This giveaway is now closed! The winner is Ashlee (angashlee@…)!

I’d love to get beautiful, high-quality, unique business cards, though, and recently I’ve thought about getting generic business cards for my company, Purple Martin Press, LLC, without listing my individual sites.

UPrinting die-cut business cards come in a variety of specialty shapes (like those seen above), to give you a business card that really stands out.

We didn’t get them, thinking we’d be able to find them again some other time, but I haven’t [...]
