Calling Cards - Connect with Style
Refining the Art of Social Networking

Calling Cards are back in style, and have been recently featured in TIME Magazine and other publications. These 40 unique, ready-to-use designs by Trice Boerens are easy to personalize by hand or with an inkjet printer. Your shops' customers will find so many occasions to use these charming cards—at play dates, class reunions, club and organization meetings, when they travel, or to promote blogs or websites. Each book has 200 cards, 10-up on each sheet.

Our Creative Troupe is here for you!

Creative Troupe blog badge We have launched an exciting new program called the Creative Troupe for quilters, artists and crafters—check out the details here. Shop owners and staff are welcome to join our Troupe, too!
