MINTED: a giveaway





I honestly don't do too many giveaway's. Not that I am opposed, but I like to only give what I believe my readers will adore. This is one that I truly adore so I hope you do too! MINTED, a very hip design on paper shop, is giving one of you a $200 dollar credit towards your Christmas cards this year. The only catch is you must order by Black Friday. I know that every year we try to get our cards out the week after Thanksgiving so I think the catch is not such a big thing. Their designs make me giddy, above are a few of my favorites. Clean + Fresh = Perfection

How to Enter:

1. Let me know which new Christmas 2010 card design you adore most on MINTED.

2. Check back on Friday to see if you won. That's it, you are now entered. A happy dance may ensue.

3. If you would like an additional entry then let me know you are or have become a follower of Two Ellie in another comment. That way you should have 2 comments for this one giveaway.

  1. They're all so awesome it's hard to choose! I'll say the float + cheers 2010 is my fave as that's the one that jumps out to me as most reflective of our Baby Space family of four...

  150. This is such a fantastic giveaway! There are so many amazing choices. Some of my favorites are Mod Season, Be Merry, Modern Luxe, Simple Joy, and The Tree. In a time when fewer and fewer people are sending handwritten notes and holiday cards in the mail, it's wonderful to be inspired by these beautiful designs. Hopefully everyone who entered this giveaway will send at least one holiday card this year. :)
