Y Combinator Backed Chirply is Threadless for Paper Goods

You're probably getting tired of going back to Hallmark time and time again for the same staid cards you've been sending granny for years, and I'd be surprised if you're not running out of occasions that demand a card bearing a cheesy one-liner or a sappy stanza of poetry. Thankfully, YC-backed Chirply, which launches this week, is breathing some new life into greeting cards -- and notebooks, and wrapping paper -- by creating a crowd-sourced community where designers can submit fresh ideas for paper goods. Users like you can then vote on your favorite designs, whereupon the ideas that receive the most votes are made champion and turned into real, live products and printed by the Chirply team. But Chirply isn't just copy-and-pasting ye olde crowdsourcing model onto the paper industry, it's offering crowdsourcing with a financial incentive. The designers whose ideas collect the most votes are awarded a $300 prize, plus an additional 10 cents for each item that is printed with their design.
