DIY Business Cards in Design Space (So Cute)

September 24, 2019 by Jav

In this post, you’ll learn how to make business cards on Design Space that can be cut using your Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2. Also, included are steps on making an identical thank you card with your DIY business card.

If you run a Cricut based business, you NEED business cards. They make it SO easy to get the word out about your business. And if you have business cards that you made yourself, you can easily stand out from the crowd. For more reasons to get a business card, check out the bottom of the post.

Before we start the tutorial, just wanted to share what’s going on behind the scenes at Cut N Make Crafts. Well, I’m currently working on another of my side-hustle for luxury cake toppers which is going super awesome. I started an Instagram account for my new business and within a month I now have 2k followers. I’m pretty excited about the growth as it’s working as a motivation boost for me. Usually, I lose interest in ideas pretty quick if I don’t see any changes and that’s one reason I ditched my sewing pattern business because it wasn’t going anywhere after a certain point. Also, I just teamed up with another cake artist for a giveaway and a charity event. YIPPEE! I believe these collabs will be great in getting the word out.

Importance of Business Cards

  1. Business Cards give an everlasting first impression and make you look like a professional rather than someone selling stuff as a hobby.
  2. Business cards are GREAT for building a connection. They give you the opportunity to get your word around without much trouble as someone might just share your card with their friends and family.
  3. You can take your business cards literally anywhere you go and advertise your business there. This is great when visiting an island or going on tours as you can simply hand in your business cards at a local shop to book a deal with the owner.
  4. They’re small but mighty so you can easily carry a bunch of them in your wallet.
  5. Business cards are a great way to show your creativity and make a lasting impact on a person you hand it to.

Why You Need Business Cards

If you’re not convinced about creating business cards for your Cricut business, here are some benefits of having business cards for you.

Now that you know the importance of having a business card, let’s see how you can easily make one using your Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore 2 on Design Space.

Tips for Creating Awesome Business Cards

Before you start designing your new business cards, here are some things you need to keep in mind:

  1. Keep the color contrast in mind. Use a light-colored text on dark background and vice versa. If the contrast between the text and the background is not strong, it can be really difficult to read the text for some people and you don’t want to do that.
  2. Leave some room around the edges to make your card look more professional.
  3. Follow a color palette instead of randomly choosing colors.
  4. Make sure your business card colors match with other graphics such as your logo, tags, and thank you cards.
  5. Don’t change your business cards too often.
  6. Make sure you include your social media handles along with an email address and phone number.
  7. Although you can go crazy with the size and shape of your business cards, make sure they are big enough to easily fit in your wallet.
  8. Use simple easy to read fonts for your business contact information so people can easily read and understand it.

Step-by-step Tutorial for Making Business Cards on Design Space

Designing business cards involves several different steps. Here’s a short summary of the steps involved.

  1. Pick a color palette. This should be the same palette as your logo and other graphics.
  2. Save the color palette along with the color codes on a Word document on your computer so that you can refer to this document in the future whenever you’re designing your business graphics.
  3. Look for images to add to your business cards. You can purchase them on Etsy or grab a free one from pixabay.com. However, free images might not be of good quality. You can also use images from the Design Space library.

Alright, now I’m off to cooking dinner for a bunch of guests coming over our place all the way from Sydney. If only, Cricut could do this for me. 🙁

The other day I drew a bath, popped on my headphon The other day I drew a bath, popped on my headphones, and played Jim Collin’s book Good to Great on Audible.

In the book, he talks about what differentiates good companies from great companies. 

He wrote the book after very thorough research where he studied some of the top companies such as Walmart, Walgreens, Gillette, Proctor & Gamble, Wells Fargo, etc. 

After months of research on these companies. Jim and his team found something truly phenomenal - the secret sauce behind why some companies went from good to GREAT while others didn't. 

And this is something we all can benefit from whether we have a business or not.

He found that the great companies had CEOs that had one common characteristic. 

And that characteristic is humility. 

The CEOs of the leading companies were extremely humble. They never considered themselves as something of a big deal despite the fact they were CEOs of multinational companies. 

Now how can we apply this to our lives?

You see, being humble also means accepting the fact that I’m not the best and it's okay if I don’t know everything. 

Once we accept this fact, we open the doors to life-changing opportunities. Our approach changes and we start looking at things in a completely different way. 

And this ties in perfectly with crafting and running a small business. 

When it comes to crafting or running a business, we tend to overlook that learning phase. We just don’t want to take the time to learn something. We're just not ready to accept the fact that we need help and most of the time it's because our ego takes over.

Every skill has three phases: 

1) learning 

2) practicing 

3) mastering. 

We often want to skip the first two phases and immediately want to jump to the third one. 

Like OMG I just saw this project and I just got Cricut and I’m gonna make it right now. 

This is good.

However, sometimes this mindset leads to failure. We get so caught up in attempting the project that we overlook the basics and end up frustrated.

The same concept applies to starting a business like an SVG business. 

We want to skip the part of learning to design (contd in comments)

Sharing SVGs or asking for SVGs that someone purch Sharing SVGs or asking for SVGs that someone purchased is unethical.
.
Designers put their heart and soul into creating designs. They have bills to pay too. A majority of the designers are stay at home moms who are working from home to support their family.
.
By sharing their designs for free in groups, you’re stealing from them, you’re stealing from their family.
.
The correct thing to do is to share the link to the shop or the website where you got the SVG from. So the designer can benefit. 
.
Everyday there are new pages and groups popping up sharing links to Google drives with SVGs or sharing SVGs in threads which is wrong at so many levels.
.
Please educate yourself and others so everyone can benefit 💕
