Last week I had the pleasure of attending not one, but two luncheons surrounding holiday greetings. Admittedly, I get nervous when I learn about "competing" products because I end up loving them all, and don't want to choose one over the other.
Well, I'm in luck because although I got to check out the latest offerings from one of my long-term favorites - tiny prints - the other luncheon I attended dealt with a very different product, so I won't feel guilty for profiling them both, here. (So stay tuned...)
So... tiny prints and I go waaaaay back. Seriously.
I learned about them way back in 2008. Family and friends gushed about my holiday photo cards that year, and so in 2009 I noticed many of the holiday cards we received had "tiny prints" on the back. Of course, in 2010 I kept up the trend, and posted about them after a tour of their digs. Last year I sent the naughty/nice flip card, and the recipients absolutely raved about it.
That makes this year's card a challenge, since I think last year's was The Best Ever. But... here are some designs that I've saved in my "favorites" at tiny prints:
I love the clean simplicity of this "festive formal" design. It lends itself to both candid and posed photographs, either casual or more put together.
There are a bunch of retro-inspired cards that I'm really digging this year. "Rudolph Throwback" is one I marked last year as being a favorite - will it be the winner this year? And then "Distinct Wishes" makes me think of a peppermint bark tin, yum!
Speaking of peppermint bark, I'm big on stripes, whether rugby (like "Warmly Striped") or more of the candy-cane inspired, like the back of "Loving Wishes."
And then there is the "non-bright color" route, and aqua or mint green is definitely a favorite of mine, either combined with westerny-theme in "Banner Holidays", or with a simple graphic, like in "Festive Woods."
I have plenty of other favorites, too, so selecting the winning card is going to be a challenge. Fortunately, having too many designs from which to pick is a much better problem than having too few!
