The beauty of being small
I'm going to surprise you by saying that I am actually a very enterprising individual. I know, I know...you couldn't tell that from shop during the last year! I have simply chosen to curb my enthusiasm for business as I raise my young daughter.
One of the nice things about being 'small potatoes' is that I can afford to sit down and hand-cut 25 business cards at a time from my empty cereal boxes and hand-stamp them using my own fun custom logo stamp from www.terbearco.etsy.com.
I love the pigment ink I chose. It's just the right color and sits on the paper rather than soaking in so much.
Well, as often as I give out business cards, I won't have to do this again for at least a couple of months. I'll enjoy this part of the 'business' while I can!

Thanks! I saved most all of our reusable food boxes before we had curbside recycling in our city. Now that we have it, I don't have to come up with so many ideas to reuse them. Now I don't feel badly about tossing them, simply because I know they will get recycled into something else. I do still save the cereal boxes for my cards, though. (It takes us a month or more to finish a box of cold cereal.)

Yep. People seem to get a kick out of it when thy turn the card over.

Thanks, Pete!
If you decide to try it, cut them just slightly smaller than a regular business card to make it easier for people to fit in their business card holders. You know, since they are being made from thicker stock than card stock. Same with ATCs and ACEOs backs. Clean food boxes are also perfect for that, but they are harder to fit in the protective sleeves when they're thick.
Just a tip!
