I love the smell of nice paper. The sight of a friends handwriting on an envelope. Picking out stamps at the post office. The joy of opening a letter from a far away friend. I have a feeling that if you are reading this you can relate...and you can see how designing for minted is a dream come true for me!

Dear Customer,
From,
Please write a short statement about where you call home and what inspires you as an artist. (Limited to 275 characters or less). This note will be displayed to customers on the product details page of your art prints on the Minted website.
Sample: Annie Clark approaches her art with a graphic designer's eye. A long-time resident of the Mission in San Francisco, she is constantly inspired by the diverse color and texture of her neighborhood.
Carrie is a proud wife, mother of two and designer from the Midwest. She enjoys creating art that celebrates family and the special moments in all our lives.
Please write a short note to customers who purchase your art prints. Every Minted Art Print will come with a special folded card that includes your picture and a thank you from the artist, adding a special personal touch that helps customers remember you and your artwork. This is separate from the Thank You Note above and is important to position the art piece as a high-end piece with credibility.
To help us prepare your special card, please make sure that the image of you on the site is a photograph, not a logo, and please draft a thank you note to customers, limiting yourself to 150 characters. No words will be added to your statement, so your statement should be written in its entirety, including your name. Please do not include your contact info or a URL. This information could create confusion for follow-up customer service.
Sample: Hello! I am so honored you chose my artwork to hang in your home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have in making it. Best to you, Annie
There is no greater compliment than choosing my artwork to hang in your home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed creating it! Carrie
Thanks Carrie, for the feedback on my card. :-) I'd gone back and forth w/ those corner curls, but I think you're right - it will prob have more flexibility with photos too. :-) Thank you! Good luck - I see you have some beautiful designs up! :-)
You are so sweet! I always enjoy seeing your smiling face on here too! Every time I see one of your impeccable designs, know that I'm shouting a little hooray for you. :) Have a great weekend ahead!
Thank you for the sweet comment on Merry Sorbet, Carrie! Your feedback means a lot!
Thanks Carrie! No worries on the late reply...we are all so busy! I'm finally now getting back into the challenges after a little hiatus. Thanks for the info...I'd seen some tutorial on creating it in PS but it never seems to look like the image they show on the tutorial! :) Thanks, Amy
Hi Carrie! Congrats on being featured in the Minted email about party decor...I really love that party design. I was wondering if you'd share how you made the glitter effect? I'd looking into doing something similar (found some tutorials online to create it in PS) but when I used a clipping mask in AI it just didn't give the effect I was looking for). If you don't want to share, I completely understand! Cheers, Amy
Carrie, thank you! School has been wonderful -- I feel so lucky to be back. Love seeing some of your beautiful letterpress work floating around facebook! This semester, I've been working on a press for the first time, and it has been such a treat. Wish we could work together sometime -- I have a feeling we'd have great fun!
Thanks for your sweet note Carrie!! I so admire your work and immense talent - you such a wide range of style but always maintain such a high level of execution - I'm always trying to learn from your brilliance :)
Thanks, Carrie! :)
Forgot how much I missed Minted! :) Looking through the submissions and your designs are flawless! - every single one of them. Way to go girly!
Thx Carrie - sent an email :O)
Thanks for chiming in Carrie! :o)) - I'm at a loss though, for how to lose the city part of the design... what would you do? ditch the road too? make the house bigger? change the placement? AAAAAHHHH :o/
Oh my Frontgate!? Sweet! I'm sure that kept you super busy - but congrats on getting it done. Nice for your portfolio :o) Happy to know you'll have time for Minted - I am so totally hooked and am still trying to find my niche. I'm all over the place w/ my designs but I'm learning so much, mostly what DOESN'T work! :o/ frustrating! Anyway - looking forward to seeing you online :o)
Hi Carrie - Congrats on your I scream, U scream win! Just wanted to say where have you been?? I miss ya! :o)))
Hi Carrie! I'm totally honored that you are asking for my opinion - your work is always just phenomenal and I still feel pretty "green" on here most of the time! :) I actually think the type looks great, but I think it would also look beautiful with something taller/thinner for "Peace" and "Earth" - that would make the map/snowflake more of the focal point and the type could fit more into a square shape in the centre. I think Cyclone inline would look superb (tracked out a bit). I really like it as is though, too - it's fantastic either way :) Hope that helps!
wow, Carrie, thanks for the pep talk on my creature comfort design. I gave it a tweak and removed the colored bar from behind the type. Does it look too dull now? Thanks for your help! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/55729
Thanks for the note!! I'm definitely going to check out their blog! Yes, we are super excited and blessed in every way.
Carrie, congratulations on your win! I LOVED your card!!!
ok...I'm so lame...just posted on my own page. AHH!
I got my shirt yesterday & am wearing it today!! Perfect attire for working in front of the computer! I love it!! All the best.
Thank you so much for the compliments and support Carrie! It was such a treat to see your message the other week and to get your order :) That made me so happy coming from you. I hope you enjoy the shirt and thank you so much again! :)
It was so nice to meet you today, Carrie! I am such a huge fan of all your work - but, Craving Your Company is so adorable and clever, it's one of my favorite Minted designs. I was nervous and excited to meet some of my favorite stationery stars...and you are all as sweet as your designs - what a pleasure! Maybe we can carpool to Columbus for next meet-up?
Carrie, thanks for the great suggestion on the font. I switched Lady Rene to Eccentric and it makes the design appear so much cleaner.
Hi Carrie, thank you so much for your sweet note! I love your entries too and your design "ready to pop" has the prettiest colors! I ordered my holiday cards from Millers Design Lab: http://www.millerslab.com/flatcards I purchased their flat cards on cotton paper. If you need more info. let me know, and have a great weekend!
Thanks for the note Carrie! I just love your mom ~ would love to see her more. I have no idea what I'm doing here but I sure love it. I've already had to ask for help on the forum and got it immediately...what a great community. I've admired your work for so long and am happy for your success here ~ :o)))
