Tulip business cards
Tulips come in a variety of colours - pink, purple, red, white, orange and yellow, and shapes from formal bedding types, and frilly peony flowered to botanical species tulips. They make ideal and colourful business card templates for a whole range of businesses including florists, gardeners, plant nurseries and specialists in spring and summer bulbs. Here are some, including some named varieties such as tulipa pulchella China Coral, Apple Blossom & Pink Beauty, as well as a revised tulipa acuminata.

Some vintage tractors
Vintage or antique tractors are very popular with smallholders and collectors, so of course there is quite an industry for spares and repairs. All of our equipment (except a rotovator) was secondhand - baler, spinner (free), cutter, the previously mentioned tractor, an ancient but solid wooden trailer with hay ladders, and a lovely little folding harrow for 50 euros - I say little, but it weighs a ton! It's not surprising when a new small square baler costs 16000€ and a good secondhand one is a tenth of that!
So, for all those lovely suppliers of spares and implements, here are some business cards just for you!

Farrier and horseshoeing business card templates updated
My print on demand range of farrier business card templates has been updated again, with some new horseshoeing designs, including photographic, graphic design and vintage styles. The photographic cards show close-ups of a shoe being nailed onto a hoof and a red hot horseshoe being hammered on an anvil, as well as a vintage photograph of a village blacksmith in England. Some have a horse's head inside a horseshoe, and variations of the horseshoe on different backgrounds. I have split these into two collections shown below, with the horseshoe designs on the right.
There are several with a minimal amount of information and a blank reverse (to leave space for writing appointments etc.), but also in versions with address and other details on the back. All of these cards have templates to personalise them with your name, address and other details.
If you have any special design requests, please do contact me through the "ask this designer" link to the right of each card when opened. There is no charge for simple design or colour changes!

Basketry and canework
Do you make cane or wicker baskets out of willow or ash, woven rush or reed mats, restore traditional canework chairs? Or perhaps you run courses in these crafts. Here is a new set of business card templates to help you promote your industry or trade. Except for the woven basket photo on a dark background, all of these are digital designs. The woven matting cards have an overlay of bamboo leaves in colour, which would be equally good for dealers or makers of Asian style goods, and the others show different types of cane splint weaving.
