Kindermusik with Joy

This is something I’ve been meaning to post for a while now. My sister-in-law, Joy, is a Kindermusik Educator (her blog is here). She and I recently went on a design spree to get her business cards and other work-related paper products up to par. These are the business cards and postcard that I designed for her.

The photos, monkey, and lion are Kindermusik art that we were allowed to use. The colors on the three cards are regulation Kindermusik colors. The logo is the allowed Kindermusik logo adaption with her name. Sounds like there’s not much wiggle room, right? If only you had seen the original Kindermusik cards.

My first draft was a play off of the original card and Joy hated it. The second round drafts were more playful. But as we were talking about the second set she said she really did want to use photos and so these were born.

Joy is currently using the blue and green business cards and plans to get the purple ones made up sometime soon. I’m happy with the way it all looks and she is too.

    I looked up Kindermusik the first time you mentioned it, and it looks like lovely stuff. It’s something I’d love to sign up for, if I had a kid.

    I know you know, but I say again, thank you so much for doing these. They make me smile every time I see them, and I’ve had so many comments from people on them. Wish there were some way to get you hired by Kindermusik International to do stuff for all of us Kindermusik folks.

    Is there any way to order from you? Are these for sale? I love the Bus. cards AND the BD cards. I just ordered new business cards and these are waaaaay cooler.

    I love these cards! Am interested in finding out costs, and if you could do a business card that somehow incorporated my private voice lesson information. Thanks – Margaret Matthes in Michigan

    Hi! Some how I came across your page today and I too would love to find out your prices for biz cards! They are amazing…let me know if you are still making them. I just faxed my license agreement today to Kindermusik! I’m so excited to begin this new journey teaching.
    Thanks!

    I absolutely love your cards. I am a new Kindermusik Educator and would desperately love to have cards as nice as you made for Joy. The template at Kindermusik.com simply doesn’t compare. It underwhelms me. Are you willing to make cards for other educators? Just wondering. Thank you, Jill Welton in Leesburg, VA
