Minted Fuels My Love for Gorgeous Stationary Products (w. giveaway)

By

Despite the tech savvy, I have a huge weakness for gorgeous stationary and paper products. I love holding cards made out of thick stock featuring vibrant fresh designs that serve as an expression of personality and that’s exactly what you get with products from Minted.

Not only do I love the high quality of products from Minted but they’re also a global community of independent graphic designers. Designers are selected through Minted’s Design Challenge where everyone can submit a design that meets the challenge. Cash prizes are awarded and the winning designs are sold through Minted. To date, designers represent 43 different countries and the rich community contributes to the amazing products sold through the site.

What can you find on Minted? Everything including wedding invitations, stickers and accessories, party décor, personalized greeting cards, calendars, and so much more.

With so much to choose from, I love that I can save my favorite products using a Pinterest-like Inspiration Boards where I can curate boards according to a theme of my choice or be inspired by what others in the Minted community love. I also like that if I’m looking for a certain style, I can find a product I love and search for more items by the same designer.

Recently I’ve been loving things with a vintage feel. Here are some items that I’ve recently added to my Inspiration Boards.

Our Vintage Family family tree custom art print by GeekInk Design because Little Miss Techie has been asking about and making her own family tree for our family. It would be great to have this beautiful version in our home.

Poppy Talk Personalized Stationary by Anna Elder is a design that evokes the Marimekko I love. I know I would never get tired of seeing or sending notes on these gorgeous personalized notecards.

A Chalkboard Marriage Wedding Invitations by petite papier because this year we’ll celebrate our 12th anniversary and if were to ever renew our vows, I’d want to use these as our invitations.

Silver and Gold Party Décor by Jody Wody elevates the holiday party with classy gold and silver with a non-denominational snowflake and tree theme that doesn’t scream Christmas tree.

    I follow you on Pinterest! (HannaAhr- you don’t have to follow me back- I never pin anything- I just look at everyone else’s pins!)

    So FUN! I adore Minted! Although Nathaniel just turned 3, we ordered a really neat print that has 12 photos (one from each month of his first year) and the text “Nathaniel 2010” — we love it! If I win this contest, I think I’d buy some party decorations!!
