Whether looking for business cards to hand out to fellow parents you meet at the park to plan future playdates, market yourself to those in need of your consulting services, share your website or blog, or use as a networking tool, you want cards that reflect your personality.
I’ve recently taken a huge step away from a successful teaching career to apply my skills and knowledge from my previous work to my new love of social media. It’s only fitting that I start my new business out on the right foot and make a great impression with business cards from Tiny Prints.
Tiny Prints produces high quality printed products, has gorgeous designs to choose from, and makes it easy to create a customized card. I considered multiple styles for my new business cards that I’ll be distributing at the Mom 2.0 Summit in New Orleans, using the personalization tool to upload my own images and text. I loved the look of the square and folded styles, but in the end, selected the Refined Band style because they truly allowed me to reflect who I am.
Here are some things I love about my new business cards:
- Space for my photo and blog button for branding purposes. If you’re like me and at events where you meet many people in a very short amount of time, it’s necessary to stand out from the stack. I’ve discovered that I’m more likely to remember an interaction with someone if their photo is on their card. I also included a thumbnail of my blog button on my card so someone can easily tie me with my site.
- Multiple lines of text allow me to share my credentials in order for someone to see my qualifications at a glance.
- Customizable back was the perfect place to put my contact information for future correspondence.
- Striking black and white design is vivid yet leaves space for someone to write notes. I’ve bought glossy cards in the past but will never again since you can’t write on them with a ball point or rollerball pen.
- Heavy cardstock with matte finish feels substantial and professional.
With 100 cards to take to Mom 2.0, I’m already considering ordering more to have just in case. Luckily my design is saved in my Tiny Prints account so with just one click, I can reorder the exact same design.

And did you hear that Tiny Prints is merging with Shutterfly? I am excited to see what this new partnership brings in the future!
Tiny Prints is my business card sponsor for Mom 2.0 and provided cards to facilitate this review. They are also an advertiser on my site but I happily pay for products using my personal funds. All opinions are my own.

Thanks so much, Leticia! I just ordered mine (and SOOO copied you!) 😉 Thanks for the free shipping code. I’ve gotten their products before and they are always beautiful and high quality!
That’s so cool that you can put both a photo and a logo. I’m going to give it a shot, and thanks for posting the free shipping coupon!
Leticia, of course those are totally FAB! And I definitely think you should order at least 100 more! 🙂
