "Save and Share"
- Done! Now resize and print {I used my Silhouette SD software to resize to a little under 2 X 3 inches, copied the image and filled up the page then printed them on cheap photo paper.}
See I told you it was easy...And totally cute! Can you tell I'm kinda excited about my cards? It's the little things..... Bye for now and have a great day!
Love these! I need some mommy cards
ReplyDeleteAdorable, I have blog business cards but mommy ones would be great too.

ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you!!! I just opened an account with Picnik & I LOVE it!! So fun & user friendly! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually had someone give me a mommy card not that long ago and I thought it was a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Kelly!! So cute! I need to get this done as well. When you do it in picnik do you have to upload a picture first so you have a background (something to work with) then add the text and stuff?? I tried to go into picnik to create a handout and couldn't figure out how to do it cause it seemed like I needed to upload a picture first so I could get a background. Would love any advice! :-) Great job Kelly.
ReplyDeleteTrina, I just sent you an Elian but in case you miss it. I did my first project In picnik a while back and linked a couple if tutorial where I learned how to nav the site :) I hope that helps. If not please let me know. http://runwithglitter.blogspot.com/search/label/Pinkalicious%20Party
ReplyDeleteThe only way to get a solid layer or background is by covering your photo with a digital sticker.
