Even though I printed my business cards more than three months ago for my portfolio show, I finally got around to finishing trimming all the cards just a few weeks ago. Normally, the reason would be that I'm really good at procrastination ( usually by means of hilarious Buzzfeed articles like this ). Lately however, work has been steady + I haven't needed the cards so much.

BUT I still love these letterpress, hand-watercolored nuggets just as much as the day I printed them. It's probably because they combine all my most favorite things : letterpress, hand lettering, mustard yellow + polka dots.

These cards were letterpress printed by me on two types of paper—chipboard + a super thick white stock called Crane's Lettra. I stuck with a dark charcoal gray ink for letterpress, then added a fun, custom pattern to the bottom of each card with watercolor. That makes each card truly unique. And am I the only one who loves having different options to choose from? These cards were a huge hit at the portfolio show, which makes me believe I'm not alone in this.

Don't make me pick a favorite card, although the mustard yellow polka dot one clearly wins.

Buzzfeed even has my back on this one ( see #22 ).
