Fun, Personalized Business/Mommy Cards by PaperRamma {Review and Giveaway} **CLOSED**

12 Powered by RANDOM.ORG

Congratulations to the winner, MJ!

I happened upon PaperRamma while searching for some cute business cards to advertise my blog. I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg, and I wanted something a little different from your traditional business cards. These PaperRamma cards were the perfect mix. They are so cute, have a unique design, and get the job done to advertise my blog! Amanda was so easy to work with, and customized every part of my card including colors, wording, font, and design. I love the scalloped edges of the card, and the smaller size. They would definitely stand out from other cards if you handed them out at a craft fair, at work, around town, or at another event. They are printed on very nice quality cardstock and printed on both sides. One side has your typical business card information, and the other has a beautiful damask design (mine does...others available). As cute as these cards are, they are made even more appealing, and functional, by the little tin carrying case that they are stored in! Amanda has taken a circular tin case, filled it with your custom cards, and added a coordinating ribbon and clasp so that your cards can be clipped anywhere for easy access. What a great idea! They can easily clip to your purse, keychain, or wherever else you can think of, so that you can access them easily whenever you need to.
Don't have a need for a business card, per se? They would also make great mommy cards for playdates or other situations where you need to quickly give someone your information (e-mail, address, etc.). Everyone could find a use for these little cards. And, as I said above, Amanda was great to work with and was always super quick to reply. We worked with several samples until I was happy with design, and she printed and shipped lightning fast. I would recommend these cards to anyone needing a cute, functional card for whatever reason. You also wont find a better deal than $14.95 for a completely custom set of 50! If you'd like to score a set for yourself, head on over to PaperRamma and check them out, or enter to win right here!

Not Your Average Keychain! The Card Holder Keyfob by Cassy Lain Totes {Review and Giveaway} **CLOSED**

43 Powered by RANDOM.ORG

Congrats to the winner, a.l.s.!

In college I always carried a leather key fob with my college logo on it. It was filled with my student ID, driver's license, cash (though not too often...), and other important cards. I never went anywhere without it (mainly because it was attached to my keys, so I really couldn't go anywhere without it), and often went places with only my keys because they carried everything important. After college I got rid of my keychain card holder, because, well, I have no idea why. I tell you this story because I have recently decided that another key chain like this would be very handy! However, this time I needed something a little lighter and more fashionable. I wanted to be able to carry around my super cute PaperRamma cards for my blog, my license, and debit card.
I found a great solution at Cassy Lain Totes with their adorable key fobs. They are made in a variety of designer fabrics (I chose a pink and green Amy Butler print...I know you're surprised...), clip right on to your keychain (or can be used on their own as your keychain), and have a generously sized pocket to stash your stuff! The key fobs are made with a dual layer of fabric (print on the outside and a coordinating solid on the inside) and are professionally sewn.
There is no stabilizer between the fabric which keeps the keychain light and a little more "adjustable" in my opinion. Not sure if "adjustable" is really the right word, but anyway, you can probably put more stuff in there than if it had a rigid shape, if you know what I mean. I love the snap closure (rather than a zipper) and the way it folds up to keep everything securely inside. When opened, you fold up the bottom flap, fold down the top flap over the pocket, then snap it closed. Everything stays right in place! I am currently using it to keep my business cards in. I keep 25 with me at all times and there is more than enough room to stash more cards, money, coupons, etc. if I needed to to.
If I just have to run in the store for something by myself, I slip in my ID and debit card and I'm ready to go.

I don't think I'll ever go without this little key fob again. It's so nice to have something so cute and useful attached to my keys all the time. To purchase one of your own, check out Cassy Lain Totes. You can also find some totes to match your cute key fob as well! Want to WIN your own key fob? Follow the simple rules below to enter.
