etsy purchases, business cards, and a giveaway!

etsy has become such a big part of my life that i forget that not all people know about it.


i love buying things that i can enjoy all day by wearing or carrying it around. 
my recent purchases have been this simple and delicate necklace

The Charteuse Room

and this fun purse... it's out of my norm of what i usually spend, but after reading the background behind it... 

"this darling bag was created in honor of our soon-to-be-adopted daughter...who will be named Emery Lin. our hope is that the sale of this bag will help raise funds to bring her home even sooner! my husband, our 2 boys (foster 4yrs, rowan 2 years) and i, anxiously await the arrival of our sweet daughter and sister. thank you for being a part of something so special and dear to us!"


...i just had to buy it!!

i've received a lot of sweet compliments on my purse and yesterday i had a few people ask me about my necklace.  each time i talk to people i tell them that i got it on Etsy and their response is always... Etsy??  i usually start explaining what an wonderful community it is of incredibly talented and creative small business owners.  the conversation usually leads to them writing down the website so they can check it out later.


i got to thinking about it and decided to create an easy business card that i can pass out to spread the word about Etsy.  it has my shop information on it, but i figure they can start there and then spend hours browsing through all of the other wonderful shops.  :o)


here are the cards....

i think it will be so fun to pass them out!

this is the punch i used to cut them out. i bought mine at joann with a 50% off coupon.

here's my giveaway... i'll make a PDF of these cards with your personal information

or with your store and/or blog information

8 are on each sheet.  you can print them out on your own printer and punch them out, or you can just cut them out in a rectangle shape with a paper cutter... each card measures 3"x 2".  


i can make a sheet of the green border or the grey border, or you can have a combination of the two colors... you decide! :o)
