#2 Daughter |
So anyhooo, last year, January 2013 to be exact, I won a giveaway from Cassie at Primitive and Proper. I was so excited, but I waited till my coupon was almost expired to order anything because I didn't know what I wanted. In the meantime #2 daughter ran out of her free business cards from Vistaprint.
Cassie.
Not my daughter, but she could be.
Technically the Moo cards were free too, but ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a difference in quality of the Moo cards. I will order from them when next I need cards of any kind. I don't know if they have different quality of stock they use, so this is only based on the ones I received, but let me tell you they are very nice. I'm not getting paid to say this, no one asked me to talk about these cards, they are just THAT nice and I wanted to share that tidbit with 'ya.
*Disclaimer....#2 daughter would not have designed her cards this way, but like I said, I don't ask for help designing stuff from the designers in the family, I just design and give away their stuff whether they like it or not!
So these cards..... double sided. With a photo. On smooth, firm cardstock. I keep seeing other comments from people who have ordered from Moo and they seem to be as pleased as we are.
They came very nicely packaged with a card holder too.
I submitted the photo and it looks great. If you win the cake tester giveaway you will see just how nice the cards are, since I will include one with the prize.
If you don't know how lampwork beads are made, it's similar to glass blowing except you don't blow the glass you twist and turn it while you heat it. She doesn't make her own yet, one talent at a time I guess!
They are very pretty and she makes them in all colors, just depends on her mood what she has in her Etsy shop. Oh..... and they do work like she says they will.
Great Mothers Day gift. Just say'n!
Giveaway open until April 16th, 2014.

ReplyDeleteA FEW YEARS BACK I SAW A BLOG FEATURING THIS CAKE TESTERS AND FELL IN LOVE BUT SOMEHOW LOST THE LINK TO THEIR BLOG...I'm so happy to find them again and would be even happier if I could win this one.
ReplyDeleteLove that CASSIE!!! I would love to win the gorgeous cake tester!!! I've always wanted to try Moo cards but haven't had the need for them yet. They sound sooooo nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway. I would love to win. Heading over to check out her shop now. Thanks for such a generous giveaway. I love your header btw.
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful cake tester. I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.
What a very clever daughter you have I remember seeing her cake tester a while ago, I would the chance to win it, what a treater it would be to me.
ReplyDeleteSince I have so many I will bow out of the giveaway but I'll tell you ladies that they are beautiful. Bliss forgot to mention their other use as a husband poker. I find mine very effective when he's moving too slow.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used Moo Cards, but will check them out after your glowing endorsement.
can you adopt me? we would have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThe cake testers are beautiful, as is your daughter. How industrious she is to help fund her way through college. It sounds like the Moo Cards are the way to go. I'll have to keep that in mind when I order more.
ReplyDeleteI love the cake tester I have, so I'll let someone else win, to have one, too! And I well understand about blog design...I did all mine, too...even with a programmer/developer son and a graphic designer/artist daughter. But I sure have learned a lot doing it! Your talented daughter is so pretty, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! I checked out your daughter's Etsy store and those are gorgeous! I'd love to win one to give my mom. She loves to bake and I'd love to treat her!
ReplyDeleteI don't bake cakes, but I LOVE Tina's suggestion that they be used as a husband poker! They are lovely, and I need to order one, just for decoration. ALSO, thanks for the info on the cards...I keep seeing info on them, and I will need new ones pretty soon. Maybe I can win some. And I was at Cassie's last weekend...just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteLove love love these cake testers. There is nothing even remotely like them available in Australia.Can I be the lucky little koala?
ReplyDeleteThe cake testers are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI just hopped over to her Etsy page, so creative and original! Oh where have I been all this time, I must confess, I have never heard of a cake tester! But I am totally loving the idea!! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHugs
I am lucky enough to have one of your daughters beautiful cake testers and I love it!! But hey..if I win another one, then someone else will get a lucky gift, right?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Fingers and toes crossed that I might win!
ReplyDeleteGreat Mother's Day Gift for myself! The cake testers are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI have ordered three of these beautiful cake testers--one for me and two as gifts and they are exquisite! I have mine hanging on a hook in my kitchen, kind of like kitchen jewelry--too pretty to put in a drawer! I would love to win one to give as a gift to a friend who is going through a difficult time right now. She is a jewel herself!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this offer to win! I am headed over to Beth's Etsy shop next. The cake tester's are elegant and beautiful. Very creative. =)

ReplyDeletePick me, pick me! From one Beth to another! bethcarter08@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove the cake testers and would also be overjoyed to win one. I might just have to buy one.....just in case the winning fairy falls down on the job.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't those be "Myoo" cards??? Heck. If I win the tester, will you send me a cake to test it with too????
ReplyDelete-andi
Cake testers are beautiful and so much nicer than using a piece of spaghetti like I do!
ReplyDeleteThe cake tester is absolutely beautiful. What a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine used to make the glass beads and it was amazing to watch her work. What a talent. I would love to win the beautiful cake tester. I love and enjoy your blog daily. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThe cake tester is beautiful, and I'll be sure to check out the cards and other sites mentioned. A good weekend to all. Hhmm . . . a husband poker huh. I always like double-duty items :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, love the testers and the cards! Moo cards are the best!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and I'd love to win one... and I can relate to the tone and looks you get when you ask for help or suggest something to do with your blog... sadly, I still have to ask for help although I did figure out how to make myself a header... you are my hero, doing everything yourself.
ReplyDeleteThe cake testers are beautiful works of art. They remind me of antique hat pins, I hope to win one and display it stuck in a finished and ready to serve cake.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter in law is a baker and I would love to give her one of those beautiful cake testers. My two year old grandson just loves his baking time with mommy! I will definitely check out the site!

ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWell, if it includes a blogger across the pond, I would love to win a gorgeous cake tester to give to my bff who likes nothing better than creating stuff in the kitchen and who's favourite colour is pink.
ReplyDeleteShe also deserves a present of two.
Love the new look header Mrs. B. Is everyone in your family attractive and creative !
That should read... a present or two (because I never give her enough presents, and yet I receive so much !)
ReplyDeleteOk. I don't need to win so don't pick me. But I'm a little in love with the beads on that last one!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!

ReplyDeleteLove them! This is the first time I've seen these delectable little cake testers. (I had to delete my other comment becuz I didn't know I was supposed to leave my e-mail. It's not fully going away so if it doesn't....that's why)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!

I have never heard of cake testers before, other than toothpicks. What an ingenious idea! She has some very pretty ones in her shop. I make stick pins with beads, spacers & caps but hers are quite different and look solid...like her blog says, not like stick pins. You must be very proud!
