if you’re thankful, you can win this giveaway!

As much as we love putting together your holiday cards each year, we cringe when we see big box stores putting up holiday decorations before Halloween is even over. Let’s not forget about Thanksgiving… before you start making those wish lists, take a minute to be THANKFUL about what you already have!

This giveaway is centered around just that… let us know what YOU are thankful for this year, and you will be entered in a contest to win your very own custom designed holiday cards (yes, an original design completely from scratch, see our last post to learn more). The Notes Nest will provide the winner with a complimentary custom design, 50 flat holiday cards and 2 sheets of gift tag stickers. This package is valued at $115!

How do you enter? If you haven’t already, LIKE The Notes Nest on Facebook! Then, post on our wall at least one thing that you are thankful for this year. It is that easy! We will take entries through Noon on the day after Thanksgiving (11.25.2011) and randomly select our winner that afternoon! The winner can use their card for any holiday they choose up through “Happy New Year” (please redeem no later than 01.06.2012).

Any of our customers that have already placed their order can still win, and either gift their prize to another contest participant or convert the prize into a credit to be used in 2012.

The Notes Nest looks forward to hearing all that you are thankful for this year… GOOD LUCK and go post yours now!

While The Notes Nest offers a gallery of designs that you can make your own by changing colors, fonts, photo slots and more… what we really LOVE putting together for you is from scratch custom design! With the holidays just around the corner, and a lot of you trying to pick that perfect photo for your holiday card, here are a couple of examples of how custom design can work for you!

This cute family of six needed a holiday card as fun as they are… though the photo could have been dropped into any template, The Notes Nest custom designed the argyle pattern based on the sweaters worn by the kiddos (Gymboree Winter Collection, 2010)! If you want a card design that has good flow, it is much easier to design a card around a photo than the other way around.




An all time favorite, this creative customer (who loves all things pink!) wanted our help in putting something together really unique for the holidays! This perfect photo of her sweet dog and favorite pair of pumps was our inspiration. Bright pink and green was a fitting replacement for a traditional ‘holiday’ red and green, the damask pattern was a natural element! The family and friends that received this card all agreed, it was the perfect holiday greeting!

Onto invitations, the mama-to-be for this baby shower had registered for nursery bedding from one of our favorite lines, Serena & Lily. By using the pattern from the sheets as our inspiration, The Notes Nest created a custom invitation that became the theme of the shower (and matching thank you notes, too!): As a hostess, pulling a party or invitation theme from the registry is an easy way to guarantee your honored guest will love it!
