I made about 10 of these to leave behind at interviews when I was looking for a job after I graduated from college. Even though I'm a graphic designer, I have a huge sewing hobby. I thought this would be a fun way to convey my love for both. There are so many ways you can incorporate your personality into your resume and still have be simple and elegant! (I did also bring along a paper copy of my resume to my interviews just in case!) In the end, I got the first job I applied to! I’m so glad you found my resume inspirational.

Unfortunately, I've always been told to keep it really simple, that trying to do too much is more likely to annoy than impress potential employers. Of course, this probably refers more to scented papers and childish fonts, but I think there's probably something in it. My advice would be to make it stand out by using perfect spelling and grammar (you'd be surprised how many resumes and cover letters are riddled with mistakes), and a nice, clean design.
