This giveaway is now closed. Thank you so much for stopping by. The winner is Casey H. Congratulations!
Nothing replaces the timeless tradition of a handwritten note on elegant stationery. One of my hobbies BC (before children) was collecting beautifully designed stationery from all over the world. While content is important, design is an expression of style and personality. Paper Shouts is a chic stationery company with a flair for the unique. From vintage to modern and everything in between, Paper Shouts offers fabulous invitations and announcements for any occasion.
The company is committed to protecting the environment and prints all of their stationery on 100% recycled, high-quality uncoated paper (although you’d never know it!). They are also donating a percentage of their proceeds from holiday cards to Our City Forest (OFC), an organization created to cultivate a greener, healthier urban environment and a renewed sense of community through planting and care of the urban forest.
Many of the designs allow you to personalize the invite or announcement with a photo. Take a look at some of favorite designs:

I like the vintage cranberry wrap design, my green tip is to always remember to bring your reusable tote bags to the grocery store, it saves so much by not using those awful plastic bags!
hazel hunt says

Jenn S. says
I really like the Holiday Doves design. I love the colors. My green tip, is if you have to fill up your gas tank do it at night.

FireMom says
Oh, very nice. I like this card: http://www.papershouts.com/store/default.asp?id=2016
My green tip is to use Clorox Green Works cleaners. We just recently got the dish soap, replacing our other stuff, and we’re REALLY liking the smell and the cleaning work of it!
(Also, your twitter link does not work or I would follow you. Email me when you fix the link so I can find you!)

I really love the dark cranberry 3 photo card, I love the colors, it’s simple and it would look great with black and white pictures of my 3 kids!
A green tip: well we’ve just replaced more outside lights with “green” light bulbs! We always go grocery shopping with reusable bags!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Sandy says
holiday doves is my favorite
reusue boxes and packing you get and ship out
Jennifer H. says
I love everything, but my favorite is the Cranberry and Green Floral. I love the eco friendly shopping bags. They are convenient for many purposes but also help to avoid using paper and plastic bags at various stores.
I’d be thrilled to win! Thanks for the chance!
jessica s says
the holiday doves are so nice.
We like to use cloth to wrap presents, then it can be easily reused in crafts
Patti says
I love the 2 Photo Christmas Tree. I blog about going green and doing is cheaply! But a favorite tip of mine: One cup a day. We give our cups a quick rinse after drinking and use them again! It saves so much room in the dishwasher that we run it less!
dee says
I like the holiday swirls!
And I use a lot of vinegar to clean! LOL..i’ve learned 101 ways to use vinegar!
audra says
Love the Snowflake Celebration card! My ‘green’ tip is to use LARGE recycling containers and to have a set day to take them to the recycling center (if your city dosn’t pick them up) It is hard to recycle when your recycle bins are overflowing!
Kari A. says
The Spruce Christmas Lights would be my favorite – it is so pretty.
Jessica says
I really like the Spruce Christmas Tree. My favorite green product had been around for a while. It’s Burt’s Bee’s Baby Bee Shampoo and Wash. I love to use it on my daughter.
Stephanie V. says
love Spruce Christmas Lights — modern and classy!
Margaret Smith says
Thank you so much for this giveaway. I love the Chocolate Candy Stripe card the best. My green tip is to install energy saving light bulbs throughout your home. Thanks so much.
molly says
i love the vintage design! use cloth diapers instead of disposable.
Stacy says
The Paper Swirls is my fave. We compost.
Joan says
Holiday Swirls is my favorite design. It is really lovely. The best green products I have ever used come from Simple Green. They make a cleanser that is as effective as Softscrub, without the bleach or horrible fumes.
blima says
We don’t use a car. And I like Rose Springtime Floral
tobye says
I like Snowflake Celebration. I am also on a quest to never (and I mean never!) get another plastic bag from a store. It’s a challenge though.
Andrea McMann says
I like the Vintage one. Something about polka dots always catches my eye…
My tip might be something that is already well-known, but it was a godsend to me when I learned it. Here goes:
Everyone knows that equal parts warm water and vinegar make a fantastic glass cleaner, but if you’ve used commercial cleaners, you’ll end up with streaks on your glass. UNLESS you put one tiny squirt of dish soap in with the water for the first couple of cleanings. After that, the soap is no longer required. I’ve had the best results with using a clean rag soaked in the vinegar solution to wash the window, then buff it clean with newspaper and elbow grease! 🙂
Casey H says
I love the cranberry and blue snowflakes!!
I love using my canvas tote bags for EVERY store I shop!!
Maggie Smith says
I really like the Spruce Christmas Tree! This will be my son’s first Christmas so I am super excited about doing it up this year!! THANKS!!
My favorite green tip: Recycle, recycle, recycle. I even introduced recycling to my large corporation. They were very hesitant at first but they were quick to catch on. It makes me feel as though I am doing my part. THANKS!
sandra kao says

Katja says
I like the Clover Christmas Branches card design and would absolutely love to win this giveaway!
Green tip: don’t buy kitchen paper towels or paper napkins, use washable towels & cloth napkins instead. Not just ecological – also economical!
Joshua says
My Favourite is the Holiday Doves. I suggest riding your bike as many places as you can. Especially dates! Bicycle dates can be a ton of fun, particularly if you live in near some wilderness and pack a picnic!
Tonya Froemel says
The Spruce Christmas Lights Are Just Wonderful
kerry says
Switch to green cleaners such as Method. It’s for the environment and for your own health.
Sylvia says
Favorite card: snowy, starry nights…
Favorite tip: worm composting- it doesn’t smell, uses all your kitchen scraps, makes amazing compost, and kids love helping out!
evelyn says
