I’m super thrilled that minted.com picked us to feature their cards again this year. I found “the one” very quickly. I’m not usually so decisive, but I fell in love. Sounds corny, but it was love at first sight. Yes, I feel that passionately about my Christmas cards. I really enjoy picking, preparing, and sending them.
Getting the perfect family photo to go on the card was a whole different story. It’s laughable now, but it got seriously ridiculous. I didn’t hire a photographer this time around, but boy I should have! It’s amazing we have a current picture for our card this year. Look at what I was working with…a hangry 18 month old. Yikes.
I present to you, my favorite Christmas card until next year’s becomes my new favorite. Minted.com is the best!
Our 2014 Christmas Card
Minted.com is very user friendly, they have beautifully designed cards, and you can customize them to perfection. All I had to do was drop my photo in and personalize the text.
There are plenty of design and color options to make the card perfect for you. I choose the striped backer. You have the option of text, a photo collage, photos and text, and other color options were available too. I think corner rounding is a nice touch as well. I’m telling you, you can tweak these cards is so many wonderful ways.
The Envelopes
I am so in love with the envelopes. Minted went above and beyond with the options for the envelopes. The coordinating paper inside the envelope is just plain adorable. I was able to choose from a good variety of designs for the font and graphics included on our envelope too.
Ready for the best part? They addressed them for me. I have my address book imported into minted.com and they do all the work for me. I love the handwriting font option too. They came quickly and the quality is amazing.
