Not sure if I posted it somewhere that I had plans and ideas for our blog..well I did bounce off the ideas to my brother Phlebas and some friends, and one thing they said in common is if I am serious of pursuing it I should have a card for our blog.
Well, this got me thinking, it will not only be good for the projects that I am planing but it will also be useful when I attend some bloggers event.
That's it I decided to design our card...then I got stuck...the design I had was boring hahahahha. I want to put a face to Miss Chuchubells thats not literally me, toink!! I could cartonize myself...
Having said that got into my lappy and googled cartonize and what ever words that i could think off and actually tried some online freebie sites...sad to say I failed or was not happy with the result.
I came across Fiverr last year and I've been browsing their site every now and then..so last month I decided time to cartonize myself and let someone do it for USD 5.00 which I think is reasonable.
Oh, you could create an account using your Facebook or Google+ account.
After browsing through several accounts,found 3 artist,
Contacted them and sent them 2 photos of mine.

Overall my experience in using Fiverr is great, will I use any of their services again?? Of definitely for the projects that I have, will need help hahahahah and the price is so affordable.
Now my dilemma is what should I use for our calling card? Please weigh in your thoughts in the comment section.
Want to know more about Fiverr or give it a try??
Till my next adventures Belles!
That's a great idea. I have my photo on my card, but a drawing is much cooler!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! Fiverr is my go-to website when I need design done fast!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!
ReplyDeleteYou've actually given me the confidence to go out & try the website.
I was really put off recently but janielescueta is right up my street x
What a good idea, Looks like I want to try this on my blog. Glad you share this with us
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a card it would never have occurred to me! I love!
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant idea and I think I will be heading down this route when it comes to designing my own cards. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great alternative portrait for your business cards, they are all great but I like number 2 the best!
ReplyDeleteI love number 2. It captures your likeness more and looks fab on the card.
