Dear Customer,
From,
Thank you so so much for your reply, Erin :-) Your designs are stunning!
Hi Erin, Thank you for liking my “Ocean Wave” design. And, I notice that one of my foiled wedding submission "grand garden" shares some similar design concepts with your “Vintage” submission. I hope it doesn’t bother you :-)
Erin! Thank you so much for the kind words about my illustrations! I was feeling a little unsure of my entries, and you've made me feel better! Your entries are awesome too! So clever and I love your illustrations!!
I feel like I have to warn you that the cod is back lol! Why can't I let it go?
Thank you so much, Erin, for liking my card design "Immanuel - God With Us" - I really appreciate your support and I wish you the very best for the challenges :)
Hi Erin, Thank you for the feedback on my Fine Line submission in the foil challenge. I made the dfferent caps options, I'd love to hear which of the caps versions you like best?
Thanks so much for your comment on my 'Nice List Adjacent' design- I was really questioning and whether it made sense to anybody else, my family's feedback was a pretty mixed bag lol. You have so many beautiful entries- I love seeing what you come up with!
Thank you so much for the like of my design 'Sleep baby Sleep'! Your designs are always a great inspiration, just beautiful!
hahaha. I don't think many people get it. I'm glad you are one!
Hi Erin! What a small world! That is so fun to make an upstate connection like that. Your designs are beautiful, thank you for reaching out!!
Yikes, 3%! That is depressing. I didn't know that is what Minted said, but considering they will probably only take 300 designs for both the wedding challenges, those numbers are probably accurate. :(
Erin, thanks for the super compliment! I LOVE all your entries. Yu will be busy very soon with lots of file prep. :)
Erin, I appreciate your feedback on the border for gilded forest! Hoping you see some picks this challenge!
Thank you so much, Erin for your comment on my tulips. Most people choose black, because on screen it looks more dramatic. But my feeling is to go with my personal favorite, which is also the light version. Your designs are so beautiful!
Congrats on your two top 20 wins Erin! Beautiful!
Erin, thank you for the very nice profile comment! LOVE your wedding submissions - so swoony and romantic. Best of luck, though I don't think you need it!
Hi Erin, thank you for your wonderful advice on "Florabell" today and thank you for your like!
Hi Erin - it was very kind of you to suggest a blue box with multiply on my Dreamy Floral. I wouldn’t have thought to do that so I’m truly grateful to you for sharing your design gem with me! I did this and also changed the body text so I think I have improved the design :)
Thanks for nice comment on my 'Flow Chart' entry, Erin--I really appreciate it! Merry Christmas!
Erin, thanks so much for your kind words on my “Confetti Grad” design. I’m a fan of your work, your hand lettering is absolutely beautiful. Best of luck to you!
Haha!! Can you tell I was ready for this dang challenge to open?!? Also thanks :)
Hi Erin! Thanks so much for the recent likes on "Stellar Wishes" and "Sparkled"! I truly appreciate it. It's a huge compliment. I love your work! All the best and Happy Holidays!
Thanks for your feed back Erin - wasn't sure if gold foil could be printed as a halftone - will re-enter in foiled section and replace this concept - Best and many thanks - Amanda
HI Erin! Thanks so much for the like on my V-Day entry. I'm loving all your greeting card entries! I totally am envious as I did not have much time for those challenges! Good luck and Happy Holidays.
Hi Erin, I've been thinking about you and the day you won a special prize and losing your grandmother. Hope all is well and you're doing OK. Thanks so much for the like on my work. xo
Thank you so much for the sweet message! I really needed it!! I honestly feel like I'm all over the place lately and was about ready hang it up. Haha! Yeah right, it's an addiction, I can't quit. Thanks again. I hope you have a great day!!
I think you're right! The more random, the better. Thanks for the advice!
Hahaha thanks so much, bud! I might need to make his scales Xs and Os (or something similar) to make him feel more valentine-y ;)
Thanks Erin for your kind comment on my line drawing! Congrats on reaching 50 wins!!
foil all the things!!!! So glad you found my suggestion helpful :) Oh! and you might want to include the white margin since that's how it would be displayed on the minted site anyway. Best of luck! I love your submissions!
Congrats on hitting 50 wins, Erin! So happy for you!
Thanks so much for the like. What a huge compliment. I really appreciate it. Sending love right back at ya! xo
Hi Erin, thank you for your feedback on my Delicate and Leafy save the date - I really appreciate it :)
many thanks for liking 'blessings" Erin - love your submission "egg hunt" btw !
Hey Erin, just wanted to say congrats on your CMYK accomplishment this week. I admire your work and positive attitude. Good luck with all of the holiday submissions!
I know what you mean. I always struggle with the tiny thumbnails when polling... I'm loving all your submissions, so fun and heart-warming! Your lettering is to die for!
Thank you for the help on my design! I totally agree. I'm going to try the gradient or wiggle the photo some.
I have been thinking about that "Gifts of Plenty" award for designs with 6+ photos in it a *lot* recently. It's just so hard to come up with something new and fresh. I just really feel like your design nails something really interesting but in a way that customers are likely to get and really like.
Hi Erin! thank you for your advice on my leafy antlers which I really appreciated. I have drawn some chunkier swashes which definitely look better than the first effort. I am only wondering now if that brushery font looks a bit heavy and overpowers the more delicate antlers? I've tried a different font as well which sits nicely with the antlers but.....it looks more elegant than funny. What do you think? :)
Well your work has definitely paid off, because it's a great design!
Hey! They don't look evenly spaced next to the text. The bottom one feels closer to the last name. But I also think a line at the top and bottom isn't necessary? I don't know. Maybe try a few things and do a poll?
Just wanted to say I'm loving so many of your entries!! You're killing it!
So, we are in the mountains right now for Spring Break and I can't access my design to draw a happier mouth on the panda, so I am literally a SAD PANDA :( I knew I should have run it by you guys before uploading) Thanks again for helping :)
Thanks for your comments on my pigs. Once I moved the line as you suggested I got another idea and the whole top is better. Yay! Good luck to us both.
HI Erin. I LOVE the design that you created with my copy. Love love love! That copy rolled off my tongue (#truth), but I've been struggling with how to put it all together. I'm so glad that you chose it - thank you and good luck to us! Love all of your other submissions too! <3
Hi Erin, Thank you for the like on my "Speckled" pattern for the Holiday Quickfire Challenge! I love your typography work, some sure winners there! Best Wishes in the Challenge!
You're so sweet, Erin! I'm so glad the foil worked out in the design - I know how long it takes to rework the repeating patterns, especially with the embedded foils, so thank you for trying it out :) I've been on a little hiatus from Minted, and these little conversations are what make me miss Minted the most :) Best wishes in the challenge, Erin!
Erin, you have great entries! Best of luck!
Hi Erin! Thank you for your comment on "Soft & Sweet", I really appreciate it! Best of luck in the challenge, I really love your entry "Just a Moment".
Hi Erin, thank you so much for the sweet comment on my Elegant Simplicity! Love that name as well :)

Thankyou Erin for your sweet note on my Simple Pleasure design. Thankyou for the suggestion and while I was playing with the design, it did it occur to me that it would far better as a non-photo... So yes I'll definitely do that. Thanks again and I love your entries,especialy your hand lettering! So lovely!
Hi Erin thank you :) and I love your lettering Formal Glory is just stunning!!
Thank you, Erin! That is a huge compliment as I have always struggled with more illustrative designs and have been pushing myself to work through my ideas! Best of luck in the holiday challenges, you've got some great entries, I love your lettering!

Aw, thanks for the kind words, Erin! You have some great holiday entries! Best of luck in the challenge! :)
Thanks Erin for the sweet comments. Made my day. :)
Erin, I just read your description on Heaven is Near. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the loss of your best friend. Even before reading your comments, I could see it was made with love. And so beautifully done. Xoxo
Thanks so much for your sweet comments, Erin! I love your designs, and your fat pants Christmas card design is totally cracking me up. Love it!
Hi Erin! Thank you so much for the nice comments and like as well :) I really enjoy your designs! Best of luck!!
Thank you so much for your comments about my lettering, Erin! You are the sweetest, and YOUR lettering is oh so fabulous, too! And, congrats on the special award!
Thanks Erin! I feel like I look like the weird-y submitting a million entries so early but oh well! Maybe if I get everything I already made submitted this baby will feel like she can come out.
Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I usually start designing holiday cards over the holidays when it's easy to be in the spirit so luckily I was able to give myself a bit of a head start this year. Really glad to know the extra effort might end up being worth it!
Yes, Erin! I dread baby showers with games. So seeing your simple design with the perfect wording, made me wish I'd thought of it! Winner for sure!
Hi Erin, thank you for the like on my Adventure Book int he Holiday Gifting challenge! Sorry for not responding sooner-- I've been sick for two weeks!
