PaperBagPrintz Giveaway: November 5-12

Yesterday we talked about Christmas cards. But we DIDN'T talk about Christmas cards from Etsy. And I thought Friday sounded like a great day to offer a giveaway for one of you to help meet you Christmas card needs. Agree?
Good. I like it when you do that.

Bloggers, meet Paper Bag Printz.



Before I introduce you to all of her fabulousness, two quick things:

1. She offers LOTS more than just Christmas cards in her shop. She has everything from party invites to save the date cards to handmade picture frames. However, for this post I'm focusing just on her Christmas cards. But, please take a second to look at her other products. I can pretty much guarantee you WON'T be disappointed.

2.  The way her shop works is you select a card you like and then you send her your photo and information. She makes the card your own and send you a proof via e-mail. Once you've approved it and it's just the way you want, she will e-mail you a high resolution file. You can then print your cards like pictures...for ten or so cents each at Wal-Mart, Target, Snapfish, or anywhere else that prints pictures! You can choose to print in whatever size you like and then just pick up some envelopes and go. It's a very inexpensive way to get the custom card look.

Understand and are excited? Good.
Moving on then.
How about we start with a little eye candy?

Oh my stars. I love this first one. I am so into using non-traditional colors on Christmas cards.



I think this one is so cute! I love the green rik-rak. (Is that how you spell rik-rak...don't think I've ever written that word before....)


I LOVE the combo. of teal and red in this one. SO ADORABLE!







Ok, so assuming you're as in love with her work and the idea of self print cards, hows about a giveaway? Paper Bag Printz is offering one of you the chance to choose ANY CHRISTMAS CARD in her shop! The winner will simply select a card design, send her a photo and the details, and she'll get to work creating something beautiful. Seriously-- I need to figure out a way to enter my own giveaways. So not fair.

To enter:

MANDATORY:  Visit Paper Bag Printz on Etsy. Drool over all the options and then come back here and tell me what your favorite thing is in her shop. It can be from any section, so feel free to check out what all she can do.

OPTIONAL:

*Heart Paper Bag Printz via your Etsy account and leave a comment telling me you did this.
*Purchase something from her shop and tell me what you got.
*Follow my blog or remind me that you already do.
* Add my button to your blog and leave a link for me to admire it.
* Blog, facebook, or Tweet about this giveaway. Leave a comment telling me you did and a link if you can.
