While Moo Cards are all the rage, I found that by making my own mini blog cards I could customize both sides and print at a fraction of the cost. I wanted something to toss in my car and purse that had both my work blog as well as my craft & inspiration blog addresses on the same card. Although one of the upsides to Moo Cards is that each individual card can have a different image, that’s not something I needed.For my cards, I carefully placed the narrow artwork 2-up on each side. Ran through Overnight Prints as business cards with a promotional discount code and spent only $10 total for 100 cards. I then cut one or two at a time with my paper cutter. (Tip: once you measure where to cut, place tape on your board to make for faster card placement.) And there it is- 200 mini blog cards. I receive great comments every time I whip one out.
Think of these as little my little mullets- business in the front, party in the back.

Very nice blog!! I'm marking it for my favorites!!
WONDERFUL IDEA!!! Thanks for sharing. The Mullets thing had me laughing out loud for sure!
I may have to use that one myself :-)
These are amazing! I love 'em!
Congratulations Cathe, your mini cards look great.
My two cents to all bloggers: always carry at least a dozen blog cards with you. More if you go to an event. And do not be afraid to give them to people.
This is a wonderful idea! I love the mini mullets!
I saw your blog through Design Mom and have to tell you how much I LOVE it! You have great ideas (which I'm always looking for)!
What a great idea! Since I love to create tags, I made some of my cards and printed them directly on manila tags. http://papercafegirl.blogspot.com/2008/07/artful-networking.html
I love unique ideas for networking.
Wonderful tutorial! I love overnight prints too! I just turned postcards into 2 bookmarks using the same idea you used here.
Wonderful blog too!
You cut those accurately. You're quite the goddess with that paper cutter. They're adorable!
What a great idea!!!
Cathe, you're a genius! I was just about to cut back on my business cards what with the economy and everything, I couldn't have found you at a better time :-)
Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us! Heidi
These are lovely! Thanks for the great tips.
Such a great idea - thanks for sharing! I love mini Moo cards too but they can work out so expensive...
We'll, I'll be forever grateful for this tip ! Thanks. Nice cards 2 :)
Thanks for the great idea! I already make my own tags, but this seems like a quicker way. Plus, I like the idea of the smaller card.
