Two New Favorites

Tonight I want to tell you about two new products I've just discovered.  The first are MiniCards from Moo.  What are MiniCards, you ask (I wondered, too).  Half the size of a traditional business card, MiniCards are perfect for showcasing some of your work since you can have a different image on each card.  The front of the cards feature a photo of your choice (either your own image or one from Moo's design gallery) while the back contains your contact information (or whatever text you wish).  In order to promote my blog I designed a batch of MiniCards with five images taken from some of my creations.  On the back I listed my name, blog address, phone number and email.  The process was fun and easy (they walk you through the various steps) and I received my cards in about a week.

To give you an idea of what the front of my MiniCards looked like I used the second product I want to tell you about.  Blue Daisy Designs has created a set of Photo Blog Templates which makes it easy to display multiple pictures here on my blog.  Using Photoshop Elements 7.0 I uploaded the five images I used on my MiniCards and placed them into the single image you see above.  I think this will be a great way for me to show a grouping of pictures for a project without having to post multiple pictures.  I can't wait to use these.  Blue Daisy also has a blog where they offer a free sample of their work each Friday and lots of other products in their Etsy store.  Go check them out.

Two new products that will hopefully make my blog prettier and aid in its promotion -- FUN.
