Time to share another amazing find on the wonderful world of Etsy. After I finished all my new branding it was time to get a new business card designed. I decide to stick with keeping my business cards square because I liked having something that stood out when I handed them out, the only difference was I upgraded to letterpress business cards. These are extremely nice cards and much thicker than my older business cards, I didn’t want to just stuff them anywhere and I wanted to keep them from getting scratched, bent, or marked up. It was not easy trying to find a business card case for square business cards and then to add to it finding square business card cases that could hold the thickness of letterpress cards. Go ahead try and find some online with google, I spent hours trying to find something that could hold my business cards.

I finally found myself on etsy trying to see what was out there and if anyone offered square business card cases. I then stumbled upon the shop of Kerry Hesse named The Wooden Scribe Pen Works, he had a ton of hand carved items made out of wood. He does some pretty amazing stuff and what appealed to me was his wooden business card cases. The only problem was that all I saw in his shop were rectangle business card cases that were very slim. I was going to need something square and much more thick to hold my cards. So I took the chance and sent him a message to describe the type of case that I was going to need for my business and he wrote me back and told me it wouldn’t be a problem at all. In fact, he told me just to begin by searching for exotic woods that I would want to use and he would go ahead and create it for me and only for $25! I thought I had stumbled upon the greatest deal on earth at this point and couldn’t pass this up! So I started to google “exotic woods” and found one that I liked and he went ahead and carved a custom business card case for me.

If you are in a similar situation and have business cards that are non-traditional sizes and looking for a case you should definitely contact Kerry and let him know what you need. He will be more than happy to create on for you! Here are some images of my case for all of you who are curious. Enjoy!

Technology never ceases to amaze me. How cool is it that anyone can take something they enjoy doing as a hobby and put an online shop up and sell products online to everyone that is interested. Etsy is such a cool place for anyone to get into all sorts of trouble by finding stuff to buy from great people! I have found several things for my business to purchase through Etsy and I have had such great experiences, so I thought I would make a blog post about one of them and if I can find some time I’ll share my other finds!

I wanted to surprise some of my clients with a gift for their wedding so I was doing some research online and trying to gather some ideas and stumbled upon a little shop on Etsy named My Amber Coloured World. Amber creates amazing custom bridal hangers and has done quite a great job building a name for her little shop on several wedding related blogs. She is great at what she does, great to work with, and gets the hangers in your hand as soon as she can!  I looked at several similar vendors on Etsy who offer custom bridal hangers but I was most impressed by the work of Amber so I have been using her solely. If you would like a custom hanger for your wedding day or if you are a photographer looking for a great gift idea, I recommend you checking out her shop and contacting her to place an order. Make sure you give yourself about 4-6 weeks before your wedding, she is popular and has tons of hangers to create!

Here are some images of the hangers in action from some of my past weddings! Enjoy and make sure you let Amber know I sent you over.
