oooh I just got a new batch of moo cards delivered the other day. I used mine as hang tags attached to mini hand made boxes (thanks to the great tutorial by mary) of my magnets. They were part of my 100+ contributions to the December Sampler.

Here's a link to a shot of how I used Moo as part of the packaging for my etsy sales: http://tinyurl.com/3dj7c3

Who did the cool "Christmas Indeed" artwork above? Do they sell here on etsy? I tried to find them in a search but nothing turned up.

Hey, super cute ideas!

I use Moo cards as care instruction tags on my leather items.

So much easier and nicer looking than me hand writing the tags.

Nov. 17, 2007 at 1:06 p.m. ravenshold

I forgot, I have the Moo stickers too. I wrap all of my sold items in tissue paper and I use the stickers to hold the paper closed.

For those that asked about the Christmas Indeed art, It reads "Mark Johns" on the side of the santa head. I did a search for his name, it game up in google.

I dont have mine yet, but those are some great ideas! I have already been prepering my shop for the mass Moo movement, I made Moo holders!

I may have missed this.... can I send my original photo and have them make cards, then sell the on etsy? Or is this only suggested for packing/promo for our shops?

Nov. 17, 2008 at 10:16 a.m. posiesboutique

Thanks for all the ideas!

Super Excited! I've always used Vistaprint.com for business cards and promotional stuff, but this MOO stuff sounds much more appealing. Thanks for writing this article!

I either give them to people as visit cards, or stick them into my wrapped box to send to the buyer:

I am investigating all of my advertising options and I am thrilled to find such benifical perks for the future.

March 13, 2009 at 7:27 p.m. PracticalCatCrafts

Ooh I love MOOoooo too! I initially bought a book of funky stickers and have been slipping them into my little parcels of fabric cover buttons (still on the backing) just as a complimentary gift that won't break the bank! Will definitely use them again with these fresh ideas.

I'm waiting for my Moo samples. Ordered them yesterday. I have been looking for Organic/Green printers (that are not ridiculously expensive) for my biz cards, tags etc. So, I'm excited as I wait for them to arrive.

I just got my first batch of cards last week and they are beautiful! I used a variety of pictures of my glass work on the front and everyone that I have handed them to thinks they are fun -- hopefully that means they will keep them and use them. Thanks to all my Etsy co-horts for the great ideas on using them for more than business cards!

April 3, 2009 at 10:53 p.m. EnviousMoonDesigns

I just discovered Moo tonight. I've been thinking about getting business cards so now I am going to go this route and get some mini's insted!

May 6, 2009 at 3:41 p.m. PaperSnailDesign

Wow thats so great! I like that you can use a variety of images. This is the most supportive and interesting site!

May 14, 2009 at 10:39 a.m. MostlyLulu

Wow this is so neat ! I'm going to check it out right now.
