blue finch studios giveaway

Giveaway #8


In my dreams I am a graphic designer. I love fresh, clean design like Susan Young's of Blue Finch Studios. She is brilliant. Her line of distinct mini cards and printable stationery are totally charming. Some people have all the talent.


Blue Finch Studios specializes in two lines of stationery. First, Wee Tidings, which are mini note cards packaged in a jar. And man are they cute. I don't think I'd want to use them--they look too sweet in the jar! (Be sure to click on "view cards" at the bottom of each set to see all the cards.) They also offer a YOUprint line in their Etsy store. YOUprint, also known as printables, are print at home cards, gift tags and labels that you print on your home printer. You can use paper, card stock or sticker sheets to create what you'd like, when you need it. The best thing about YOUprint? You can print them over and over and over (and over).


Susan's designs are not only fresh and bright, but funny! Check out the "Text" line to use for teens and tweens, and the "Spicy" line, perfect for secret notes to that special someone.


Don't you love her color combinations?




And right now on the Blue Finch Studios Blog there's a free printable card, just for you! And rumor is there will be more where that came from, so go back often!


So besides the free card, you can also enter to win this darling giveaway from Blue Finch. It's the Kids Wee Tidings set! Our winner will get this glass jar filled with 12 mini cards, perfect for sneaking into lunch boxes and backpacks. Want to win it? You know the drill. Leave us a comment naming your favorite item from the Blue Finch Studios site or Etsy shop by Saturday, May 30 at 11:59pm PDT. As Susan's cards would say, "Good Luck! {You can do it}!"
