Hi y’all! I’m back from Alt Summit and trying to get back into the swing of normal life. It was the best, most exhausting four days of my life! While I’m still processing all of the information I took in, I decided to share some of my favorite business cards from the awesome bloggers and brands I met while in Salt Lake City. Since Alt is a conference for creative people, the business card exchange has become a beautiful and fun tradition, now in it’s fourth year. I have linked to all of their blogs so click around if you are looking for some awesome new people to follow, I still have some exploring to do myself!
Black & White: A Pair of Pears / The Hive Studio / Wednesday Custom Design / The Hourglass Files / Pinegate Road / Carrier & Associates / Courtney Callahan Paper
Blue: Confetti Pop / The Land of Nod / Honest / Melissa Esplin / Sharon McMullen / Michelle Edgemont
Coral & Peach: Bunny & Dolly / Tea Collection / The Curtis Casa / You + Me / The Proper Pinwheel / Ciera Design (me)
Black: Citizens of Humanity / And Then We Saved / Foxtrot Press / Donuts, Dresses and Dirt / Estera Events
Pink & Red: Whitney English / Get Married / Michael Miller Fabrics / A Style Moment / Amber Housley / Hitch Design Studio
Lexy from The Proper Pinwheel and Melisa from LuLu the Baker really blew me away with the time spent on their cards. I mean, Lexy stitched together glitter garland for everyone!
Alt set up these boards in the hallway for everyone to stick their cards too, so fun! I was seriously amazed by all of the creativity!
Do you have a favorite card here? Or were you at Alt and receive a super special one? I’ll be recapping different aspects of Alt Summit next week, so stay tuned! I’ll also be sharing the cards that I brought to hand out!

Ciera,
These photos are BEAUTIFUL. You styled them so so so well. Ps. I’m so glad you took the styling class and we met on the last day. Pps. WHY WERE YOU IN THAT CLASS? You are obviously a PRO at styling. Seriously, I’m in love with these photos.
Thanks for including mine, you are the sweetest.
xoxo, Shaunna
Aww Shaunna, thank you!!! Well I guess I have flat paper figured out but beyond that I am lost with styling! So glad we met too, I LOVE your blog btw, it is so pretty – I have been poking around a little bit!
How fun!! Looks like we both did color coordination too 🙂 Also – it’s fun to see different versions of cards that people did. Like the card I got from Michelle Edgemont was gold instead of blue! Too cool. Loving your blog too!
It’s also fun seeing from others all the cards I didn’t get! Really enjoying your blog as well!
Those business cards are BEAUTIFUL. I’m so intimidated when thinking about these and what I want mine to look like! Eek!
my favorite ones were the simple ones, so I say keep it simple!
Love this post! Thanks for including my card! Was great getting to meet you!
P.s. I agree with you about Lexy’s card- amazing!
Oh Anna! You are just the sweetest! I love yours! The gold foil was the perfect touch! 🙂
thank you! It was SO great meeting you too!!!
Girl! You have such a good eye! I love how you categorized each. They look lovely! And I am so grateful that you featured mine. You’re wonderful! Now please go hang that garland somewhere in your house!
Thanks Lexy! Hung my garland last night!
Thanks so much for featuring our card! Hopefully you’ll swing by and join the Confetti Pop party!
No problem Shauna! P.S. I had an awesome time in your photo styling design camp!
That’s great to hear. We were definitely like, “Well, let’s just try not to completely embarrass ourselves…” I guess we accomplished our mission.
Thanks for sharing this! I’m obsessed with business cards (I’m a visual designer) and I’m working on my own card for my handmade paper goods line.
I particularly love tha card with the glitter garland!!
Can’t wait to hang that garland up! glad you enjoyed this post!
Thanks for featuring my card Ciera! It was so nice to meet you at ALT!
