Christmas is my favorite time of year (well, besides the warm months of summer). If it has to be bitter cold out side at least you get to be cozy inside, snuggled up with your loved ones, drinking hot chocolate and watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. Just thinking about it makes me want to snuggle under a warm blanket!
One of the best parts of Christmas is sending and receiving Christmas cards. It is the one time of year I actually look forward to getting the mail. It is so much fun to see what's new with old friends and family that are living far away and we are unable to see on a regular basis. It warms my heart to see how kids have grown and families have changed since last year. I display them all with tiny clothes pins clipped to a ribbon hung over my kitchen window but there are so many different ways to display them. There is a whole Pinterest Board dedicated to displaying your Christmas cards. Who knew?! Check it out, there are some really creative ways to display your cards. When we have friends over for dinner they always stop and take a peek at the cards on display and comment on the ones they love or are their favorite design of the year. It is inevitable that they get excited to see their own card hung with care, too.
I also really enjoy the process of choosing that perfect photo of my family and carefully designing a Christmas card to mail out to all of our loved ones. It it a bit nostalgic to go through all the pictures from the year and pick and choose my favorites, narrowing it down to just one photo. It's like a replay of all of the fun we had as a family throughout the year.
Minted has become my favorite go-to site for creating our family holiday cards. They always have beautifully designed cards that fit every style from modern to classic and everything in between. With a few clicks of a button the cards are so easy to customize. Below are few ways that Minted has made it even easier to create and send beautiful holiday cards.
Here are some of my favorites from the 2017 collection:
There are so many more options here. Check out the foil pressed holiday cards, too. I'm loving them this season and they are 20% off right now.
For all my newly married friends they have a category just for you! This one is beautiful:
Find It Fast
Minted offers their Find It Fast tool where you can see your photo in every card to help you save time in choosing a card that is the perfect fit for the photo you just scoured your computer looking for. Once selected, you can make it uniquely yours by selecting from the extensive personalization options such as colors, shapes, paper upgrades, etc. There are so many ways to make your card fit the photo that you've chosen.
Free Recipient Addressing
The FREE recipient
addressing will certainly save time in addressing each envelope. This has been
a service for a while now but was always cost prohibitive for me before. I will be taking advantage of it this year. It
looks so clean and polished and I love the detail around the address. Wouldn’t
it be fun to get a card that looks like that in the mail?
Text Us Your Photo
For all of you out there who feel like you don't have the time to create a card (I hear ya!), Minted makes the process even easier this year with their new service called Text Us Your Photo. Simply text your favorite holiday photo to 415-301-CARD(2273), and your Minted stylist will text you back your photo styled in 5 holiday card designs and get this... it's FREE! It doesn't get any easier than that.
