Sometimes I get into these really crafty moods and having Pintrest increases that desire to craft. I came across this DIY watercolor business card that I absolutely loved! From there I knew I was going to have fun with making my business cards and create them myself, yes I knew it would take more time to hand make everyone, but they are so unique and fun that I just had to do it. Thankfully I already had a set of basic watercolors, watercolor paper (which adds some fun texture) and some brushes. But I will be needing to buy some more paper, as I've now used what I have up. The next problem was trying to figure out how to get a stamp of my information without spending a load of money. I then came across this blog telling me I could find the wooden stamp at Staples. Martha Stewart also has one similar, but I asked a question on Amazon and someone replied back saying the little letters didn't stay well. I like the stamp set from Staples, the only think is I wish it was a little bigger so I didn't have to use the smaller one to fit in all the information without looking so crunched. Next I wanted to add a camera stamp to quickly identify my cards as a photography business. I searched for camera stamps, but wasn't liking the price nor finding the size that would fit what I needed. So off to look for hand carved stamps which I found a simple tutorial on YouTube. This was fun to make, I want to make some more stamps for fun, especially since I have more rubber to use up. After I had all the pieces, it was just a matter of putting them all together. I still have some kinks to work out, eventually I want to change my site and take out the weebly part, which is a reason why I didn't want to buy already made cards. The thing I love about these is that each card is different, even when I try to do the same color combination and make it look the same, it still comes out different. Would you make your own business cards (if time wasn't an issue) or do you prefer to just have them professionally printed?

Welcome one welcome all to my weekly blog postings where I plan to talk about my photography sessions, my weekly photo assignments through My Four Hens Photography Project 52, or any other random photography related subject and maybe even a random non related subject from time to time.
I'm excited to start this journey of blogging about my photography, I'm hoping it will bring about new learning experiences as I find things to improve upon and grow more in every aspect of my photography. I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. I know there is so much to tell about, but I'll save that for future posts. I hope that you will take some time and browse more through my photos on this website and even on my Facebook page Kristina Ebert Photography. I also have a Pinterest page that was originally started as just a place to find and collect posing inspiration for my first boudoir photoshoot. Which was a lot of fun to take, but I don't my idea space to pursue it more. If you like my photo style and are in my local King County area that you will think about booking me for your next high school senior session, family, baby or kid sessions. I would love it if you were to leave a comment below (who doesn't love getting comments) telling me about what type of photography session you need to schedule. Or if you have any questions for me that you would like me to answer. |
