10,000 Comment Giveaway #1: 3 Comments

For further information about what this is and why I’m doing it, you can read more about 10,000 Comment Thank You Giveaway Week here.

I was on the hunt for unique products for this giveaway and I found them in Marisa’s shop Made by Marisa Moon. Each of her cards are hand embroidered with sweet details and feature script much prettier than what I could possibly accomplish with a pen in hand. Whoever you choose to present this card to will know you really mean it when they are holding this work of art in hand. This particular card is done on light blue pearlized paper and I fell in love with it because of that pretty dandelion blowing on the front.

Card details (from her item description):
- hand-embroidered
- the card is blank on the inside, for your personal message
- the card measures approximately 4.25″ x 5.5″
- card accompanied by a white envelope

See more of Marisa’s work here. Isn’t this sleigh Christmas card wonderful?

1. Simply comment below to enter. Feel free to say something nice about Marisa’s card or her shop as it will make her feel all tingly inside.

    I’ve never seen a hand embroided card before. Do we know if she uses a different/specific kind of paper for that? I would assume so…
    It’a very cute idea. I smiled when I saw the halloween ones.

    Made by Marisa Reply:

    Thanks for the compliment - I use regular card stock to embroidery on - it’s just slightly thicker than construction paper.

    Cécy Reply:

    That makes sense, thank you. I was curious on how it worked without tearing the paper.

  10. schmei says:

    My only concern is that, if I won this, I would end up dropping a bunch more money at her site because I couldn’t pick just one design…

  29. Erin says:

    Cute, cute, cute! I love things with texture!

  30. Cristin says:

    I am SO impressed that she can stitch like that. I am uber-curious whether its hand-stitched or if she has a fancy-schmancy machine. Either way, I can barely sew in a straight line by hand or by machine - I’m impressed!

    Made by Marisa Reply:

    I hand stitch only - I try REALLY hard to make lines straight and the stitches even but they aren’t always :)

  31. Barb says:

    I like the idea of the week of giveaways. The card is adorable!

  32. Amber says:

    I am REALLY hoping this is my 3rd comment. I so often forget to click over from Google reader to leave a comment.

    I love that card! The blue is close to one of our wedding colors. It would be “perfect” if only it was a sunflower not a daisy ;)

  33. Courtney says:

    Those cards are too cute!

  34. Congrats on a year of blogging! I love the stitched card :)

  35. megan says:

    In my next life, I hope I’m crafty! I’m always so impressed by what the Etsy sellers are able to create! Beautiful card!

  36. Turtle says:

    I love having a fabulous card like this “on deck” for special occasions.

  37. Teale says:

    I love this card! I am such a huge fan of daisies (they played a big part in my wedding), and that little flower looks kind of like one…. love the detail!

  38. I’m pretty sure I’ve commented at least three times. That card is so cute!

  39. Made by Marisa says:

    Thank you SO much for the kind words Jenna and for the publicity! I love your blog and reading all the comments….

  40. Christy says:

    That is so cute! I would love to use it as a “something blue” to thank someone who is helping with my wedding!
