FREE Moo Cards with Flickr Goodness



MOO & Flickr teamed up to offer FREE business cards you just pay for shipping! These sexy cards are powerd up with yummy Flickr Goodness.....Only catch...it has the MOO name & logo imprinted on it with a 15% discount for the first order.... all in all it's a GREAT DEAL for a great product!

BUT...I was super Ninja sneaky - MOO designs them so that the tiny commercial strip is on the front of the business card but i reversed the design and put it on the back! Voila! Hint: Download the MOO .PSD design template and create with Photoshop or your fav photo editing suite!

heh heh heh too bad Ninja Librarian was taken! LOL Moo Cards also rock because you can have a different picture on EVERY one! They call that Printfinity... i call that a reason to play with iPhoto and Photoshop! From the MOO Flickr Feed: a Business Card Template

(download original size)

Here's how my recent batch of business cards came out... I love the matte finish...slight sheen, great hand. Mini cards are cool...(and greener) but I love a big splashy design - sides i was worried people would lose the mini cards. The colors do come a bit dark...because the ink is so lovely and saturated so the designs that i had that were lighter came out i think better.

50 cards from $21.99 What do you think?

SO my mistake on some of my first cards (before i had the template) were that i tried to size them to what they would END up being when i should have trusted MOO and go with a better bigger resolution size and they ended up sorta "muddy" but at the time i couldn't find the template or the preferred or recommended PIXEL size!

My first (and second) batch of Moo cards Flickr gallery.
HINT! If you create a gallery for your MOO cards keep it the way it is and do NOT delete any pics from that gallery until your cards arrive or you may end up with a blank card! EEP!
And on the third batch of my cards... like a Doofus, i believed the template and kept in the positioning green lines which came out on the final cards...Oooops! My bad! LOL I mean, it's a design enhancement, yeah!

You can order GREEN Cards, too!
"The stock is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable – and the free holder is 100% recycled pulp board and recyclable too. For anyone in the USA worried about the airmiles, you’ll be glad to know that soon we’ll be printing and shipping in the USA, and so not only will your cards arrive much quicker, but they’ll have less distance to travel too.

These are some customer shots of our Eco Friendly Business Cards:"

Now i know Zazzle has mini business cards, too...and regular sized business cards but which are best? Non-Eco snob cool dude Jeffrey the The Fun Times Guide to Living Green guy ( follow him on Twitter! ) Reviews them here comparing them to MOO!

Update to his blog posting, Moo now has an American division and thus shipping miles are reduced. YAY! (photo source: Living Green Website)

Makerspace for Little or Nothing

Makerspace for Little or Nothing You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to start a Makerspace area. You don't have to have a designated room or rip out bookcases. You can even have a Makerspace on a cart! When we have testing in our Library, I put all our Makerspace stuff on an AV cart and roll it into our server room.  This post evolved from a previous post called Makerspace Starter Kit Updated where I had some of these idea, but I felt that it deserved it's own expanded post. You can take baby steps into the Maker Movement.  I've been saying that for 7 years or so....long before I blogged about it, I tried it out. Yeah, sometimes I try things on the sly to see if they are blogworthy for you! Now....having said that..... WARNING: Controversial Opinion Ahead.  I'm not 100% sold, even after 7 years of talking about the Maker Movement, that it's something that's here to stay and not just a fad. Even though I've (without knowing it!)

Makerspace Starter Kit Updated

Image
Three years ago I shared my Makerspace Starter Kit with you or what I was buying to boost our Makerspace area using four empty Library study carrels that no longer held desktop Macs.  That post has consistently been one of the most viewed posts every week for years and years - with more than 83 THOUSAND views, gee whiz! (Crazy, right?) So, I thought maybe it was time to update it!*  Since then, I've had some major Makerspace successes and a couple dismal (and expensive) Makerspace failures!  So, here's the latest for ya'll with the good, the bad, and the bloody awful! Our MHMS Makerspace How it works: Kids can come in before the 1st period late bell rings, during lunch, or when they've finished their work in class to explore, craft, and create in the Library Media Center. It's not a "class" or an organized offering. It's a free form optional offering of constructivist learning and creativity! It's not as big as some and it hasn't tak

Curating the Happy for Your Future Self

Teacher Tip #112 Teacher Self-Care:  Create a Happy Folder In my School Library Media office desk I had a manilla folder where I carefully tucked all the hand written notes from kiddos & parents to read on a rainy day. I also SHAMELESSLY would first tape them to my office door (let the other teachers internally writhe with envy!)  Nah, really just to keep me motivated and also show the kiddos I appreciated their heartfelt little notes!  But.....before I tucked it away tenderly or taped it to my door, I took a picture of it and uploaded it to Flickr. A digital Happy Folder that pays back dividends of warm fuzzies and motivations for your future self.  Because, let's not kid ourselves, being an educator right now is HARD.  Start this habit NOW.  Don't be like me and wait 10 or 15 years. OK, some of that was because cell phones and digital cameras weren't as handy and as ubiquitous back then. But do your future self a favor, there will be days when you will need it.  Make
