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

One Good Thing: New Paper Goods at Quill & Fox

Have you seen the new collection of paper goods (greeting cards, postcards, lists, and posters) that was just recently introduced by Quill & Fox? I'm particularly smitten with the 'Happy Happy Birthday' and 'Get Well Soon' cards (shown here), but everything Yas creates is so ridiculously lovely that it's difficult to choose. See more from Quill & Fox on their site, blog, and in their shop.

One Good Thing: Wood Veneer Greeting Cards

Aren't these Wood Veneer Greeting Cards from Pompadour Press are ridiculously charming! They're the sort of card I'd want to immediately frame or hang on my inspiration wire if I were lucky enough to receive one in the mail. Pompadour press also makes sweet printed cards, and even some Scratch + Sniff greetings (not yet available in their shop...I can't wait). See everything available for sale in their shop, and more of what's to come on their official site. xo Ez

In Good Company: Fawnsberg

I'm smitten with the beautiful stationery and art stamps from sisters Patricia and Rachel of Fawnsberg. Do you see the little field mice dashing through the wildflowers on the notecards above? Eep! Too cute! Hop over to Fawnsberg to see more from these talented ladies. xo Ez
