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

Such creativity in all of these business cards! How fun and inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Ez!
It was so nice to meet you, EZ! Thanks for throwing my card in with all of these awesome ones!! xoxo
awesome roundup Ez! Thanks for including my card. It was so great to finally meet you in person. xo, ana
What a lovely way to promote other fellows and they are so well organized, loved this post and i am going to explore some of them :)
Igloo Letterpress!!! They're near me! So fun!!! Hope you had fun and learned a lot!
Thank you, Ez!
I had so much fun oogling over the cards and discovering new sites through the links. Thanks for making the effort to include those of us who weren't at Alt! Makes me want to go even more. Maybe next year!
Enjoy the day!

Alt felt like such a whirlwind and I felt like I met so many amazing people. But the reality is I didn't even connect with 1/4 of them! The cards were all amazing! The whole things was utterly inspiring!
Oh girl. Thank you SO much for including my lil' pillow box! Flattered. Seriously. It was so lovely to meet you! I'm sad it was so quick, but whaddayado at Alt? :)
Ez! Thank you for including me + the edge painting which was a nightmare the first few rounds but ended up AWESOME :) It was so great to meet you in real life.
HOLD UP! WAIT A MINUTE!! Me thinks I see my card in the lineup...TWICE! EZ - it was so great meeting you at ALT and this is the icing on the cake...not to mention when you took a photo of my neon orange pumps! Thanks for making ALT awesome!
this is much better than my "stick them all in one shot" idea. applause!
This is always my favourite part of your ALT report! Love seeing all the amazing ideas people come up with for their cards. I'm trying to work on my branding at the moment and I need all the inspiration I can get...so thank you so much for this, it really helps!
Amazing! Can't wait to collect when I go in June - I'll have to step up my game and add some edge painting to my cards; who doesn't love a hot pop of color?
That's beautiful !! Love watching at all the details ! Thanks for sharing !!
EZ! I'm so glad I got to see you for a few minutes during all the craze. Looking forward to seeing our video debut xo
I always love to see what fun and beautiful cards you pick up!
Thanks so much for including my coaster for Somewhere Splendid and the fringe business card for Confetti Pop! They both were labors of love in their own right, so I'm so glad you loved it!
You are so thoughtful to do this categorizing and you are just thoughtful in general! I think these are amazing. For my own branding I was somewhat paralyzed with selecting just one design to represent all that I am. I didn't want to commit to one logo or business card design for life! I finally made peace with the idea and just decided to jump in the pool and go with something!! I designed a logo for my imaginary graphic design business and have to say it came out better than I expected and I am pleased with it. Maybe someday I will take the Plunge into freelance design. For now I will just enjoy these cards that remind me that there is so much creativity and variety in our beautiful world!
SO bummed we didn't get to meet up!
But fingers crossed I will be at the Alt Summit in NYC! How about you?
Maybe I'll have to send you a present in the mail since I didn't get to give you on in person. :)

Absolutely LOVED seeing all of these creative business cards! Thank you for linking to everyone - can't wait to check out each site! :)
Ez, thanks so much for sharing my card! I'm so honored and now I'm blushing :) Mostly though, I truly enjoyed your TIATTY session, it was the best thing I participated in. Thanks for being so fearless!
Umm..... Gifts as business cards?! This is a revelation to me, how amazing! And now I realise I've been an advertising slave for far too long...
Ah, I'm so glad you posted all of these! I am just now in the middle of designing a new business card; these are such great inspiration!
i love this post - great selection of cards!! thanks for sharing!
Love all the business card inspiration - really puts my card to shame. Think it's time to re-create my business card for something a little more fun!
