father's day giveaway {tiny prints}


WARNING: If you are Levi's dad or grandpa, DO NOT read this post until after Father's Day. 
If you do, you will ruin your surprise...and that would be no fun!

I am so excited about my Father's Day cards this year...actually they are mostly from Levi, but I am still excited. And with Father's Day being a week and a half away, I am even more excited that my cards are here and ready to go. They even delivered these cute cards to my door. It doesn't get much better than that!

When Tiny Prints contacted my about reviewing their Father's Day products, I wasn't sure what to expect. I mean really...how creative can you get with Father's Day...especially Father's Day cards?! I usually have such a hard time picking out a card that adequately expresses the incredible dad that Joel is to our kids and the incredible dads that we were so blessed to grow up with. Most Father's Day cards are so cheesy.

As I started clicking around Tiny Prints I was so happy with what I found. I actually ended up making two cards for Joel because I couldn't pick just one. One is from Levi and one is from me. Of course, the fact that you can personalize these cards is my favorite part. I added some of my favorite pictures and then wrote a personal message inside of each one.

This is the inside of Levi's card to his daddy. He wrote it all by himself, of course!

I also made Father's Day cards for Levi's grandpas. They turned out so cute. I was very impressed with the picture quality of these cards. They really look great!

And I loved that you can add pictures inside of the card too...and it doesn't even change the price. Don't you think Levi's grandpa will love having a card with this sweet face inside?

There are so many cards to choose from. These were the ones I chose...definitely my favorites:

Special Dad Father's Day CardMemorable Mosaic Father's Day Card

Grand Love Father's Day CardSweet Spot Father's Day Card Isn't He Grand Father's Day Card
Oh, and I forgot to tell you that you can even add a Tango gift card to your order. Tiny Prints will print the gift card and code right inside of your card. Perfect if you are not sure what to get the dad in your life this year! Shhh...don't tell Joel...but we added one to his card just for fun!

 Levi loves looking at his picture in these cards. So fun. We can't wait to give them to his daddy and grandpas on Father's Day!

Tiny Prints provides stylish, adorable stationery from thank you cards to birth announcements and party invitations to even photo cards. With Tiny Prints by your side, commemorating every holiday and momentous occasion is a cinch!

I actually ordered the memorable mosaic as well! I ended up using it for my husband and the grandpas and just changed out a few pictures on each to ones with my daughter and the recipient in them. Since she is 7 months old the pictures range from birth to now, but I like the way you did pics from one time frame. I can't wait to give them away!

Stephanie said...

These are so neat! I feel like I found out about the greatest stuff from you. :) I am definitely going to have to make some of these this week. I love all of the ones you picked and the "life example" card. What would we do without the support of wonderful men like these in our life???

Amber said...

I think the "Mustache Madness" card is so cute, especially for dads with mustaches (my dad had one my whole life), and with a funny photo of the kids sporting fake mustaches on the inside. I also like the "Priceless Pictures" card because my husband loves photography and it could showcase some of his photos well. They have so many cute designs!

Brittanie said...

I love most of the cards, but the "One Day" and "The Best Dad Ever" are perfect for my girls and their relationship with their Daddy.

Mommy to Two said...

My favorite is the "Universal Champion" card. Our 2 year old LOVES space ("Look mama, MOON and STARS over THERE" lol). The fact that I could add their pictures make the card even more perfect!

Karina said...

What wonderful cards - I would never have known about this if it weren't for you (my deal with my husband is he gets a sausage and a beer from me on Father's Day - the kids make him a card).

I may have to spoil him this year. My favourite is the one that says "D is for Dad" in orange and brown script on a yellow ribbon, with your own photo mounted behind it.

Thank you for yet more inspiration, Jess, you never seem to run out!

Jennifer said...

I loved the Mustache Madness card. All of my son's grandpa's have a mustache and he thinks its histerical! Awesome products overall.

Levi's hair is so blond! Handsome boy!

Lacie and Stephen said...

I like the "Cereal Star!" It is SUPER goofy, but I like it if anything because when I read my daughter her bedtime books and Daddy is in the other room, we say "Hey ho Daddy-O" to get him to come back for prayer time! I think that he would LOVE the goofy connection to his goofy girls!
-Lacie Hutchins

Since my husband is a pilot, it would have to be "Antique Aerial". I did these Tiny Prints cards for Mother's Day! They came out so great! My mother and MIL loved them!

Bethany said...

Sweet Spot! Love the idea of mostly a picture. They are definitely worth a thousand words

L ~ S said...

I love making cards online! I am not so good with scrapbooking, but online I can do! I love the cards you made.

Our family said...

Lots to pick from! I am going to vote for "Grand Love" but I love lots of them.

I would love to win this as I still need to send out birth announcements (my little guy is almost 3 months old) and the $50 would be useful!
