embroidered business cards









Given my now full-fledged obsession with modern embroidery and typography, I pretty much yelped when I saw these gorgeous embroidered business cards by designer Nina Gregier. She decided to create the textured cards in reference to her latest project – fuchsia embroidered type. One glance at that project and I fell in love with Nina’s woven letters. They are so full of imagination, geometry and bold colour. Wow. The colours look amazing next to the black paper. Don’t you wish more business cards were tactile and hand detailed? Even the back of the threads on the flipside of the card is beautiful. I will visit Nina’s website regularly to see what handmade brilliance she dreams up next!

I would love to see your handmade work Carol! Perhaps you need to make some business cards in the same style? ;)

That’s so weird, I was just looking at a tweet by Honestly, WTF? and they had added a line of stitching to the tops of their business cards, so cute! http://instagr.am/p/L6A1X/
