I think Moo Cards are mini calling cards...like business cards that are smaller...

TAC had a stamp set recently of cute cows. I sold a "Moo" card made with that set on ebay during the summer. Maybe others have referred to cards similarly.

I believe it's half of an Artist Trading Card? ATC's are usually 2 1/2 by 3 1/2, the size of a playing card. I think Moo cards are half of that longways.

Default Moo Cards = 1/2 calling cards

Thank you all for your responses. I saw a request in Stampers Sampler magazine where they are requesting samples of moo cards for an article they want to do in Spring/Summer. I am familiar with ATC's, but have never heard of these. They are very small...
I will check the links above, but if anyone makes these...would love to hear about it. They look cute.

I think Sandee and Colleen are right - sounds like moo cards are a new-ish small-ish card used mostly personally by techies - here's a cnet article about moo cards
http://news.cnet.com/Web-2.0-busines...3-6171860.html

cute and fun, right

I remembered Michelle Zindorf posting about them a few months back. Cute little things.

Here is the post on her blog.

from different challenges I have been in the sizes are:

Atc = 2.5 x 3.5
Moo = 1 1/8 x 2.75
Nickleback = 2 x 2
Inchie = 1 x 1

It is fun to use the same stamps and supplies and make one of each size to coordinate.

Here is a great Moo challenge site Make A Moo

I love to use these as business card and cards for my website. I keep them in a little gum tin from Starbucks in my purse. To make the cards I set up my information in an address template in Word. I then print it on a heavy white or cream card stock such as Neenah. I then cut the Moo cards out of the printed page. Then I use these as blanks for my artwork.

Here are some of my Moos.

Moo cards are 2,8cm x 7cm if you're using centimeters.
I participate in the challenges on the blog mentioned by Cora in previous post as often as I can.

Here are some ways to use them:
-gift labels
-Harmonica Moo holder
-Key chain

I love to make them, it's surprising sometimes how much room there is on these tiny cards
