Paperspring - review and giveaway (plus a coupon code!)

We are completely caught up in the "back to school fever" here in casa de Wisconsin Mommy. That kind of snuck up on all of us didn't it? Last thing I remember we were cooking burgers for Memorial Day and planting little seedlings in the garden! Now it's mid-August and we have zucchini coming out of our ears.

Before you know it snow will be falling and it will be time to order the holiday greeting cards.

*WHAT??? She didn't just start talking about holiday cards already, did she? Yup - she did.*

But wait, it's for a good reason! Last month, a care package from BSM Media and Mom Magazine arrived unexpectedly on my doorstep. Among all the goodies, I noticed a series of cards and baby announcement samples that were just gorgeous. They were from a company I wasn't familiar with, Paperspring.

Now I don't have any baby announcements I need to be sending out anytime soon, so I put the offer for a free order on my desk to check out later. Eventually, I popped over to their website and immediately noticed their incredibly unique DNA cards. (No these are not cards with saliva samples smeared on them!)

DNA stands for Digital Name Art and it is this incredibly cool technology where they put a name on the card and incorporate it into the design. Let me show you - it's hard to do it justice in words:

Seriously - how cool are those?? You can order cards with your name on them or put the name of the person you are sending it to. They have a ton of designs to choose from and a bunch of holiday ones as well. I ordered my Christmas cards and it took just a few minutes to design them!

Now, I should mention that Paperspring has much more than just their DNA line - they have beautiful photo cards as well as stationary and address labels. You can really find whatever you need there!

The nice folks at Paperspring want you to try them out too. That's why they are offering all Wisconsin Mommy readers $10 off any order of $50 or more plus free shipping with the code PSAUGUST (expires 8/31). AND one lucky reader gets to win a $50 gift certificate as well.
