Calling Cards - Sports Collection






While still in its infancy, the sports collection of calling cards is a great gift for kids and adult sportsman alike. My brother, a grown man, has a set of the basketball cards and tends to use them frequently.

Popular in the 1800s, personalized calling cards have made a great resurgance in popularity. They are the perfect card for situations where a traditional business card would be too formal, but you will wish to give out your information or let someone know you stopped by.

Alternatively, they can be included with a gift in lieu of a card, or included with a small package when a traditional card doesn't seem necessary.

Moving Cards - Mappin' Mover


At my age (late 20s, don't get too excited), my friends are on the move often, many buying their first homes or transferring for jobs, spurring my new moving cards design. I'll be posting more over the next few weeks, so check back -- there is sure to be the perfect one for you!

The Mappin' Mover is the eco-friendly moving option, with the base a 100% recycled card. Mounted on the cover is a clip of an online map of your new area, with a star marking your new address. The inside is a message in typeset font, where you can inform your guests of your new address or invite them to a housewarming party or open house.

Moving Cards - Second City Skyline


The new moving cards collection continues with the Second City Skyline, featuring a 'hanging' work of downtown Chicago. As we are a Chicago-based company, this had to appear in our repertoire.

Shown, this moving card is mounted on a teal shimmer backcard with a scallop-cut border. You can opt for any of our cardstock options in flat or shimmer materials in any border cuts to truly personalize these cards for your big move!

The paper used (from bottom to top) was Tiffany Blue Solid with Bright White Solid on top. They were custom cut into a scalloped edge for a little personalization. They are also available with straight edges or rounded corners.

Moving Cards - Tiffany Stripes


Moving cards are becoming increasingly popular, as an e-mail saying "we've moved" just doesn't have the same flair and personalization. The Tiffany Stripes card has a little flair with the quip at the top, which can be altered to perfect your style.

The paper layers (from bottom to top) are Aqua Lagoon Metallic, Black Solid, and Bright White Solid. Over 80 paper colors are available to customize this product!

Turquoise is a hot color this season, and a happy little color, as far as I am concerned. As with all of our products, the colors, fonts, and layout can be customized to be a moving announcements or housewarming invitation that says 'you.'

Calling Cards - Scroll Fruits Collection


I designed the scroll fruit collection first in a set of calling cards to test them out and see how they rate among my customers. With Spring finally here, they seem like a cheery gift you could give a hostess or friend who deserves a little something.



As with any of the calling cards, you can customize them to add names, address, e-mail, phone, or any other information that you'd like. I have many customers who use them as a nice spin on traditional business cards as well. You can order them as squares, or wit h rounded edges for an additional charge. Check out the full collection below and order yours today at http://www.blisspapers.com/.
