Those of you old school readers (as in, from seven years ago or so) may remember that I have a thing for pretty paper. I don’t write about it like I did back in the stone age, but my craft room is still full of more pretty paper than I will probably ever use. Thankfully, I have a daughter who loves to do arts and crafts and she is helping put a dent in my stash. This frees me up to purchase even more paper products to make sure that we never run out.
Enter Minted.
The lovely Madeline (She’s Canadian!) emailed me to ask if I’d be interested in doing a review and a giveaway. I’ve been a fan of Minted for a long time, even though I’ve never purchased from them. I have friends who do and every time I receive a card or an invite, I marvel at how sublime their products are. If you’ve never heard of Minted, they are an online stationery, art, and party store powered by a global community of independent designers.
They are promoting their wedding invitations, as it is the season, and it being almost thirteen years (!) since my wedding, I wondered if I could write about wedding invitations. Then I looked at them. YOU GUYS. Nothing even remotely as awesome as this existed thirteen (!) years ago and then I started looking at the inspiration boards and, well. I want a do-over.
(Not on the marriage, for the record. Just on the fun planning stuff and the pretty paper involved.)
They’ve given me a credit to use (Full disclosure) and I spent almost TWO HOURS yesterday lost in the rabbit hole of their products.
I love this personalized journal and stationery set (Which I Pinned) and there are a few others that I think would make perfect gifts.
They have a ton of great greeting card options, invitations, art prints, and more. I’m going to have no problem whatsoever spending the credit they gave me, and then some.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because they want me to give a $50 credit to one of you lucky readers and it’s really easy to enter.
Go to their site (http://www.minted.com/) take a look around and tell me what you would spend it on. That’s it.
If you love them as much as I do and want to follow them in all of your social media circles (as I do), here’s where you can find them:

I would stock up on birthday cards from their greeting cards line. I especially like the faux bois and chalkboard designs.
I LOVE it all. So hard. I would get a tonne of thank you cards to have on hand and also a new journal for me. So pretty!!!
Definitely party banners, party signs and cupcake stickers, as well as everything else. Why haven’t I looked on line for party stuff before? This site is exactly what I need.

So pretty! The new site! Love it! Way to go, Jen!
Oh my. The Art prints. I would have a hard time narrowing it down to less than 10 of them that I LOVE!
So so many to choose from!!! This would come in handy for my daughter’s communion invites for June!
Oh man, it’s a tough choice! I’d probably get one of the art prints, some stationary, or maybe even business cards (although I have to redesign my food website first, before I can start to think about those).
I would get birth announcements. Great stuff!
wow – amazing stuff! There are SO many things I would get…but I’ll just pick one for the sake of this comment:
probably one of their Children’s Wall ARt (loved the Family tree ones), or a journal.
So great!
I might be 30, but the Robot Friends will be mine. =)
I love the art prints, but the journals are definitely my favorite.
Ahhhh. I also drool over Minted and all their “places” on the web, but get too overwhelmed and never end up ordering anything! I would order a couple ” Baby Note Books” for baby gifts, since it seems like there’s something in the water lately. And then I’d order some thank you cards since I’m a BIG thank you card writer! So much to give thanks for! Eek! Hope I win. If not, I’ll finally be placing my order since I’ve got a few things in my cart right now. haha
I would stock up on thankyou cards. They have an awesome selection!
I would definitely get an art print and / or a journal. They’re NICE!
I think I’d like a big print of one of my own photos – we need a few more for the bathroom.

Thanks for a chance to win!
I’d love the Nantucket Birth Announcements :)
I would love to design business cards for my new photography business!
I would use it for thankyous for my wedding.
I would choose the lace thank you notes.
I love minted too! I would be so happy to get a baby journal from them . I love A gemma the giraffe one! So cute!
