Eric Harvey found a great tactile solution to bridge his limited budget with a hand-crafted feel for his business cards, buying from the ready-to-wear card service MOO and DIYing the heck out of it.

Project Description
My goal was to create a high quality business card without the price tag of a boutique print shop. I utilized the Luxe series from Moo.com to gain the rich tactile quality I was looking for and wax sealed each card by hand to add a handcrafted element. Overall, I think this project shows how you can overcome a small budget with a little ingenuity.Post Author
