Minted.com’s brand new holiday card collection just came out! Yes it is September still but unlike the decorations up in stores already, cards are one thing we can actually do early and not feel guilty about because lets face it, for many of us if we don’t get them done early, we don’t get them done at all. Not getting cards out is a guilt none of us need! So while I have time I wanted to share a few of the new selections from them that I personally love!
(let me leave this little ticker right here for you all…. does it make you twitch too?)
This card is adorable, the classic style at the bottom has me wanting to close my eyes and day dream about Christmas in a little log cabin in the snowy woods. I love that the card is perfect for hanging as I know many people who do hang cards on door frames, on walls, in trees, and this gave me the idea that maybe they could double as gift tags for those loved ones we see over the holidays in person! There are a few color options and one of the best parts I think is:
1 Free Digital Proof per item ordered.
A professional graphic designer will create a personalized proof for approval before printing.
While I love taking photos, they don’t always look just perfect when doing customized pieces online when I don’t have must experience with that exact layout or product. It is great that they have a professional set of eyes there on such things to double check and make adjustments as needed. I think that is very special and gives me a bit more confidence in the cards I will ordering soon! But just what cards I am still not sure! So many lovely options!
I love the style of this card and that it is in no way religious as lets face it, secular is wonderful! What really makes me want to do this card though is that we have one of those little toy cars, we have a few little trees like that growing too near the house (bad for the foundation!) and we have adorable children that would love to try this! Alas, I am not sure I could get all 4 kids in one photo!
This is another option I love because we moved this year from Maryland to Georgia and while most know it, it could be a great chance to invite others to come visit us at the new place. Being a military family we move often! What a great card to help the new place feel like home!
This is another card I am considering as it has real foil and I love that effect, not something I have gotten on other personalized cards before. I love the mosaic style that lends itself very easily to having a large family when a family photo isn’t always the best photo of each of us! I will update when I know just what we I am going to get for this holiday season!
