shoppingsmycardio’s summer giveaway: hi, friend!

posted in giveaway, paper |

{this giveaway is now closed!! our winner was announced right here. thanks for stopping by!}

i have been so excited about this giveaway, it’s been nearly impossible to keep it under my hat.  and now, finally, the time has come to introduce you all to hi, friend design!  started by a pair of extremely talented ladies, this is hands-down my new favorite line of stationery. beautiful, chic, creative and unbelievably well-priced…what more could i ask?

hi, friend specializes in semi-custom (and incredibly affordable) wedding and shower invitations, and honestly, if you know someone getting married, i can’t say enough about how gorgeous they are.

but, well, i’ve already been down that road.  so for me, i’m in it for hi, friend‘s sometimes cheeky, always stylish cards that are absolutely perfect for any occasion at all.

Picture 9

(clearly, i should have asked the talented ladies of hi, friend to help with the graphic for this giveaway. polyvore is just not my friend.)

there literally isn’t a single card in their line that i’m not dying to send to someone i know.  i mean, a flamingo silhouette with a “don’t be tacky” tagline?  or a barbecue proclaiming your friend “a rare one”?  it’s pun-ny perfection for my ultra-corny sense of humor.  and their personalized notecards are so chic, i’m literally looking for excuses to send cards to people, just so i can show them off.

with that, on to the giveaway! one of you lucky, lucky readers (oh, how i envy you) will be taking home a huge gift package that hi, friend is customizing just for us:  a year’s worth of stationery! the winner of this fabulous giveaway will get:  two of each silhouette card at hi, friend (22 in all), a set of 24 custom personalized note cards, a pack of their picture-perfect wine gift bags, and topped off with a completely darling to-do notepad!  in other words, you’ll be spared an entire year of emergency trips to hallmark, and you’ll be forever more known as that friend who always sends the perfect card.  not bad at all, i think.

to win, all you have to do is go take a peek at hi, friend‘s website, and leave a comment here telling us whether you think your style fits their “modern girl”, “vintage girl”, or “classic girl” (personally, i think i’m a little bit of each).  and, as always, nab a bonus entry if you post about the giveaway on twitter (@shoppingscardio and @hifrienddesign), on facebook, on your blog, or whatever else you can think of (town crier, perhaps?). just be sure to let me know how you shared: leave a second comment here to get your bonus entry.

you have until monday (7/19) at noon PDT to enter, and we’ll announce a winner then.  so get those entries in soon!  and a huge, huge thanks to hi, friend for coming up with this fantastic package just for us!

    I’m definitely feeling the vintage line… gorgeous!

  2. 2 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Jenn said:

    I would consider myself a vintage girl, with hints of modern thrown in for a twist! What a great giveaway…would definitely be a step up from my hallmark collection!

    The modern line is adorable, but it’s the vintage line that really called out to me. Beautiful! Thanks for pointing out such a great line – I’m tempted to pick up a few things now!

  6. 6 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Carol Ann said:

    I’m a Vintage-Classic hybrid!

  7. 7 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Meagan said:

    I am a vintage gal. So lovely!

  8. 8 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Meagan said:

    And now all my twitter friends know about this and hopefully ONE of us will win this ;)

  9. 9 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Cami said:

    i think i’m a little bit of all three too… but if i had to pick one, i’d go with modern! ahhh i love paper :) and hi friend!

  10. 10 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Tricia said:

    While I absolutely ADORE the bicycle in the vintage collection, I’m a modern gal at heart. (You can take the girl out of the city. . . )

  11. 11 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Tricia said:

    And now dutifully tweeted!

  12. 12 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Daci said:

    Ummm.. all of the above?! Everything is absolutely adorable. I guess if I had to choose, I’d say modern girl — but those vintage background initial cards are a close second!

  13. 13 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Jacqueline said:

    I’m definitely a classic girl, but I love them all!

  14. 14 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Teddi said:

    um… can I be vintage and modern?? I love them! I am a total paper freak, and I just found my new obsession. Thank you!

  15. 15 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Megan said:

    OK…I feel like I could have created this line myself, love love love it!

  16. 16 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Megan said:

    And tweeted…

  17. 17 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar janessa said:

    Apparently I’m a modern girl, who knew! (It was the cheeky wine bags set that won me over from classic)

    Go me!

  18. 18 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar janessa said:

    tweet tweet! @janessao

  19. 19 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Melissa W. said:

    Classic girl for sure, with a healthy dose of Modern… totally.

  20. 20 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Varty said:

    Totally a Classic girl, though I adore some of the pieces from the modern collection.

  21. 21 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Katie K said:

    DEFINITELY a Vintage Girl–loves me some patterns!

  22. 22 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Melissa W. said:

    I shared the post in Reader… trying to mix it up a bit but that goes to Buzz too.

    My only suggestion is that they switch in a different signature cocktail for the Classic girl. Maybe I’m biased against the cosmo but a martini or gimlet seems much more appropriate.

  23. 23 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Holly said:

    I am sooo a Vintage Girl!

  24. 24 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Kara said:

    I am a vintage girl with a bit o’ classic in me! Love it all!

  25. 25 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Janae Aasen said:

    I am a bit of all three! But lean a little more towards the vintage side. These designs are amazing!! Thanks for the great write up about them!

  26. 26 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Kara said:

    And I posted on Facebook (although I didn’t want to because I would like to win!)

  27. 27 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Kendra said:

    I am love, love, loving the silhouette cards! So I’ve got to go with Modern. But I can think of friends that I’d love to send cards to from each collection! Thanks for sharing this site with us!

  28. 28 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Leah Smith said:

    What you do with vintage is pure genius. Your style is all that and a glass of Pinot Noir on the side. Copying is the ultimate form of flattery and I definitely long to copy your style.
    I am fond of all the lines, but adore the vintage throw backs.
    I have always been known for loving snail mail and I keep the USPS in business.
    Pick me! Pick me!

  34. 34 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Sunyi said:

  35. 35 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Amy W said:

    I like both the classic and the modern, but I think I’m a little more of the modern girl, they’re just so funny but simple. I love it!

  36. 36 On July 14th, 2010, Wavatar Amy W said:

    Oh, and now my twittervserse knows too! @AmyWingDesigns

    Super cute- I vote modern. woot!

  47. 47 On July 15th, 2010, Wavatar Kristina said:

    I think I lean more towards “Classic”!

    I really want that “you’re a hot mess” wine gift bag. And the “dear” card. I know exactly who those would go to!

  48. 48 On July 15th, 2010, Wavatar Ariel said:

    I’ve always been a “classic girl” when it comes to stationary. “Tart” is really catching my eye~

  49. 49 On July 15th, 2010, Wavatar Grace said:

    I’m a little pit of a mix of “modern” and “classic”…which seems to be rare in Portland which is a city full of “vintage” girls

  50. 50 On July 15th, 2010, Wavatar Melissa Tomeoni said:

    I’ve got a little of each but gravitate towards modern girl. I love their stationary and have one of the notepads on my fridge right now!

    I think I am mostly the classic girl, but also a bit of the modern girl! I love the stationary, I’m such a fan generally!

  53. 53 On July 16th, 2010, Wavatar Catherine said:

    Thanks for introducing this fabulous line! I’m always looking for great stationary. If forced to pick one, I’d go for the classic, but the modern one is so much fun too!

  54. 54 On July 16th, 2010, Wavatar Hillary said:

    This is a great line! I think that I am a mix between the vintage girl and the casual girl, depends on the day! However, the modern girl cards are irresistible as well. The whole line is fabulous, let’s be honest.

  55. 55 On July 16th, 2010, Wavatar Shirlene said:

    This stationery is great. In fact, I just ordered invites for a bridal shower. I am struggling between the modern and vintage, but if I have to choose it would be the vintage line.

  56. 56 On July 16th, 2010, Wavatar Erin said:

    I love them all – if I had to pick, I’d go vintage.

    I am a vintage-classic amalgamation…though this was a hard one to determine since I have a dollop of modern in me as well.

  71. 71 On July 18th, 2010, Wavatar M said:

    I’m so modern! I can’t see myself fitting in anywhere else.

  80. 80 On July 18th, 2010, Wavatar Page said:
