The Business Cards of Alt Summit 2013
;)
I collected a massive stack of business cards while at Alt Summit this year (yay) and have been looking forward to sharing them with you here this week. Just like last year's roundup, I tried to sort the cards into collections by theme and have included links to each of the cards so that you can discover more from each blogger/business if you'd like. Oh, and you can cick on each image to see the cards enlarged. xo Ez

I love you EZ! :-) But then you already know that! lol. Did you get my "love note" from the Go Mighty party?? Thank you for featuring my calling card! Made my week!!! xo
Hi Ez, thanks for including my Dessert Meets Design business card. I hope you liked the chocolate inside!
oh wow, so many lovely cards!
Oh yay! I'm so glad you did this again. Thanks for sharing!
This is always one of my favorite Alt roundups! I'm glad you decided to share again. I really hope edge-painted cards are here to stay. Love them!
Looks like you snagged some amazing cards this year Ez. The corgi pin is so, so cute! Saw a couple of people walking around with them at Alt.
Ez! Thank you so much for including my card!! It was so wonderful to meet you and this is an awesome roundup!
Hi Ez! Thanks for including my card in your roundup. :) I'm so glad that I found you on the last day!
What fun and unique business cards. This is inspiring me to make new ones!

Looking through all these business card round up posts I can't help but think "Oh I wish I got that one, and that one!"
Thanks so much for including mine and it was so lovely meeting you. Hopefully next time we can chat more! (So hard with so much going on isn't it?)
Thanks for sharing, Ez. You've organized them beautifully, as always :)
Nice round-up, Ez! You are so good at sorting. I started to go through mine, but they ended up back in a pouch. For now. xo
I am in heaven looking at all of these. How fun. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of my FAVORITE posts EVER! I will have the most fun later tonight visiting everyone's sites. As a print designer who also works for a commercial printer I see A TON of business cards come through the shop. Sadly, most are not as exciting as the ones you've featured. The odd shaped cards always get me...they are great to look at but not as user friendly (if you are an organizing fiend like me). The cards with gift are the best, in my opinion...because I am 5 and I like presents/toys. Thanks!
Thanks for including my card Ez! I've got you up on my blog today too. xo
Thank you so much for sharing! As I'm brainstorming about my OEM business cards at this very moment I'm so happy I found your pretty stack!

I work at a print shop and let me tell you, I see a lot of hideous business cards than I do nice ones like these. I wish people put as much effort into their business cards as these people did.
"And Then We Saved" caught my eye out of curiosity as to what it could possibly be, so I clicked the link and absolutely LOVE her header! SO CUTE!! Great business cards all around though, provides some much needed inspiration for my blog and my photography business. Thanks for sharing, Ez!
Wow! Those are gorgeous business cards!! I want some! (I don't even have boring business cards...)
So glad you shared - I hadn't seen a lot of these! Great roundup :)
Eep! Thanks for including Lovely Indeed! It was to lovely to meet you in person.
Kendra, my card is the Dessert Meet Designs one in the squares and rounds category, and let me tell you, working out the logistics of flying with tons of chocolate, hoping it doesn't melt or break in transit is enough to drive anyone crazy. It takes a group as nutty as us Alt attendees to even come up with some of these whacky ideas. My everyday biz cards are much more practical, probably the stuff that makes you yawn. :D
Thank you for feauturing my card! I remember seeing this same post last year after Alt and thinking to myself... "i'm gonna make this happen and go in 2013". I can't believe it all came true! It was such a dream to finally meet you. <3
Love this roundup or cards! The sky is the limit when it comes to artsy business cards.
Haha, what! Oh my gosh, that is a lot of work. You are awesome. Thank you for sharing all of those beautiful cards with us! I look forward to checking out the businesses this weekend! It'll take some time.. :)
