Win It: seventy & sunny.
I’ve been a teeny tiny bit obsessed with calling cards for the past few months, so I’m really excited about Win It: seventy & sunny! The oh-so-lovely Alyson from seventy & sunny (as well as the awesome blog unruly.things!) will give the winner a custom designed set of 25 calling cards.
So how do you win, you ask? Leave a comment telling me what illustrated item you’d love to have on your set of calling cards and why. Alyson’s the crafty type, so it can be pretty much anything! You have until this Friday, August 1st at 12:00 pm CST to enter. (U.S. residents only for this one, folks.) Once the doors close I’ll randomly pick a winner. May the force be with you!
**THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED**

July 28, 2008 at 4:34 pmI just graduated from law school (and am taking the bar tomorrow), so I would love a calling card. Especially because I am moving to a city where I don’t know anyone, something less traditional than the regular business cards would be wonderful!

July 28, 2008 at 5:13 pmI’m a Naval Officer and a silly mom. I’m not sure what would be good, maybe a cute rowboat or fish? Open to suggestions.

July 28, 2008 at 5:16 pmI have just mightly crushed and defeated the archnemsis which is called undergraduate education! Now I venture forth with a website as my shield, my creations as my sword, and now I need a banner to announce my approach as I smash forward towards conquering the dragons of post-college life!
While an actual banner in purple and pink would be a bit impratical in the back of a Camry, I think a palm-sized calling card could be a nice substitute. It is more subtle, but maybe I’ll get in the good graces of the citizens of the world and win via subtle grace and sophistication as opposed to force.
I think something which plays on the theme of my website/production company name of Ghost of Daisies would be nice (www.godaisies.com/blog).

July 28, 2008 at 5:58 pmAs an architect staring his own firm I’m still stumped as to what I should put on a business card. I’m thinking it needs to be modern yet follow the green movement. How about some green modern architecture. I’m artsy but need professional help! Pick me, me, me, please!
Julia
July 28, 2008 at 7:46 pmI’d love to have an elephant on a calling card.
Sylvie
July 28, 2008 at 7:52 pmI would like a fennec fox on mine!
I am starting a career in publishing, which doesn’t have much to do with foxes of any kind, but I’d like one of the fennec variety so much!

July 28, 2008 at 8:25 pmI once did an entire project where I tried to assign a single object to each person I know based on their personalities. One of my best friends is a kite, the other is a steering wheel.
If I could pick one object that represents me it would be a dandelion- in it’s puffer-ball form.
The reasons are as follows:
-I’d like to think of myself as a motivated person but sometimes need a push- or a light breeze- in order to take flight to my full potential.
-The places and people most important to me are scattered across the country and I’d like to think that a little bit of me is always with them wherever they go.
-While my area of study is primarily Industrial Design, my interests are as scattered as they come- ranging from studying sign language, to wanting to be everything from an EMT, to a fitness/yoga instructor
-Also being sometimes loud, I can be seen as somewhat of a weed at times.
-I’m one of those phenomenons who loves flying and the journey of commuting
-I think the most important part of even the most short lived periods of our lives is the experience it leaves behind
-As a designer, I would like to think that even when I am gone, that those little seeds of insight or knowledge that I have spread will have life beyond me in some form or another for generations to come
And thus I think a dandelion is most suited to represent me, at this present time.
Cheesy, I know!

July 28, 2008 at 8:31 pmI’d have the cute little flowers that are my blog header on my card. What a cool give away, thanks for the opportunity! 🙂

July 28, 2008 at 9:53 pmI would like a book because it summarizes me: writer, editor, bookbinder, blogger.
Andria
July 28, 2008 at 9:58 pmI’m trying to redefine my life and I’m trying to figure out exactly what the entails….so I would like a magnifying glass on some calling cards.
Lisa
July 28, 2008 at 10:13 pmI would love these!!! Some modern and a bit funky. Or even a simple flower. I have a cherry blossom tattoo…so maybe one of those.
erica
July 28, 2008 at 10:17 pmah goodness, that’s a hard question to answer. i would probably go with a treehouse, because that’s where i’d like to live nowadays.

July 28, 2008 at 11:15 pmi’d love a little green suitcase because i’ve got a fierce case of wanderlust these days.
Lee
July 28, 2008 at 11:26 pmI would want a Lomo Lubitel (twin lens camera). It was a gift from a friend that really helped me get excited about photography again.
Claire
July 29, 2008 at 12:12 amHmm… I’d have to say something with stars and planets. Or a flying saucer. Or a cute robot! Too many possibilities, but one thing’s for sure: I’m a bit of a science fiction geek.
Thanks for doing this contest!
sunny
July 29, 2008 at 12:47 amI don’t know. I love a few different kinds of flowers…but am drawn to the hot pink gerbera daisies..so maybe something along those lines. am open to suggestions.
great giveaway..thanks!
Amanda
July 29, 2008 at 1:08 amWhile this might not be the most unique idea, I’d love to have a calling card with pink or red cherry blossoms 🙂 I love going to the DC festival every year and they are just so happy and friendly.
Laura
July 29, 2008 at 1:38 amThis is the first summer in ten years I haven’t spent at sleepaway camp. I would love calling cards that feature a playful otter or two – the mascot of my home away from home.

July 29, 2008 at 2:00 amSince I am going to be a counselor I would love to have one of those vintage therapy couches on my card where people can lay down and just open up their heart.
Rebecca
July 29, 2008 at 2:37 amI would love cards with a clover & bee after my favorite Emily Dickinson poem–because, well, I'm a poet.
Love Alyson's work! 🙂
Abbie
July 29, 2008 at 3:48 pmI am obsessed with birds, so I would have a bird put on them… maybe a calligraphy-style bird. What a great giveaway!
Leila
July 29, 2008 at 4:00 pmThis is such a fun giveaway! Thank you!!
I think that if I were to have a calling card I’d like to have either a fancy scrolly thing (because those are always pretty) or a spool of thread (because I can imagine Alyson making a really great-looking one.
Alana
July 29, 2008 at 4:23 pmMy first love is baking and I’ve recently graduated with a photography degree . . . so I would love something in between a camera and baked good . . haha I don’t know what that would be, but would love to find out!
This is very fun/nice.
Summer (designismine)
July 29, 2008 at 4:36 pmHow wonderful! I would love a cupcake or macaron because I am a baker who loves her sweets!
Jessie
July 29, 2008 at 6:24 pmI have been looking into getting calling cards made for quite sometime now… so I have already thought this through. I LOVE anything vintage and am working on starting a business that helps people “open doors”, SOOOO I think a vintage skeleton key would be quite appropriate.
Deb
July 29, 2008 at 7:44 pmI would love one with two smart looking owls…because I need all the help I can get…and a calling card that doesnt show my work name bigger than my own!
Brook
July 29, 2008 at 9:55 pmI would like an outliney portrait on a calling card. I have business cards but always feel like kind of a geek giving them out socially!

Kelly
July 30, 2008 at 3:31 amI *love* calling cards. What a fun thing to do. I would want a card with a cotton boll on it. It’s what we grow.
roopa
July 30, 2008 at 4:50 amI would absolutely love some cards with a purple giraffe on them – outside of my day job, I bake and sell killer cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, and my little company’s name is The Purple Giraffe, so what better to put on my cards! I’ve searched high and low for a graphic that I can use but all I keep finding are actual photos of giraffes and no cute stylized drawings. Sigh.

July 30, 2008 at 5:42 ami would have a bumble bee because my name meand bumble bee and they are hard workers and they are fiesty. thanks!!
Oh Inverted World!

Apt. #34
July 30, 2008 at 7:07 pmI’d love an a simple design – like a swirl that looks like a rush of wind is pushing across the paper – as if I’m just breezing through but leavin’ this card behind!
Narnia
July 31, 2008 at 2:56 pmI think I’d love a small dogwood blossom- simple and clean and indicative of my home.
Patti
July 31, 2008 at 7:18 pmThose are adorable! I’d love to have some made with a cute illustration of a laptop, or a stack of books…since we long-term grad students seem to be glued to them both.
Missy
July 31, 2008 at 7:51 pmohhh… love calling cards! i have been obsessed with birds/nests/birdcages/eggs for the past year or so, so I would love a card with a little singing bird in a cage…kinda like the bird is “calling” whomever is in earshot!
love your blog!
Becky
August 1, 2008 at 1:31 amI’ve been looking to get calling cards to give out when I’m working at dress rehearsals. I’m a professional seamstress who works mostly for dance companies. So, I’d love some sort of vintage looking sewing tool.
Robyn
August 1, 2008 at 2:00 amI would love some calling cards, maybe with a little robin bird on it… or an owl. I love nature!
Jennifer
August 1, 2008 at 1:10 pmMy sister is in Dental School and I know she would love some calling cards with a tooth or something cute and dentist-y.
cassondra
August 1, 2008 at 2:40 pmDefinitely a bicycle. Bikes represent independence, efficiency,adventure and movement. They all provide a wonderful commute option alternative.
Thanks for the contest. Love seventy & sunny designs.

August 1, 2008 at 4:50 pmi would just love something with some fun polka dots or a bright, bold daisy. i don’t really have a good reason for those choices, i just love them! and they’re fun, bright and always make me smile! 🙂
