Christmas cards are one of those things that I always have good intentions about, but don't always come through on. Having spent four years and an ungodly amount of money on an education partial focused on graphic design, I should be able to pump out cute designs and perfectly edited pictures in my sleep... right?
Not so much. And the past few years, even when I didn't have pregnancy as an excuse, I don't always make my deadline for Christmas cards. Designing them is just the first hurdle-- sending them out is another beast entirely.
However, when someone offers to simplify your life and give you 50 FREE CHRISTMAS CARDS, it annihilates one beast entirely, and makes the idea of sending out Christmas cards unbelievably manageable. What's even better is when those cards are not even remotely cheesy, overpriced and/or chintzy looking.
Let's talk, my friends-- about Tiny Prints.
This is a mere sampling of the beautiful holiday cards they have to offer-- oh, and these all house just a single photo! They have collage layouts and tri-fold layouts, and the site is SO easy to sort by type and style. Good luck deciding on just ONE layout to go with for Christmas.
The cards above would all work well with the photo we're planning to use-- and we're DEFINITELY sending a card this year, simply because we want to make sure that everyone is aware of that fact that this is the Gentemans last Christmas as a family of two. (Well, two people. We do love our furry boy, he will always be our "firstborn" :) Anyway, I can't think of a lovelier way to make the announcement than with one of these gorgeously designed cards.
The most amazing part of this whole deal? Is that F word I mentioned earlier-- Tiny Prints is offering 50 FREE cards to bloggers who promote their website! How sweet is that? On a carefully planned budget that now includes lots of saving for baby gear and maternity leave, this offer is a humongous and very timely blessing. Merry Christmas to you, Tiny Prints!!!
p.s. I would post the link to the form for more info on this promo, but the form was recently taken down :( However, you should absolutely check out the site because unless you're an amazing graphic designer with a miraculously open schedule, you won't find cuter cards for your time and money. Check it out!
