Minted is no stranger to my Holiday Gift Guide and this year is no exception. This company made my beautiful 2013 Christmas Photo Cards and after we got our family fall photos done in September, I knew where I’d turn for this years holiday cards.
Minted carries so many cards, for any and all occasions. Yet, for this feature, let’s focus on just the Christmas and holiday cards, since talking about all they offer would be a novel. Seriously.
If you noticed, I did mention both Christmas and holiday cards, since Minted does cater to all types of card greeting from traditional religious, to an umbrella of ‘holiday’, and even fun and playful card designs. From there, you get into some wicked options to really make your cards, your own. Options include format {flat, booklet or ornament}, Printing type {flat or foil pressed}, Card Shape {any shape imaginable!}, Photo Orientation {Landscape, portrait or square} and so much more.
For my cards each year, I first first pick the photo I’d like to use so I know the orientation. Then I chose ‘Christmas Cards’ and browse through all the designs including the most popular and new additions.
Using their great filters, I might narrow it down to 3 that I love. Then, I make a card for each, add it to my saved folder and ponder for a couple days, showing my husband and getting his opinion.
While you could choose more than 1 {I’ve been tempted to}, I usually love one the most and choose that for printing. In about a weeks time, my cards with envelopes arrive for mailing, I love the entire look right down to the thick quality of the cards! And no, I don’t share my card, I don’t want to spoil the surprise, that’s part of the fun in sending them!
New this year is ‘The Minted Envelope’! Save time with FREE recipient addressing from Minted, only for a limited time. Either way, NOW is the time to get those cards ordered and mailed. Minted makes doing so beautiful and easy, and it’s always a great way to kick off the holiday season!
