Win It: Postal Press.
You read Alyson Graves' blog, Unruly Things, yes? And you've also taken notice of her letterpress venture, Postal Press, no? Then this is definitely your lucky week. And this is definitely one of my favorite giveaways in the history of giveaways. Recently Alyson began offering custom business cards with your silhouette, all you have to do is send her your photo and they take care of the rest. Are you ready? This week one of you will be the winner of 100 custom Silhouette Business Cards!
To Enter, Tell Me:
1. What your current business cards look like.
2. Your email address (In case you win. Those who do not will sadly be disqualified.)
3. Do it all before Monday, February 8th at 9am CST
PS: Congratulations to #14 Allison, the winner of last week's Strawberry Luna giveaway! Which is oddly fitting since Strawberry Luna is run by an Allison (who I want to say thank you to!)...

These are awesome! My current business cards are corporate, boring, and no longer in use after getting laid off. I'd love some new fun ones!

This is an amazing giveaway. The current state of my business cards is non exsistent but I've been meaning to get some. It would be better just to win some.
I only have cards for the company I work for but have been looking for something to have for me!

Almost out of my white, glossy double-sided biz cards. Would love these to be my newbies.

I don't have business cards (after having recently lost my job). But I definitely would like a set for use at my future networking events and new contacts.
melinda.c.urick@gmail.com
My business cards have my company logo with a corporate genie lamp on them, and they have my maiden name and my old position. It is certainly past time for an update!

I have been contemplating getting some calling cards so that I can be a proper Southern gentleman...
2. cmkleeman@hotmail.com

2) kaitlin(dot)wainwright(at)gmail(dot)com
3) Done, diddly done!
1. They're kind of invisible. And light as air.
2. cmorrowlynch@gmail.com

My childhood friend and i decided to take the plunge and start up our dream business. no more working for demanding bosses (woohoo!) we have poured everything we have into starting up a website, registering the company and new materials and merchandise. theres nothing left for business cards :(

2. whitneywalexander@gmail.com
3. You got it!
I couldn't be more excited about this giveaway opportunity. When I began thinking about re-doing my business cards recently, I actually settled on the silhouette idea, which recalls the cameos I love to use for my vintage-inspired jewelry. My current business cards were designed very lovingly by my husband, but I've outgrown their look. The background is a sepia-toned photo of a Boston street scene we took on our honeymoon, and my OLD logo (which I don't use any longer on any of the branding for my shop) sits at the top. I could really use something with a more defined look and a theme that's developed to match the new feel of my shop, pinkstreet.etsy.com. Thanks so much for the giveaway offer!

allison.laney.harris@gmail.com
1. My cards are terrible, and don't even reflect my current title! I think some of the phone numbers are wrong too. (Yikes.) Of course, as someone else pointed out, I wish I had cards that are for me and my work in general, not just the day job. :)
2. heysunnyside at gmail dot com

These are the cutest!

1. mini moo cards using stock photos (yawn)
2. talida bakes at gmail dot com
My current business card is, alas, no longer current, since I was recently laid off from my ad agency job. (Don't cry for me, Argentina.) I took a stab at designing my own cards, but since I was an account manager and not an artist, they were not cute. In any way.
These Postal Press silhouette cards are awesome and I'd be proud to hand them out.
My email is rferrara (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks for this amazing giveaway, Design Crush and Postal Press!
1) no business cards! (i need some)

Ok.. Full disclosure - I'd like to win these for my boyfriend. He's a musician, and these would be so perfect for him.
He doesn't have a business card. To be frank, I usually see him write his contact info on one of the stacks of fortune cookie slips he has amassed in his wallet. My email is andrea.mcquade at gmail.com.

My current business cards are homemade. I used an awesome idea from the blog design*sponge. I used luggage tags from a craft store. I created my own stamp from a Staples stamp set to put my info on it. Then, to accent my info, I got a flower stamp from a craft store and embossed it in the lower left hand corner. They look good, but, new actual professional cards would be amazing to be able to give to people!!!
So thinking about my cards, forgot...
