Alright lady friends. I know you are all sitting at home with a house full of kids and possibly a hidden talent that needs to be explored. I admit that I have a thing for cards and scrapbooking so this website is awesome. And being that I majored in this area this website has got me going crazy. CardsInk.com is a website were you can go and submit card designs, vote on card designs and purchase other people's card designs. This company allows it's users to vote on the cards, those cards with the highest votes make it to the printing press or offset printer and you earn $100 bucks. I know you all have some design in the back of your heads and you are wondering if other people would think it is cool as well. So find out. Check out CardsInk.com

Offset Printing- The following card is an example of an already popular artist Holly Brooke Jones. But you don't have to be as well know as her to make it to print.


Offset printing- This card is by Lisa Nelson.


Letterpress! If you don't know what a letter press is Google it. Imagine a 100 year old press, the large kind- think Guttenburg, or think colonial, with real ink and a person manually setting each card, yeah it's that cool.

This is art work designed by the well known artist Jacob Carter.
I have ordered a number of cards from this site. Truly amazing pieces of art that you share with your friends. Keep in mind these are not cheep Hallmark cards selling 5 for a buck at Albertsons. This is art put into a card. I've been really impressed by the quality of paper CardInk is using, one of my obsessions is paper- so if you know paper like I do, you will love their 100% cotton paper- letter pressed works of art.

Check them out! CardsInk.com my new obsession. For those of you wondering, no I have not submitted any art work yet. It is on my to do list. When I do you will know because I'll be begging you all to go on and vote for my art work!!
