Hope you’re wearing your business (card) socks because it’s that time again — business card inspiration time! Last week’s glittery business cards feature were a great segue into this week’s roundup thanks certain bands who claim that all that glitters is gold (Led Zeppelin and more recently, the ’90s band Smash Mouth).

Enjoy and here’s to a golden Monday!

One type of card I’m fond of giving and receiving are thank you cards. I never have a shortage of them and they’re especially thoughtful to give to a family member or friend or neighbor to let them know how much I’m grateful to have them in my life. It’s fun to include a little package of homemade cookies or cupcakes I bake (that is, if they turn out ok!) because nothing goes better with a sweet card than sweets.

We’ve rounded up some simply lovely thank you cards, tell us which ones you love!

We think tattooing the word “mom” on oneself is far more official than posting your love for your mom on Facebook. But, if you’re not planning on getting inked for Mother’s Day, here are a few rockin’ paper alternatives.

These delectable gifts and greetings are the perfect gift for the mom with a sweet tooth. We couldn’t agree more with the ice cream print (figure 3 below) by Old English Company that says “Without ice cream, there would be darkness and chaos.” The same thing could be said about paper, right?
