The business card invasion from Alt Summit is still going strong at my house. While I haven’t come across any video business cards yet, I love this as a unique marketing approach and hope to see some great ones soon. For now, I have paper cards coming up the wazoo and I don’t even mind! There are so many beautiful cards and I can’t help but just stare at them. This is the last card roundup I’ll do for Alt 2013 and this one is a doozy. Seriously. There are billions of cards I’m about to show you. You can check my other business card roundups (best accessory, my over-the-top cards, and recaps) too! Let’s start with the letterpress, shall we?
A few of my faves (from the top):

- Classic Play
- CEEBEE Photography
- Craft Lake City
- Somewhere Splendid
- Alexandra Hedin

Although letterpress cards are expensive, they are extremely durable and sweet. Letterpress has always been my favorite print style. Can you see why?
Coasters. Color. Blind impressions. These cards did not disappoint. I’m currently sitting next to them right now and it is taking me twice as long to write this post because I’m getting distracted by the beauty! Crap!
And now the cool and chic black & white cards:
These are for the hip and cool peeps that I wish I was a part of. But I’m not cool. So I’ll just admire these guys from afar. People added gold foil, cute sheepy prints, or just really baller pins. And it totally works.
A few of my faves (from the top:

I am in love with all the black and white. They are so chic and simple and they definitely make a statement.
This one is so lovely. It’s so simple. I die a little every time I look at it.
And now we move on to the fun and colorful business cards! These ones make me happy every time I look at ’em. There’s no rule for the color choice or style you use. These people just went with what described them and it totally paid off. I mean… c’mon.

I can’t handle the color. I am so impressed by everyone who attended Alt and all of the thought you put into your cards. Amazing!
The above were some of my fave wooden business cards. Yeah. People used wood. So incredible.
And these were one (five prints, ONE card) of the most awesome cards I was given. Tanya Wang from Microsoft blew me away with these baller prints. I mean, seriously! I’m going to be decorating my home with these!
If you gave me a card, just know that it will never be thrown away. I will admire it until the day I die.
