A few years ago, I had 3000 of these little cards/tags printed. Yes, really. The reason was that I had different plans for my shop then than I do now, and the cost of printing this many was so low. Fast forward to now, and I probably still have 2700 of these, and am looking for creative ways to use them. (I am determined that they will not go to waste!)
But that's not the point of this. The point is that I bought 3000 of these, the quality was excellent, and the cost was amazing. Because of this, UPrinting.com is my favorite place to refer folks to, and I was completely delighted to receive an email from them offering to do a giveaway for my readers!
This is the first time that I've accepted the offer from a large company to do a giveaway. And it's because I really want someone to get a chance to try their wonderful services!
UPrinting.com is giving away some of their postcards today. These would make excellent prints, handouts at a craft show, or I even sent out postcards last year for Christmas! Here are the details of the prize:

5" x 7"
14pt Cardstock Gloss

I haven't sent out holiday cards in many years because I've always been behind the lens (dumb reason) but a good friend recently took photos of me & my beloved dog who is quite elderly. I'd love to win & make up postcards with that photo to use for "Happy Autumn" cards. - Amy

Great Giveaway. I would use the postcards to promote my Etsy Shop Wicked Faerie Queen. This is something I have been thinking of doing and these postcards would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win some,

P.S. I had an idea for how you could use some of those business cards! You could paint and stencil/stamp them to turn them into gift tags! All you would need is a hole-punch, a bit of yarn or ribbon, paint, pencils, maybe an ink pad, rubber stamps, and a mind full of creative ideas. Once decorated you could have a life-time supply of gift tags or they could be a great gift to any hosts who host parties/gatherings in their home. (They could even be sold or given simply as "just because" gifts!) Just a few ideas. =)
What a great giveaway! I would use the postcards to announce an upcoming change in our lives--we're adding a member to our family! Our extended family live all over the place so a nice high quality postcard is a way to draw all of them into what God is doing in our lives. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these! I am hoping to do my first official craft sale this December so they would be perfect for then!

I love postcrossing and often don't have postcards to send so this will be my perfect opportunity :)
ReplyDeletecatherine at love-tears dot net
As a teacher, one of my goals this year is to make more positive contacts with parents. Just the other day, at the conclusion of a summer book study, I commented on how postcards could be the way to go so, after a small investment in post card stamps, I would use them to send positive notes home to my students. I should have about 100 students this year, so it would be perfect!
ReplyDeletemsgould_ams (at) hotmail (dot) com
Holiday Cards for sure.
ReplyDeletemsjudithroberts {at} gmail {dot} com
Great giveaway! I'd use the cards to include with swap packages :).
ReplyDeleteI'm torn, I would either use them for holiday cards or to promote my husband's book.
ReplyDeleteEee! This will feed into my recent postcard obsession! I've started sending out postcards to my Sisters and a few friends from college to keep in touch since we're so far away. Such a sweet but quick "hello!", so that's what I would use them for :)

ReplyDeleteOooh! I would use this for my collage. It would be a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteemail: kateok1221@gmail.com
Honestly, if I won, I would love to make cards to spread words of encouragement, and happiness. It would make someones day. :) If I didn't do that, I would most likely make cards to send to my fellow baby loss moms. It would really make their day. But anyway, thanks so much for the opportunity. :)

Christmas or Valentines! What a creative giveaway!
ReplyDeletelmwilliams2009{at}gmail{dot}com
I'd either do Christmas cards or something to send with my orders from etsy.
ReplyDeleteMy sister paints. She used to work at the animal shelter a few years ago and still has many awesome paintings she did of the dogs and cats she fell in love with but could not take home. I would turn her paintings into postcards to share her wonderful pictures with everyone!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Christmas cards! Thank you for offering this nifty give-away!
ReplyDeleteI would use them to send thank yous to customers :)
ReplyDeleteI'd create personalized Happy Birthday postcards--maybe with a photo of us holding a "Happy Birthday" banner, or perhaps I'll come up with something more creative than that.
ReplyDeletewordygirl at earthlink dot net
I think they would look awesome placed in rows and columns and hung as some sort of wall art.
ReplyDeleteSave the dates! And I need 100, this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI would use them as business cards for my Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so lucky! I was just discussing postcards with my husband!! =D I really, really want to print up some postcards of my photography to start up a small etsy shop. I've been so nervous to jump in there and show off my art...what if I spend money starting up and I fail? What if no one likes it? What if, what if, what if?!?!?! This would really give me the gigantic push that I need! =D
ReplyDeletemistressdanzig at gmail dot com
I would use them to spread good cheer and encouragement to people. Also I collect postcards so I would have a new one to add to my collection.

ReplyDeleteI found your blog from Oh So Lovely, and have really been enjoying it! I am a graphic designer, so I'm always looking for new, cheaper places to get printing done. Looking forward to checking this place out!
ReplyDeleteIf I won...I'd probably send out Christmas cards this year. I haven't done it in so long, I'm long overdue!
You can contact me through my blog http://www.shortjenn.blogspot.com!
I'd make them into welcome fall cards and send them out to everyone like early Christmas cards to cheer everyone up after this super hot summer! How cool!
ReplyDeleteI like the Christmas card idea too! & maybe 'just because I was thinking of you' cards!
ReplyDeleteI'll use them to help spread the word to folks that this little mama is opening shop online. Woohoo!! Maybe add a little promotional code for a grand opening discount.
ReplyDeleteWhether or not I win, thanks for the heads up about Uprinting.com. Have tried a couple of places and I'm just not happy with the end results.

ReplyDeleteOh, I know just what I would use the postcards for - "save the date" cards for my wedding next spring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I see plenty of uses for them...Halloween cards, Christmas cards, thank you notes, thinking of you...the sky's the limit!
ReplyDeleteI want to say my Etsy shop, but I just printed a ton. So these would be fun as "Thank you" or "thinking of you" cards. I always need some and it would be great to have that many on hand!
