EUC Designs (Customized Digital Announcements - Your Choice) Giveaway!

I've previously talked about my love of graphic design on my blog (many of you probably know that I designed Everything Up Close from top to bottom).  Although, one thing many of you probably don't realize (unless you've entered my recent giveaways) is that I have a Etsy shop that gives me an outlet for my love of digital graphics!

When I first started my Etsy shop (EUC Designs - yes, I named it after Everything Up Close), I decided that I would start small by offering Etsy design packages.  I figured that I'd start small, see the response, then work my way up.  Next, I started designing business cards.  Recently, I decided to add another type of graphic service that I know many people look for to celebrate special occasions, such as births, birthdays, engagements, etc..  My new addition to EUC is digital announcement cards.  Right now I'm specifically focusing on baby announcements (flat photo) but I would like to start spreading my wings to offer flat photo birthday party announcements, Save the Date cards, wedding invitations, and more!

All the digital announcements that I offer are currently priced at $6.  With the purchase of a digital announcement, you will receive a high resolution (300 dpi) customized graphic (4x6 or 5x7 in a .jpg file) with your choice of text information and photographs.  This digital image can easily be printed at any photography print shop.  This means, for $6 + the cost of printing at your local print shop, you get unlimited announcements!  This is a great deal when you look at some of the alternatives that are currently available.  Additionally, this type of announcement is a good option for those of you who are eco-friendly and like to save the environment!  These eco-friendly announcements can easily be sent as an email. 

I currently have 4 different designs to choose from and I plan to offering new designs in the coming weeks.  So far, I have unisex designs and designs for boys and girls.  One of my personal favorites is a birth announcement called 'An Elegant Child'.  This is a wonderful classic and elegant design that features black, red, white, and grey with a satin ribbon and bow.  I also love this design because it is so versatile. I will soon be using this design to create a series.  One of the first additions to the Elegant Line will be callled 'An Elegant Engagement'. 

What can you win?  The winner of this giveaway will receive their choice of one customized digital announcement from EUC Designs. 

You can use the digital announcement to create anything you'd like - a save the date card, a birth announcement, a marriage announcement, etc.  You will receive a high resolution digital file in both 4x6 and 5x7 with your choice of wording and one photograph. You are free to print your announcements at home or send them to a in-store photo printer.
