These might be the best business cards I've ever seen. Not only am I loving the huge angled typography spilling over the sides of the card, these are stamped by hand! And you know how I adore rubber stamps! It's such an affordable option for small businesses. You could use this stamp on letterhead, thank you notes for customers, mailing envelopes, retail bags for craft shows, the possibilities are endless. I have plenty of blank cardstock in a variety of colors so I think I'm definitely going the rubber stamp route for my next set of biz cards.
I'm right there with you! I just ordered a stamp for my new business cards from Etsy.

The idea of stamping business cards by hand could be nice if you're doing a small batch of 50 or 100. But, realistically, one hopes to go through a lot more business cards than that, so stamping doesn't make much sense to me. Also, for small type, like the contact info in the above example, how can you prevent smudging when you stamp? You'd have to do it perfectly each time.

We're right on the same page Shannon-- last week I just designed and ordered a rubber stamp for my next round of cards! I love that even my business cards can utilize printmaking on a small and convenient scale. I already have a simple stamp with my shop address for merch bags and I love using it! I can whip out a batch of 200 or so in around an hour, so I don't anticipate biz cards being too much work. My plan is to screenprint on cardstock, cut it up, and then add the stamp for a nice layered affect. To address the last comment, I'm going with a self inking stamp to keep the text nice and crisp each time.

Miss Natalie: I think alot of small businesses might not go through biz cards too quickly so doing, say, a batch of 50 each month, might be enough for a new biz on a budget.
also, i like the imperfections of stamping so I wouldn't feel pressure to be absolutely perfect with every stamp, as long as the text is legible and neat, small imperfections wouldn't bother me.
