Are you here from Problogger’s site? Well, I’m pretty stoked that you’re here! If you’re like me and can’t get enough blogging and social media tips, then take a look around! I do weekly critiques (soon to be Page Critiques), write about things like reasons no one follows you on Twitter and even run an online content planning course called Content Brew (which has sold out every time so far!). Thanks for visiting my little neck of the Internet woods and on with what you came here for…
This is the final post of my Bloggy B-Card Series! If you haven’t yet, be sure to catch up on the other posts: What to Put on a Blogger Business Card, If That’s Your Business Card, I Can’t Wait to See Your Blog, Seven Trends in Blogger Business Cards and QR Code Ideas for Business Cards.
Drum roll, please…. it’s the ginormous, fantastic, awesomesauce blogger business card showcase!
All of these cards were collected at the Type A Parent Conference. As much as I would have loved to include even more, my hand is about to fall off from the scanning, cropping and other nonsense. Nevertheless, there were SO many great cards to chose from. Really.
I based which cards to showcase here on things like design, content, general layout, size, ones that made me smile or sometimes all of the above. Some are custom designed while others were built from a template, which also means these range in cost as well.
Get your scrolling finger ready to scroll through all these cards. Hope you grab some inspiration!
Be sure to get to the end… there’s a list of places you can order business cards. Boom.
Single-Sided Cards
Mommy Wants Vodka (it’s a clear card)
Double-Sided Cards
Momcomm & Adventuroo (hey- that’s me!)
Wendy Piersall (eMom)
Folded Cards

This list is great! I’ve sometimes thought about having a business card, but then I stop and wonder if that would be odd (I’ve only been blogging for 3 months). Now that I’ve seen such a wide variety of types of cards, and the varying purposes, I think it would be fun to have one made. It would definitely make the words “I have a blog, you should check it out ” easier to communicate to the people I meet who would otherwise need to MEMORIZE the blog address. Thanks for putting this list together, it must have been time-consuming!

This list awesome! Thank you for taking the time to put it together! Definitely glad I’m going with 2 sided cards after seeing these!
This is an amazing collection! I love the variety and different styles people chose.
Thanks for a great week of b-card info!
And, psst: I can’t get the affiliate links to work.
Glad you liked all the info this week! Thanks for noticing the affiliate link error. I fixed them!

I’ve loved your bloggy b-card info! Thanks for posting mine on here… such great cards!
Thanks for featuring my card! Now I have lots of inspiration to make it even better….thanks
Thanks, Melissa! Seeing my card up there makes me really wish I had changed the header (to match my current one). Having said that, I really love the way Tina from Life Without Pink made hers! Those are so simple, yet beautiful! Love the two fonts of her name.

Thanks so much for doing this Melissa! These are all awesome eye catching cards! I will be linking to you today because I think this is an awesome series that bloggers can use! Thanks for sharing mine on the list! xoxo
What a great list!! I can’t imagine how long it took you to do
I love that you featured them all. After listening to the speakers at Type A, I regret making mine shiny on both sides. I am going to go with a Matte finish next time so people can write notes on my card 
That being said, I really loved the cards with people’s faces on it vs just a logo. Makes it so much more personal
I love seeing all the different styles and creative ways people have put together their cards (I especially love seeing mine there LOL!). It’s inspiring!

Great list of cards! I really wanted to do a post like this after BBCBOS, but I just couldn’t find the time to scan and upload all the awesome cards. There’s lots of inspiration here for sure. I can imagine the amount of time you spent scanning, cropping and uploading these bad boys for us to see. Thanks!

I love this list! I never would have thought there
could be such a variety of sizes and shapes.
Awesomesauce, Mel! But now to narrow down my decisions!
Thanks for this series!
I LOVE my blogger business cards. I got mine from Vista print, but they’re fun and sassy like me. Bright turquoise with a zebra print and it’s vertical instead of horizontal. I liked it so much, I redesigned my blog to match. Hey, ya gotta have fun with these things!
Whew! Now I’ve seen the finished product I think I did a pretty good job with mine. This was a great series. Thanks for putting all of this information together.
Great idea for a post, Mel!!! love it!

You are so bad ass for doing this! It was great meeting you the last day at the conference! Wish we could have talked more. Are you going to blogher? I think you said no but i can’t remember now. life is a blur lately. Anyways, I LOVE mommywantsvodka.com’s card- its by far my favorite card . I didnt get some of these at the conference, so im writing down twitter handles <3

so many great blogs, so many great cards! the time you have put in getting all of this together is appreciated.
Great post. All of these! I’m ready to get going on some cards. Thank for doing this series. Pretty sure you just saved a lot of people a lot of time and $$.

I stumbled on my design by accident. Was pleasantly surprised at how well they turned out considering how much I paid. Got mine at Vista Print. I remember when cards used to cost A LOT more. For 500 I paid less than $30. Can get fewer features and smaller amounts for even less. If you are considering it just do it!
I wish I had picked up all of these cards! I only got about half of them.

All ready for BlogHer.

Thank you SO much for this great post! Found you just by Googling, but I needed help big time with some ideas for writer/blogger biz cards before I head to a writer’s conference next week. Ordered from UPrinting per your link. Loved seeing all the cards here! So much personality shining through. Can’t wait to have mine in hand!
Thank you–having all of these examples was a huge help in getting together a business card for the first time!

Ooooh, what a cool feature. Thank you! I have been wondering what other people give out. I am going to blogher for the first time for my first ever blogging conference. I think I’ve got a good card but might make a few tweaks based on this post before I print!

These cards really show the personality of the bloggers and websites. I had never seen the fold out style before. I don’t think I need a business card yet since I am a new blogger but I’m saving this list for one day when I do.

Interesting collection of cards here. The photos on some of them are a hoot (raw chickens, ice pops… nice!) The rounded corner and leaf shapes really stand out as well.
Business card designs are simply nice. Good collection.
there is a really awesome sote for all your advertising needs. we have very nice busness cards try printsforcents.com or email me at jjustintime88@aol.com with any questions you may have.
Wow, these are wonderful examples! I’m very inspired to get some cards made now, and your suggested sites are very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

I really like this business card displays. Can you tell me which particular dollar store you found this at? Maybe I’ll get lucky and not have to drive to more than one. You should put the same time and energy into designing your business cards that you put into designing a website.
These are some pretty cool and interesting business cards. Business cards are a way to advertise your business so make sure you get the right look that send the right message for your company. It is all about branding!
Is there any company that will avail same day printing for business cards ? Free Business Cards
Not too sure about most of those. Like the bandbacktogether though. Maybe some more swiss design would be awesome here, with minimalist simplicity. Stacey Nerdins is pretty much like this and I think it looks pretty awesome!

Great post…. has given me some inspiration to design some new business cards…..
Ours are pretty boring compared to these right now!
Many thanks,

Nice collection of cards. I like the business cards with pictures of the bloggers, especially the evolving mommy theme is very attractive. The simplicity and color combination of tech mamma is impressive. These cards will help others to create their own attractive business cards.
