I was running low on business cards, so I ordered some new ones a couple weeks ago. I decided to try my hand at a little bit of graphic design and make the cards myself in Photoshop Elements. I’ve ordered from Moo.com in the past and have been very pleased with the quality, so I decided to order from them again. They have a handy photoshop template that you can download to help with the process of designing your own business cards. They also have lots of pre-designed templates to choose from.
Here is the result of my efforts:
The colorful design is to give out as an accompanist or when attending conferences with other teachers. The second design is for my piano studio, to give to students/parents.
The QR codes on the back of the cards lead to my websites. I generated them for free via this website.
If you’d like to order cards from Moo.com, you can use this link which will give me referral credit and give you 10% off your first order. The cards from Moo aren’t cheap, but the quality definitely shows: the paper is nice and thick, and you’ll get two-sided cards. I’m a happy customer! 🙂
I like the idea of having two different sets of business cards… it keeps life organized and you’ll always know how people came to you by looking at the business card! 🙂
A reminder that I need to update my cards. Thanks for posting this, Joy. I’ll check it out.
Very nice! I ordered previously with vista print and wasn’t happy with the thickness of the paper. I might try next time the company you use.
Hey Katarina, moo is super great! I don’t work for them but they’ve been around for a long time and they’ve always delivered great quality. Plus, who wouldn’t want 10% off? 🙂
^ I don’t have a promo code for you but do use Joy’s link above! 🙂
Joy, you inspired me. 🙂 I decided to design business cards too, since mine are so old & worn out visually. I posted an entry about it here… http://musicstudioblog.com/2013/04/24/business-cards/
Thank you for sharing about Moo.com! I wouldn’t have ever found them, and frankly, I’m tired of the other options I’ve tried out there. I’m excited for my order to arrive. Are you still pleased with yours?
Thanks!

Very nice! Yes, I’ve never been disappointed with what I’ve ordered from Moo.com. 🙂
I LOVE my new business card design. 🙂 I have been using the notecards & postcards as well. I like the color combination on your cards, of the brown & blue. Those colors always complement one another – and attractive business cards are so much more likely to stay in the open and on hand than plain, sad ones. 🙂 Took me many years to realize the benefits. Thanks for getting me started with Moo.com! They also have EXCEPTIONAL customer service.
I updated the link to my post about the Moo business cards. Thank you for sharing your ideas! 🙂
