It only looks expensive
I've received incredible feedback on my business cards. Now, I'm going to share something with you. They cost me $40 to produce. Now, that's just the printing. Since I'm a designer, I don't charge myself for design work. But people are always looking at them, and thinking, they must have cost a lot to produce. But the reality is, I love The Paper Source. They're a constant place for inspiration and new techniques. Now, a few years ago I did our holiday card using wax seals, and while the end result was beautiful, it was a little time consuming and the wax didn't always go the way I wanted. But for my own cards, I found a punch. I printed the cards, leaving space for the mark. Yes, I have to do each one by hand, but for the cost (and the minimal amount of time) I am very happy with them.
