Today is an absolutely gorgeous autumn day here in Iowa, with crisp blue skies, a light breeze, and sunshine spilling everywhere. It's a shame Joe had to work this evening, as it would have been a perfect day for us to go out and take a few maternity pictures. I'm thinking ahead to our end-of-the-year newsletter and cards, and would like to have a nice pregnancy picture to include as well as (Lord willing!) pictures of our little family once Baby is born.
I'm definitely planning on having our cards printed through Tiny Prints again this year, and am super excited about the HUGE selection of designs they're offering. As a graphic designer, I tend to view designs with a fairly critical eye - and on most pre-designed card sites like this there is always something I wish I could tweak about the way a card is laid out or the fonts/color that were chosen. Not so with Tiny Prints! Seriously, they have some of the best card designs I've ever seen. Most come in several different color combinations, and there are usually a number of design options including text, font, photos, and more. I've been known to browse through their site just for creative inspiration...the designs are truly that good. :D
This is the design Joe and I used last year (with a different photo, of course!).
Intrigued yet? Check out this year's huge selection here: Christmas Photo Cards
While you're over there, be sure to check out Tiny Prints' special offers and promotions page: it's a great place to catch a good deal!
Okay, and the best part? Tiny Prints offered to let me share a $50 giveaway with one of my blog readers. This is for a coupon code that gives you $50 off your total order (not including shipping). Tiny Prints' prices are very reasonable, especially considering the top-quality printing, and you'll be able to get a good-sized stack of cards for FREE if you win! Even for those of you who do not celebrate Christmas, there are plenty of designs that would work perfectly for an end-of-the-year greeting card, or just as a way to share photos with your loved ones.
Sound fun? All you have to do to enter is go to Tiny Prints' site (link above) and look through their designs. Then come back here and leave a comment, letting us know which card you would choose (good luck choosing only one, lol - that's the hardest part!). Be sure to include a valid email address so I can contact you if you win. To earn a second entry, please link to this post on your FB page or Twitter, then come back and comment saying that you've done so. All entries must be received by October 29! I'll randomly select one winner and will be in touch with your coupon code. Can't wait to see which of you will win! :D

Disclaimer: Tiny Prints is giving me site credit in trade for spreading the word about their holiday card designs. When I saw the chance to share $50 with one of you I immediately knew I wanted to participate, even though I've been so busy of late that this blog has been sadly neglected otherwise. :) But rest assured that this is an honest review: I do I whole-heartedly recommend Tiny Prints' services and think they're doing a great job!

ReplyDeleteI wanna win! I'd chose 'Technicolor Peace', 'cause it has a Bible verse... and I prefer that Christ be magnified on Christmas rather than wishing people 'winter wishes' or a great 'holiday'. Also, it's one of the cheapest! ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet giveaway! It's so hard to choose one...I really liked "Snowy Air" though - very classy!

ReplyDeleteThat IS hard! I think, Festive Love in the red and green. Mostly because I already know what picture I would use and I think that one would look nice with our picture. There are some others I really like as well. Those circle ones are really fun!! matdandag@hotmail.com Thanks Abigail!
ReplyDeleteI linked it on my Facebook wall. matdandag@hotmail.com Thanks again! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm like you and don't like the designs of most cards. I love theirs, though! I'd probably get this one: http://www.tinyprints.com/product/20534/christmas_cards_peppermint_streamers.html
ReplyDeleteAdore Thee is my favorite! I think it may be the one for us this year!

I love Ecstatic Alleluia! I like that it has a larger photo featured on it. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the one you chose for last year's photo card. We do "New Years" cards here and I like the "Linen Berries" style.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the little one is due in only 7 weeks! =D

Ooooh :) Fun! I haven't looked much at Tiny Prints cards before-mainly just Shutterfly. So this is great!
ReplyDeleteBut I love this design...

So many good choices! I think I would have to go with a tri-fold card like "Taped Memento" because so much happened this year and we have a lot of pictures to share!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, so many good designs! I couldn't pick just one! The first one to jump out was Adore Thee, but Simmering Star would be a nice one too.
ReplyDeleteWas a cool givaway Abigail! :)

I would choose Born This Day, I think, but they all look fabulous! I think I want one for individual photos of my kids, though, so this would work, and of course a great Bible verse!

Too many to choose from! lol I like Blessed Days and Bethlehem Town and Be Blessed, and so many more!
ReplyDeleteYour right! it was hard to just pick one! But I think I would go with Great Gingham! =) Sarah Birx email is s.murrayrom8.28@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI choose Bethlehem Town- it makes me start singing "Bethlehem Morn"! Peggy Ledbetter (facebook)
ReplyDeleteYou're right! There are a lot of nice ones! I'd choose Classy Crystals :)
ReplyDeleteThis would be great to win. I have been thinking recently that we need to start thinking about our Christmas cards. It was hard to decide on one specific one. I like the ones that you can have several pictures. That is very important with a new baby! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to choose from! I guess I might choose Swirled Wishes
