This is how it works:
1) Choose up to 100 different photos from your flickr photostream
2) Choose the crop area for each image (moo cards are a panoramic shape)
3) Come up with some text for the back (I chose business card text but you could put anything, or nothing)
4) Pay $25 US dollars to have 100 little cards delivered to your door, anywhere in the world.
I always wanted business cards with patterns on the back, and was going to Gocco print them... but damn this was so much easier!

These are stunning!!!!! Will have to get some done too. I love your designs, I have to say. May I ask a question? Did you have to modify the resolution of your Flickr photos or were they already of printable quality? I guess what I'm asking is, what is the resolution required by Moo to print from your Flickr gallery?
Thanks!
Thanks Chantal!
I had a lot of fairly lo res images up on flickr (as small as 800 x 600) but they seemed to print fine. When you're in the moo system choosing the crop for your photos, it'll actually tell you if you've zoomed in too much & if your quality is going to be compromised, which is cool.
The cards are pretty small really 28mm x 70mm, so you don't need very high res to cater for that - only about 850x350 px for 300 dpi.
Thanks for the info - might have to get some of thes. Yours look amazing!
Your designs are gorgeous, they remind me of Nicola Cerini designs :)
Your cards look so wonderful! I received my pack the other day too and although initially surprised at how small they were :-) I was happy with the quality and the price.
they look sensational...i have seen some others, but now I really must have a look, you seem so enthusiastic about them!
beautiful cards, I love the patterns you did!!!!!!!!!!!
Lara, they're great...you inspired me to get mine printed too!
These look amazing! What a great application of your patterns. I had no idea moo cards existed. I think I may just order some right now...they'll make great business cards until I get my act together and print my own:) Thanks for sharing.
Hi again Lara! Thanks for all the details regarding resolution etc ^_^ I very much appreciate them. Enjoy your cards ;-)

I found you via another craft blog - and will definitely be back. x
Aren't they just gorgeous.
Mine are on their way, and I confess, I'm rather excited about it.
Will save me a heap of time making laborious little tags each time I turn out a toy (at 4 in the morning because I've forgotten to do it earlier).
great idea to use print!
i'm totally impressed! my reaction: "awh wow! i'm so happy to see her designs in a cool new context!" i ordered sum moo a little more than a week ago, cannot wait to see how they come out!
This is such a good tip!!! Thanks. Your beautiful designs make them really outstanding. Love your blog!
