Carnival ticket business cards

 
Last fall when my sister and I were shopping for fun materials, I stopped dead in my tracks when I came across these beautiful sherbet carnival tickets. I didn't know WHAT I was going to use them for I just knew they were amazing and had to be a part of my life. Watermelon, lemon, mint, bubble gum, orange...yummy. Well, I finally figured it out...they are my new business cards.
First, I got a custom rubber stamp made with my info and then I got my stamping game on. Well, in full disclosure, my patient husband got his stamping game on. He's very nice. And loves me a lot.
I thought it'd be fun at networking events (like The Hive in May) to go around with rolls of tickets and then people can choose their color. I ALSO thought it'd be super fun to act as if they were money and I was super rich and took a swim in them like Duck Tales. If only that were true...I'll be sticking the Duck Tales outtakes on the Facebook page.

this idea is beyond cute! That's the kind of business card that will come to the top of the pile again and again (and the ice-cream colors? perfect!)

Very creative and unique business card idea indeed. I have been doing some recent research on creative business card ideas, and for sure your business cards are unique. In this age a lot of people think websites are more important, they put tons of work on their web face and then either disregard business cards, or make fairly generic ones, I for sure want people to know that the business card is very important, people keep good ones. It is easier for me to find a business card on my bulletin board than to remember the name of a business I might be trying to find.
Great blog.

How many cards are in one role and do you think this card remain in some one pocket for a long period?
