Bloggy Giveaways is hosting another giveaway carnival. This is the third one I’ve known about, and I thought it was time I participate. If you have just stumbled across this blog via Bloggy Giveaways (or your own creative devices), welcome! If you are a regular reader of Anodyne Design, you may already know that from time to time I give away something handmade. (To see examples of the types of things I make, check my Etsy shop or Flickr.) Now seemed like as good a time as any to give away something else!
Before I get to the good stuff, there are some “rules” we have to take care of. This blog giveaway carnival thing always gets huge. And that means lots of people who want to be winners (and believe me, I totally get you) are flying through blogs leaving comments without ever actually reading more than a sentence on the blog (not you, though! You are clearly reading more than that!) I’m sorry, but the price of admission to this giveaway is that you at least read the rules.
So please, to be entered to win this giveaway, leave a comment on this post with:
- a valid email or web address (you can’t win if I can’t contact you!)
- a reason why you should be the winner
That’s it. The rules really aren’t so bad, are they? I’d love it if you stayed awhile and checked out the rest of Anodyne Design, or added it to your feed reader for later, but that’s completely optional.
Now, the good stuff. You’ll be entering to win a Modern Diamonds Card Wallet, handmade by me.
The card wallet can hold all sorts of things–business cards, credit cards, ID, cash, small gifts, feminine products, and anything else no bigger than 3″ x 4.75″. The outside is corduroy, and it closes with a pretty pearl and silver snap. Pattern placement may vary a bit on the actual giveaway wallet.
The giveaway will run from 8:00 a.m. Monday, January 28th to 9:00 p.m. Thursday, January 31st. From the comments that followed the rules, I will select a winner based on the comment that most captured my attention (and I’m sure you can think of all sorts of ways to do that). A second winner will be selected with a random number generator, so you have two chances to win: pure luck (and following the rules) and a little bit of luck and a whole lot of interesting (and following the rules). The prize for the second winner will be an as-yet-to-be-selected card wallet (so if you want, tell me your favorite color in your comment, too, and if you’re the winner of the second card wallet, I’ll see what I can do for you). Anyone can enter. I will ship internationally. I will announce to winner in a blog post on Friday, February 1.
Get to it! And good luck in all your attempts to be a winner.
I could really use this for my cards that I carry to give out to moms of little one’s that I see. I give them cards for our Moms of Munchkins group.
But, I have seven kids. I do. And they dig through my purse, you know, for money or candy or car keys, depending on the age of the kid. So, my neatly packed pocket gets messed up and the cards get dirtied, bent, or dropped. Then I do not look very fun to be around for a newbie.
Please help me look like a normal person!
I should win because I am new to this blogging thing, and have spent hours over the past few days checking out people’s blogs trying to figure out what makes a great blog, and to be inspired.
Great prize! I should win because . . . I need one of these and it is so beautiful!

I should win this because . . . I’m a sewer/quilter myself and appreciate all the hard work you put into it and it’s so cute that maybe it will inspire me to make one for someone too! And I love browns and pinks!
I should win this giveaway because I really need a card holder – I think my cards are getting a little out of control at the present. I have cards from everywhere but with my present system of keeping them where I need them is definitely not working.
Rata-pata-scata-fata – this is the Caribbean story I read to my two year old before bed tonight, about a daydreaming boy and these magical words that seem to make all his wishes come true when whispered three times and his no-nonsense mom that thinks he’s full of it, until the end when it works for her too! So I’m reading your post, dreaming about having a little something fun for my wallet, deciding to tell you this story as a reenactment of sorts to see if it really works!??!! Here goes…

I would love to hold receipts in there instead of letting them float around in the abyss of my purse. I should win, right??
I need to win this so I’ll have a place to put all the cards taking up room in my wallet! I love brown and pink. monk5@charter.net
I would love to win in a desperate effort to appear more chic. I ‘d love one in green. Great Giveaway! bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
Ok, I should win because I have all kinds of gift cards (some from several years ago) with amounts like .30 cents and $6.97 rolling around in my purse. If I won this I could keep them all organized in once place and actually use them up. Plus its really cute and it kinda matches my purse!
great contest! count me in!
I need this for all the gift cards i’m going to win during this carnival! :)
I’d like to win this for my wife,and her ever growing collection of credit cards.
Oh, I read the rules, baby! I need to win this prize because my cards need a home–a cute home like this.
a girl can never have enough wallets/purses!! My favorite color is pink.
This wallet looks so great!!! Why should I be the winner??? Maybe b/c we downsized SOO much for me to stay at home with my daughter that I don’t GET to buy neat and pretty stuff for me. Even though it is worth ‘doing with out’ to be here with her…I do wish I could a few things to brighten mommies day! The brown and pink are so yummy together!!
I love this. Thanks so much for the giveaway. My fave color is red.
Oh, my favorite color is green but the one you have pictured is adorable! And I am a chronic card pocketer- I put them in my pockets and then lose them! This would be great since I need a place to keep them together!

I would love to win because I have a ton of cards that I could use the wallet for, fav color is pink.
Sounds Great
Enter me please for the giveaway!

I checked out your Etsy shop, and after much debate (yeah, with myself, I know) I think I like the pink and brown one in your post the best. :) Though the Apples and Flowers was a close second.
I just received a brand new purse for Christmas. Before I had one about the size of your wristlets–it was only big enough for my small wallet, keys, and cell phone. I didn’t need anything bigger because I always had a diaper bag with me, too. And I liked putting my purse inside the diaper bag so I had less pieces to carry.
Now that my son is 2 and carries his own tiny backpack, it’s time for Momma to carry a bigger purse again. Now that Momma has a bigger purse again, Momma needs something inside for, *ahem*, feminine things, so they’re not just dumped in there carelessly. :) One of these would be perfect! :) Hope I win! :)
You should pick me because I need something discreet for my feminine needs. Right now they are just in a ziplock baggie.
Love to win!

I love your card wallets!
I should be carrying my business cards around with me, but I never do. I just haven’t found the right thing to put them in. Everything I find is so masculine. However this is perfect!
My favorite color is pink.
I would like to win because I have never won a contest ever and because the card wallet is so cute. I could definitely put it to good use. Furthermore, my favorite color is green and my blog is designed in green, so I should win for my skills at color coordination. Finally, I think my blog name is cool, so I should also be chosen as a winner for that factor. Thank you!
I always carry business cards for me & hubby, but I can never find them in my purse, lol. I’d love to win this, it is so pretty!

My business cards just came in and I really need a place to keep them. This stylish little wallet look like just the thing!
Contact me at stephanie@metropolitanmama.net.
Please count me in! Why I should win???? I have for years used those plastic ones that don’t last very long. They break or get yucky, and then my cards get yucky! I then just put them in my purse and I get pen parks or they get bent. I have used plastic bags, but they look so cheap you know?! I have been looking for something nice and femanine, and well…me! My favorite colors: pink / brown.
I could think of a ton of reasons why I should win this… but I am always browsing the web with a nursing baby in my lap. So you see, it is hard to think straight when I never get to sleep… which is why I need this. I leave my wallet everywhere! Thank goodness for car seats because I am always having to go back to where I was to get my wallet.
This beautiful think you’ve created looks like it will fit right in my pocket so it will be harder to lose. And lord knows with diaper bags, pacifiers, blankets, teething rings, cell phones, and keys… I don’t need to make my life any harder than it already is.
Please pick me!
I should win this because I appreciate all handmade items. I love the colors. And the fact that my food store and drug stores cards are in a plastic bag in my purse and I need a pretty new place to put them.
I could use something like this for my diaper bag! My fave color is purple.
I could really use this for just slipping in a little money and my license when I run out with the kids to the park, instead of having to drag my entire purse with me! Thanks for the chance to win! mlciavola(at)yahoo(dot)com.
WOW!!! YOU MADE THAT????
Great Job!!!!!!!!!!
Please enter me in the drawing.
The wallet is lovely — so much nicer and more personal than anything I could pick up at the mall! Please enter me in the drawing.
enter me please. ernestsgirl82@aol.com
I should win this because, my husband and I are trying to stop using our credit card. This would be a beautiful way to keep my credit card -as it is not being used!
I am a winner! I am a winner! (Oh wait, you didn’t want to hear my morning affirmations? Okay. But you know, you could make it a self-fulfilling prophecy if you make me a winner of this lovely card case…. I’m just sayin’.)
Your cases are so pretty! I just spent waaaay too much time browsing around here (I have a schedule! There are 600 giveaways to enter and only so much time left in the week!) but it was well-worth it. Thanks for doing this giveaway. :)
I would love to win one of these to hold my business cards. Currently they are just floating around in my purse. My favorite color is Light Brights and Vines. Thanks.
I love your wallets, and need something fashionable to haul around!
FIRE!!!! GET OFF OF THE COMPUTER!!!!!
Did that grab your attention?
My favorite color is yellow ;)
Cool! I was looking for something just the other day to put business cards in! I’m into that networking time before graduating from college and will be collecting a LoT of business cards!
I can’t say that I deserve to win but I like Leaves and dots pattern.

Why I should win? Because I’m really, really cute and I love volcanoes.
(Not that anyone said anything about volcanoes, but you said to get your attention. I really do love volcanoes, that’s what I got my degrees in before I became a stay-at-home-mommy. I even put my rock hammer into molten lava and pulled it out to “play” with. But I wouldn’t do that to such a pretty, adorable wallet–definitely not.)
I’m guessing you’ll be able to read my email addy off the form, but just in case I’m lucky and win, it’s (naturally): volcano at gmail dot com.
I’m a pooped first-time mommy of a non-sleeping 15 month old toddler. I don’t have ANYTHING clever to say. But I do think your card wallets are so cute!
I wonder how well the wallet would would carry princess pixie snacks (gum as my sillies like to call them)
I love pink
I should win because some friends are upset that my latest excuse for not going out with them is that I can never find my ID.
And because I’m “boldly friendly.” ;)
having 3 small boys this would come in handy so everytime one of them had to go to the dr. or pharmacy i wouldnt have to search my purse or diaper bag for their insurance card and rx card
plus i love that color.
mom2boys42@gmail.com
I love the cute brown one…..or I could always use black..who couldnt…..please count me in.
It is adorable. It would be great to hold my business cards in. Very stylish.
SO FREAKIN CUTE! You are quite talented!
I should be the winner because, as the mother of 4 kids on one income, I don’t get to splurge on much for myself. Especially something as cute as this! So if you end up chosing me I would be ever so grateful, as would my purse :-D And in case I am second, my fav color is PINK! Thanks so much for entering me!
I must tell you that I have fallen head over heals in LOVE with your Card Wallet creations! The designs and fabric that you have chosen capture my attention. I can hear my purse now begging for her new companion and I would just love to very modestly pull your Card Wallet out of my humble purse and discreetly flash it under many envious eyes, they will not help but notice it!! He he :0)
They really are to cute, and I really do want one!!
Thanks for the chance to win one of your creations.
JOYfully in Him,
Kelli
*Sorry, I tried a little to hard.
Oooh, I am gonna get some Mommy cards. I could keep them in this! I like the night flowers one, too.
