I finally got around to ordering some moo cards a couple weeks ago.  I had seen them online and trolled the flickr moo card group.  There was even a little article in yesterdays Wall Street Journal about calling cards and how unique they have become.  I could have just done up business cards but i wanted to try something different that would be more memorable.  I have to admit, I was also just plain curious to see these things up close.  I thought about uploading my own photos but in the end opted for a simple pre-design with my own text.  I was satisfied with it online but when I opened my package, I was just blown away.  Not only did I get my cards but i got a little bonus sampling of the stickers you can also order.  I opened my box and was just giddy with how well they turned out. 

What you don’t know about Moo cards?  That’s ok, I’m finding that a lot of people don’t know about them.

To put it simply, MiniCards are little cards with your photos or
designs on one side, and your details on the other. We like to
think of them as little calling-cards that you hand out to keep
in touch with friends, or new people you meet. MiniCards are
28 mm x 70 mm and can be personalized with images from
our partners, with pictures from your desktop or MOO
designer’s images.
 
Pricing: 100 for $19.99 / €14.99 / £9.99

What I was most surprised about were the size and detail.  I know the measurements (see above) but I have a problem where I really have to physically hold it to get the size.  These things are tiny (which I like) and surprisingly crisp in detail, much like an iPhone and why I probably like them so much.  I can really see the facination with these little gems.  Not to mention the limitless possibilities of what you can creat with them.  The wheels are already turning to figure out what I can come up with next…stay tuned
