Paperspring was launched in 2008 by Charlie Chan Printing, a commercial printing company based in Los Angeles, California. Founded by none other than Charlie Chan (not the detective, just a regular guy who happened to be named “Charlie Chan”) in 1969, our humble printing company has produced beautiful print products for over 40 years. Our corporate clients include ESPN, Paramount, and the Westin hotels, to name a few.

In 2002, Charlie’s son, Hamilton, took over the family business after graduating from Harvard College and Harvard Law School and thoroughly burning out of the corporate lifestyle. He is now the proud father of two wonderful (and unruly) toddlers, and delights when they play with Paperspring products, marking them up with crayons and placing them all over the house. Today, Paperspring’s family of designers, project managers, programmers and presspeople aim to please our clients with our trademark and legendary standards of service and quality.

This holiday season when you are looking to make unique Christmas cards look no further than Paperspring. I was able to find a great picture of my family (which is very rare) and made our cards this year. Not only did I get a great holiday card from Paperspring but I am such a huge fan of their StickyStock paper and ordered some more of that, now my wall has expanded.

The above card is the Holiday Wreath: Green card and I had a lot of fun creating it as I was looking for a photo of us that kind of blended in the background color and this one worked perfectly! The card is actually a little longer than seen here but I cropped off my personal message and our names.

Another cool concept and one I will be using next year is the Digital Name Art holiday cards, they are very original indeed! These are two of my favorites:

I recommend Paperspring for all your card needs for the holidays and beyond. I have been given the opportunity to host a giveaway of a gift card for $60 to Paperspring for holiday cards this season. Please see rules below to enter to win today! Paperspring is also offering 20% off all holiday cards now through December 13. Use promo code DIRTYSHIRT at checkout!

I was so excited to be able to do a review of Paperspring and their products. I am always in need of thank you cards and stationary and the items they carried were so unique! I have nothing but good things to say about them and their products. I received a set of beautiful thank you cards and also one of the best inventions I have ever seen in a paper product.

Tiny Bouquet Thank You Cards – fun, personal, etc!

Your thank you’s deserve to be said in special way. This 5.5 x 4.25, Folded, Premium matte tiny bouquet personalized thank you card is sweet and full of freshness!

This card was just beautiful to me, simply beautiful. And I ended up just leaving the inside blank so I could add my own special words when I needed to use one. I love these cards and will definitely be getting more when I run low!

Inscribe-it.com is a genius company that allows you to personalize books in a way that I have not seen before. And when I was asked to review the process I was so excited and knew exactly what I wanted to do, give my favorite book from when I was a child with a dedication to my daughter for her 10th birthday.

For those that do not know, here is what Heidi is about:

Author: Johanna Spyri
Illustrator: Scott McKowen

What happens when a little orphan girl is forced to live with her cold and frightening grandfather? The heartwarming answer has engaged children for more than a century, both on the page and on the screen. Johanna Spyri’s beloved story offers youngsters an endearing and intelligent heroine, a cast of unique and memorable characters, and a fascinating portrait of a small Alpine village.

I do not know why this book always stood out for me in my childhood, but I do know that I have lost count of the many times I have read it. And because it had a special place in my heart as a child I wanted to pass that on to my daughter. And Inscribe-it.com gave me the chance to not only give my daughter a special hardcover copy but I was also able to add a special dedication to it. Below is how a dedication page can look, it is not mine as that was special I only want shared with my daughter, but you can see what you can add to it.

And with hundreds of titles and great categories you will find that special one to give as a gift to your child, mom dad or grandparent. Here are the categories you can browse by: Boys 1-5, Boys 6-12, Girls 1-5, Girls 6-12, Teens, Moms, Dads. So be sure to stop by Inscribe-it.com for your special, unique gift for a loved one. These really make memorable gifts!

Great News! I have just been given permission to host a giveaway for a voucher for $19.95 so you too can dedicate a book to a loved one. Please see rules below to enter.
