Christmas Cards 2015 + Minted Giveaway

12/04/2015 3 Comments

One of my favorite things each year is to send out Christmas cards to our friends and family.  Each November we get all prettied up for our annual family photo session with our sweet photographer friend from Shannon Worley Photography, if you’re local to AZ I highly recommend her.  I typically don’t order school photos of our boys during the school year so this is our time to document not only us as a family, to document the boys in a more personal way and share it with those we love.  

I love everything about sending out our cards, from choosing our wardrobe and theme for the year – to the card design – to addressing the envelopes…I love it all.  This year I’ve ordered our cards from Minted.com, and I’m so excited to get them.  Minted had so many amazing card choices to pick from, that’s the hardest part for me…there are so many I love!  I’m so excited to share our Christmas Cards 2015 + Minted Giveaway offering three lucky readers a $100 credit!

First, I thought it would be fun to round-up and share some of my favorite cards from Minted.  There is something for everyone.

Minted.com uses Luxury Paper & Print Quality.  Their signature paper is thick and luxurious with a creamy cotton texture and has been optimized for photo printing. You can also pick 100% recycled paper, Pearlescent paper which adds a subtle shimmer, DoubleThick paper or even TripleThickTM paper.  They offer 9 unique die-cut shapes and a variety of backer options for adding additional photos or text.  One of my favorite parts is that this year all holiday cards are available with matching envelope designs, including recipient addressing.  You can also upgrade and add a matching return address to each card as well.

Here’s a preview of our 2015 cards front and back.  When I got our proofs back and saw that my youngest was making a slightly annoyed face, I at first was a little annoyed because had he been smiling his normal smile it would have been perfect.  Then the more I looked at the photo I realized it was already perfect, it showed his strong-willed personality and I love it.  So it became our main photo for the card.
