{#Giveaway} Need to update your brand? Start by winning 100 Business Cards from our friends @tinyprints!

This Giveaway is CLOSED, winner is Rachel T.
tinyprints logo


It is exactly one year now that I have been putting my 'best face' forward on my business cards and using a card that is not only creative, but the most reflective of me and my personal brand.

For me, being an 'Ascending Butterfly' is a soul that is always in transition, always growing, changing and evolving. Even in the most simple ways I like to see signs of change, my desktop wallpaper rotates every 15 minutes with a new picture or motivational quote, the same with my screensaver. I even change the desktop background to my phone daily! So for me to say I haven't re-designed my business cards in over a year is truly saying a lot. Usually every time I needed a new box, I would re-design the entire card. But not anymore!



About Tiny Prints:

tinyprints is a company that was founded by three friends with big dreams and a passion for beautiful paper that has grown into a booming online destination for stylish stationery (and more!) for every occasion.

Tiny Prints Ascending Butterfly Business Card Front
My business card is a folded card so it can be stored as a standard size card. But as you can see below, it is anything but 'standard'.


Tiny Prints Ascending Butterfly Business Card Inside
It opens up and this is the 'inside' of the actual card (I blanked out my phone number, sorry guys!)


Tiny Prints Ascending Butterfly Business Card Back
The back of the card has room for notes, and even though the surface of the card is 'pearlized' you can write on it easily!

My Take:

Since I started blogging I have designed a new card each year, which makes perfect sense, the cards evolved as much as me and my blog have. But now I'm in more of a 'groove' and my tinyprints Business Cards have been the most accurate reflection of me to date!

The tinyprints Custom Design Service allows you to work directly with a Designer, so your card truly reflects your vision instead of just a standard template. They also offer a free physical AND digital proof. There is a low One-Time Fee of $25 for the service. My designer took a very scattered vision and helped me organize it all in a way that made sense from a design standpoint, and still retain the creativity I wanted the card to have. The quality of the cardstock and the brilliant design make these my favorite cards to date! I couldn't recommend tinyprints more (as you can see from past reviews, here and here), but I will warn you, order at least 100 more than you think you'll need, you'd be surprised just how many you will go through PER conference or networking event with these! For me the past few months have been filled with non-stop tradeshows, conferences, expos and events, and I have almost run through a print run of 500 cards already!

Win 100 Business Cards from @TinyPrints via @Ascending1 - See why these are my FAVORITE Cards!

{CLOSED} Congratulations Carolyn Gonzalez, Entry #298!




2014 will be here before you know it butterflies, are you ready? Do your current business cards truly reflect your brand?

I have a graphic design background and I can tell you that you should never design your own cards, let someone else do it! You need someone to put the same energy into YOU as you do for your clients. If you are very anal about things this 'giving up control' will probably be extremely difficult for you at first, but I can promise you it will be so worth it at the end.

I have never received more compliments on any former Business Card than I have with this one, and I have not looked back since. When I check into events, I wait for my card back but the person always keeps my card! It's quite a compliment!



About Tiny Prints:

tinyprints is a company that was founded by three friends with big dreams and a passion for beautiful paper that has grown from a tiny, self-funded company specializing in unique baby stationery into a booming online destination for stylish stationery (and more!) for every occasion.

My business card is a folded card, this is how I present it when I hand it to someone


Tiny Prints Ascending Butterfly Business Card Inside
When the person takes it they can tell it opens, this is the 'inside' of the actual card (I blanked out my phone number, sorry guys! LOL)


Tiny Prints Ascending Butterfly Business Card Back
The back of the card has room for notes, and even though the surface of the card is 'pearlized' you can write on it easily!


My Take:

I had a very demanding vision in my mind for my business cards, I wanted to promote two different offerings on one card, and wanted my card to have pops of color and creativity in addition to my logo and signature butterfly of course, and was delighted to learn of tinyprints custom design service, my card ideas weren't actually something a ready made template would accurately cover, I wanted a card that was way more comprehensive than those I had used in the past. In fact since I started blogging, I've designed a new card each year, which makes perfect sense, the cards evolved as much as me and my site have. But now I'm in more of a 'groove' and wanted to grow into my card instead of it being the other way around all the time.

I was delighted to learn that tinyprints has a Custom Design Service! You can make a completely unique card, work 1-on-1 with a Designer, and they offer a free physical AND digital proof. There is a low One-Time Fee of $25 for the service. My designer was amazingly patient, and he was able to take a very BIG vision and tall order and help me organize it all in a way that made sense from a design standpoint, and still retain the creativity I wanted the card to have. The quality of the cardstock and the brilliant design make these my favorite cards to date! I couldn't recommend tinyprints more, but I will warn you, order at least 100 more than you think you'll need, you'd be surprised just how many you will go through PER conference or networking event with these!

{CLOSED} Win 100 Business Cards from @TinyPrints via @Ascending1


**This Giveaway is now CLOSED and no new comments will be accepted**

2013 is moving forward at lightening pace indeed my butterflies! Keeping up with the pace of this year and the pace of business certianly isn't easy. Can you believe that Blogging Conference Season has begun?

Are you ready?

You are not going to get very much time at each table when you visit the exhibit floor of a conference. There are two things that are going to make an impression, the first is YOU of course, and the second is your Business Card, that's the one that comes back with the company rep you just charmed! But does that card really reflect you? Your brand? and What YOU can do?

I have gone through quite a few business cards since graduating College, but it's been awhile since I have had one that I felt was a true reflection of ME. Business cards have a tendency towards the straight-laced and conservative. Striking a balance between a business card that reflects your creative side and your business side isn't always easy. And no matter what your degree of experience and expertise may be with typography and graphic design, it's a challenge getting your card to be creative, concise and still contain all the information you need to provide.

Christmas in July with @Storkie Express!



I have had pen-pals since elementary school, I remember being very nervous when the teacher described the pen-pal program, while we were never obligated to participate, she was my favorite teacher and since she thought it was a neat idea, I couldn't help but try it.

Thankfully the other school had to 'go first' (because I'm not sure I would have known how to start or what to say). I got a letter from a girl my age, we had so much in common and some major differences too, but we both loved stationery and stickers, and even after the school participation part was over, we remained in touch.

To this day it's still a love of mine, I'm a stationery hound (still collect stickers, but shhhh, let's keep that our little secret), and like kids in a candy store, I can 'browse' in a Hallmark store all day (to the point where I kinda creeped out management, until they realized I had a better idea of their stock and trends then they did and then they'd offer me jobs! This also happened to me visiting massage chairs at my local (to the office) Brookstone Store, but that's a story for another post!).

Stationery is the one thing where I've experienced great trepidation about going digital, like photography purists who hate digital cameras, I love *touching* my stationery and paper and stickers! But my schedule doesn't exactly afford me the luxury of just browsing in stationery stores anymore, and as my Christmas Card List just keeps growing, and is an even mixture of clients and personal, I've been slowly embracing the idea of going digital with it. So this year, I'm thinking Christmas in July because I like to order my cards early. (yes I know there are services now that mail the cards for you, but who will put my favorite cute stickers on the envelopes?)

Finding ways to mix things up with my pen friends since elementary school is NOT an easy task! But I have a funny feeling I'll be ahead of the curve this year, with a great online discovery, Storkie (now here is where I invite you to read carefully, this has nothing to do with babies, so don't go getting my mom excited please, I'm no where near ready to make her a grandma!). Storkie.com sells custom party invitations, save the date cards, holiday cards, photo Christmas cards and my personal favorite CUSTOM CANDY!

Before I delve into Christmas options, I just couldn't resist sharing this photo:

Tri-Fold Off-White Shimmer Card with Butterfly Closure

This card has a matching Butterfly Personalized Cookie that I am in LOVE with! I love the idea of ordering the Butterfly Personalized Cookies as corporate gifts and presenting them in a tin that can be re-purposed after the cookies are gone! And while storkies is listing these as ideas for a birth announcement, invitation or baptism customization, you can have them say anything you want, making them perfect for any reason and any season!

But for those Christmas purists who don't think of butterflies when they think of Christmas like I do, check out their holiday tab to see some neat holiday card ideas (my personal favorite is the Christmas invites with high heel shoes!).

If you are looking for a jump start on your holidays this year, I'd highly recommend trying storkie.com, I'd definitely love to have them host a review and giveaway with Ascending Butterfly soon, and if you would too, feel free to let them know by posting on their facebook wall (you can post right on the the thread I post to their wall sharing this article so we don't flood their page) or by sending them a tweet!
