Rhett's Birth Announcement by Tiny Prints

Designing Christmas cards is fun...but designing birth announcements is extra fun!  Once again, I used Tiny Prints and I couldn't be happier with the results.  My biggest struggle was (and always is) choosing a photo.  No joke, I agonized over it for daaaaays.  Why??  I don't know, no one cares quite like me.  One thing I like about Tiny Prints, however, is the ability to include multiple photos and not just on the announcement itself!  I decided to include an envelope liner with a photo and I also ordered personalized stamps.  Yep, that baby you see on the stamp--not just a random baby, but that is our very own Rhett!  So fun, right?!  I also added three photos to the back of the announcement so I feel pretty good about getting to show off six of his most precious newborn photos.  As for the announcement itself, once again, I struggled to choose a design, but decided upon the foil-stamped because - shiny gold, duh!  I also took the time to type our friends' and families' addresses into Tiny Prints so I could have them printed on the envelopes and that may have been the best decision ever!

 

Thank you, Tiny Prints, for the most gorgeous announcements and coordinating accessories!  Can't wait to stick one in Rhett's baby book (oh wait, my kids don't have those) and cherish it forever! ;)

Our 2016 Christmas Cards

Happy Christmas week!  Until about last Thursday, my husband was oblivious to the fact that Christmas was just over a week away!  So if any of you are like him, let it be known that Christmas is this weekend!!

After hoarding our Christmas cards for nearly a month, I finally addressed them, added stamps, and dropped them in the mailbox last Tuesday.  Which means they should have arrived to their final destinations by now, which means I can finally share the entire card in all of its glory and greatness.

 

Thanks again to Tiny Prints for the gorgeous cards!

Holiday Cards with TinyPrints

One of the first things I do upon receiving our annual family photos is design our Christmas cards.  I seriously look forward to this project every year.  I love browsing the pages and pages of cards, trying different designs, and ultimately choosing our annual card.  For the second year in a row, I ordered our cards through Tiny Prints.  Their selection, their options, and their services are just too good to pass up.  I may or may not have stewed over which card to choose for four days before making my final decision (#firstworldproblems), but I also couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Last year I went with a Tiny Prints' glitter card.  This year, I couldn't pass up their new personalized foil-stamped cards...because our last name in rose gold foil = swoon!!!!!!!  And because I'm a sucker for all the "extras", I also chose scalloped edges, pearl white shimmer paper, kraft envelopes, and matching return labels (not pictured).  And a second photo on the backside because, duh, I heart pictures!!

Here are some sneak peaks, though the photos really don't do them justice.  Notice how I conveniently cropped out the baby's name? ;)  If you're lucky enough to be a recipient of one of these beauties, I plan to send them out shortly after Thanksgiving.  (Pending all things baby!)

And because choosing a card was so hard, I'll go ahead and share a few runners up.  Just in case you're still in the market!  And I've already decided, next year I'm going with either the laser cut or letterpress cards!

Gleaming Frost (foil stamped)

Polished Strokes (foil stamped)

Everlasting Evergreen (foil stamped)

Glimmering Snowfall (foil stamped)

Abundant Grace (glitter)

Cozy Joy (lasercut)

Snowflakes Aplenty (letterpress)

Whimsy Glitzy (glitter)

As I mentioned last year, don't forget to utilize the "Show with my Photo" option - one of the best features of Tiny Prints' website in my opinion!  Seeing your photo on every card definitely helps narrow down your options!  (Though it's still extremely difficult!)

And one more quick note: Tiny Prints is offering 30% off of everything through today with the code TAKE30.  Happy card designing!

Tis the Season for Holiday Cards with Tiny Prints

I am so excited about our Christmas cards this year.  I've always drooled over the adorable cards at Tiny Prints, but I've never actually ordered my cards there.  Until now.

And oh my goodness, to say it was a difficult decision is an understatement!  First deciding upon a design, and a color scheme, and a font, and a back layout, and a trim option.  And then choosing envelopes, and an envelope liner (did you know you can put your picture on the liner??), and any coordinating items like return labels.  Seriously, with all of the options that Tiny Prints offers, I think over a million people could order holiday cards and not one of them would be the same.  It's no wonder it took me about four hours to place my order!

Of course I'm not going to show you our cards just yet.  If you're lucky enough to know us personally, you'll be excited to know these were dropped in the mail on Wednesday and they should be arriving to your mailbox any day now, and if not, I will share our cards soon enough!  In the meantime, I'll go ahead and share a little sneak peak + a look at the gorgeous gold envelopes and bokeh confetti envelope liners to match.  Are you drooling?  Because I sure am!

In the meantime, here are a few of my "runners up."  It was so hard to choose between the foiled-stamped, the glitter, and the laser-cut cards!

Foil-Stamped

Scintillating Snowfall

Krafted Snowfall

Glitter 

Charming Joy

Frosty Saplings

Laser Cut 

Laser Cut - Sprinking of Magic

Lace Crystals

And this deserves a major shout out, too!  Perhaps my favorite thing about ordering my cards was the ability to see my photo in every card.  If you're anything like me, you typically design multiple cards and screen shot each one in order to compare and pick a favorite.  But that takes time - something you don't always have, especially this time of the year!  With this 'Change My Photo' option, you can literally browse the cards with your photo on each one.  Genius?  I think so.  Take a look.

Thank you, Tiny Prints, for the gorgeous Christmas cards!  I'll definitely be shopping with you again next year!
