Check Out Our Holiday Card By Olive & Jude
We partnered with twin mama, podcast listener, and designer Jenn from Olive & Jude on our custom, podcast-themed holiday card! We’ll be sending snail mail cards to our Producer-tier Patrons and our industry business partners, but wanted to share the adorable image with all of you here. (Jenn also designed the featured image for this blog post–how cute is it?!) Check out Jenn’s adorable shop for stationary and art prints at oliveandjude.com and find her on Instagram @oliveandjude.
