Default when I find one , I'll post it...

my first cards were totally hand drawn on the fly on the way out to Indiana Last Month - and on the back was the notation " A Sooper Special Soovenir Card to commemorate MY Debut at the Parade of a Thousand Clowns". Since they were going to look home-made, I went the whole route, and had my friend's 6 yr old son color in all the flowers by hand, and I stuck on stickers.

The card I got that I liked was like a piece of Monopoly money on the face with of course the clown in the picture portrait, with the more mundane info on the back.

I am going to make my first set of official cards when I return from Missoula in two weeks. So I also am greedy for ideas.

And BTW Princess, about that die cut, it might not be so expensive. Those scrapbookers out there have generated a whole market for die-cutting gizmos. Maybe there is a jester hat for one of those machines and you could die cut your own ... just a clown thought ....

This isn't a card but it is my promo postcard for next weeks activities in Missoula, Montana:


Was too short of time to trim off the edges better from how the printer printed them on the laser postcards - always a wee bit off kilter. There are a gazillion things that didn't quite work out on this, but since I had never done Corel PhotoPaint before, it was OK - for a the first time anyway.

Default Trading cards

Hey to all,

I have trading cards that I use as business cards. They were really resonable, I emailed them my photo and what I wanted printed. They designed and printed 500 for around $100, additional reprints is a little cheaper. On the back with my contact information they left a spot for my signature. At birthdays I autograph them and give one to each child. I'll scan one tomorrow and post it with the companies name to contact. Or today if I can find one, LOL.

Default My card

http://www.luki-loki-clowning.com/images/llbc.gif is the url for my card.

For some reason I am not getting the picture icon (mentioned in the tutorial) so this is the only way I can send the card

Luki, that's a nice looking card! Did you design it yourself?

Does anyone know of a company that will stitch my cards (with thread) for me?

Do you mean you want all the words embroidered? What exactly do you want to be stitched?
