how to make QR CODES in google sheets or excel first attempt at a temporary business card

 Here is the thing. I could and kinda would LOVE to skip ahead to the shiny pretty business that I will make and grow into in even a few months from now. However I think it is really important to show that starting SOMEWHERE is better than not starting because it is not great. So going to the farmers market today and if I get to talking (which is my specialty) I wanted to hand over something with my current instagram and contact information. Neither the contractor card or the temp business template have my "real business name" on it. That still needs to be registered and I do not want it to be taken before me! The appointment is 2 weeks away and that seems like a nice easy excuse to lay low some more and not put myself out there.  I do know how to make QR CODES in google sheets or excel!


The temp business card first printing on cardstock that is pre perforated came out all wrong and barely on the card. And you know what, I will probably still use those! I am going to try again and print one more batch of 10 for tomorrows farmers market. 


Ok so those lines were what I was centering to and they were not actually the right measurements for perforations. They were for a different company template and I should have looked at it. Either way I am prepared to hand something over if someone what to know more.  It links back to my personal instagram (company one not in use yet, waiting for name registration to take). 


Here is the the thing that I know how to do you that makes my business cards, as temporary and silly as they are, have a huge impact.

You will seem like the genius at work making all sorts of short cuts to things.
