Our holiday cards are in and I love them. I tend to choose a simple Christmas card and keep them to the point (best wishes from us) and it’s always a picture of the kids.  I used Minted this year and was more than pleased with the whole process.  I took my picture to Minted.com, uploaded it and instantly was greeted by hundreds of card designs with my image already inserted. It only took me a couple minutes to choose. I went with Happy Everything. Whether those I’m sending it to celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Years or nothing at all, I just want to wish them a happy everyday of the year forever. The cards arrived within a week and now they are waiting for me to address and stamp them! The actual card is printed in a heavy paper stock and has a textured feel, not a printed photo.
Minted.com utilizes the talents of independent artists from all over the globe to design cards, stationery and other gifts to give or enjoy for yourself. The Minted community votes on new designs each month to encourage creativity and innovation in the current designers and up and coming artists showing off their work. These independent artists are free to create designs that will hopefully be used in the products that customers choose for their projects.
There are so many styles others that I loved while looking at their designs. The Storyboard cards caught my eye; a great way to update long distance friends and family with what happened all year long. Remind those of birthdays celebrates, milestones in growth and learning or even of 1sts like Shae’s dance recital. I think this will be something we do next year.
Minted.com isn’t just for holidays cards, visit them new baby arrivals, party invitations and wedding announcements.
