Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Margot Madison Creative Stationery!

It's not too late!

Did you skip the Christmas cards this year? You're not alone! Many people were feeling too harried, didn't have a good enough photo or thought it was an expense they didn't want to add to the holiday budget. It's understandable! But remember that your friends do enjoy hearing from you and they also enjoy seeing you and your kids in photos.

If you're still on the fence about it, we have several of our holiday designs that can be turned into new year's cards on our etsy store.

Holiday Kick-Off Sale

It's finally beginning to feel like the holiday season. The weather here in Cincinnati is cooling off, stores have their decorations up, and the official start of the holiday season is upon us.

Avoid the crowded malls and shop our store in O'Bryonville this Friday & Saturday when we'll take 30% off all of our exclusive product lines.

That means 30% off our popular U*Pick line, which includes Clipboards in two sizes and matching Notecards;


30% off our Sweet Silhouettes line, which includes Notecards, Halfnotes, Enclosure Cards, Address Stickers, and Labels;

30% off our m:Studio line, which includes chic Notecards in five color/design schemes;

and 30% off our Decorative Decals, which includes removable vinyl decals for walls, laptops, cell phones, and just about anything else you can think to stick them on.

Store hours Friday are 10-6 and Saturday 10-5. Come in and stock up on these--and many more--gifts this weekend!

Two Events this Week!

Join us tonight at Margot Madison Stationery in O'Bryonville for the annual Holiday Wine Walk!

In addition to wine and snacks, we'll offer 20% off our U*Pick Clipboards this evening, including our two new exclusive designs--Mod Peace and Mod Hearts. Clipboards make great gifts for teachers, kids, moms, and anyone who needs to be organized. Specials run 5 to 8 p.m. today only!

This Saturday, November 21st, join us for BuyCincy's Cincinnati Unchained. Break the habit of shopping at chain stores on Saturday and only shop at local, independent Cincinnati businesses. We'll offer 20% off our custom digitally-printed holiday cards when you mention "Unchained." Sale runs Saturday only, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Cincinnati Unchained 2009

We're happy to announce that Margot Madison Stationery will participate in this year's Cincinnati Unchained!

From BuyCincy:

Every dollar you spend at a locally-owned business generates approximately three times more economic activity than a dollar spent at the typical "big-box." By choosing to shop locally-owned for just one day, we can help to improve Cincinnati's economy.

Join us next Saturday, November 21, for a sale on our digital holiday cards, and support Cincinnati businesses by shopping locally!

Matroyshka Family Photo Card

Another one of our digital cards, the Matroyshka Family Photo Card, is available for sale on Etsy!

This is a fun card that you can customize in a number of ways--making the dolls look like your family, including a photo, and personalizing your message.

The card measures 5 x 7" and is printed on thick, coated cardstock. It comes with coordinating envelopes and optional return address stickers.

Same Ol' Holiday Card

While we're still super excited about our Birch Trees Save-the-Date Holiday card being a featured Etsy Find for November, we'd like to highlight a card today for those of us who might not have such big news this holiday season.

It's been a tough year for a lot of folks, and sometimes just making it through the year without any upheaval is reason enough to celebrate.

The text of the card reads "Same job...same location...same car...same lifestyle...things could not be better," with your personal closing signature. The card measures 5 x 7" and is printed on high quality, coated cardstock. Matching envelopes and optional return address stickers are part of the package. Click on the image above for the Etsy listing, and be sure to browse the rest of our online shop.

Don't be shy if your year hasn't yielded exciting news...celebrate the fact with your family and friends this holiday season!

Featured on Etsy Finds!

Our favorite employee of years past, Rachel Schaengold sent me an email from etsy that featured our Birch Trees Holiday Card that we blogged about yesterday.

Holiday Save-the-Date

Have some big news to share this holiday season?

We love dual-purpose greetings, and here is one of our favorite new designs.

Getting married in the coming months? Send the news this year with your holiday card. Save-the-dates are often sent 6-12 months before the big day, especially for destination weddings or international travel, or 3-6 months for a wedding near your home and family. These announcements typically include the couples' names, wedding date, location, website and/or travel & accommodations information.

Mod Blue Ornaments Card

Another new holiday design is available for purchase in-store or on our online Etsy shop! Modern Blue Ornaments is a giclee print, making it both affordable and quick to turn around. You can customize this card with a photo of your family, or create a holiday invitation with the basic design.

The card is printed on heavy matte cardstock (110#) and measures 5 x 7". It comes with coordinating envelopes and optional matching return address stickers.

Modern Mobile Holiday Birth Announcement

If you're having a baby around the holidays, this makes a great "two-in-one" card. It's a birth announcement with a holiday twist!

This and other great holiday cards are for sale at the Margot Madison Stationery retail location and at our etsy store.

The Holidays are Back!

The first round of our new holiday photo cards are now on the Margot Madison etsy store for viewing and purchasing.

More designs will be posted in the next week and as always, we can do custom designs for your family. Stop by before the craziness takes over!
