One of my favorite holiday traditions is sending Christmas cards. You’re probably thinking it’s not that big of a deal, everyone sends cards. However, I realize that more and more people are sending cards via email instead of the traditional way…snail mail! For me, part of the joy is sending a special holiday card to all our friends and family and brightening their day with a card in the mail. And of course, I love getting cards in the mail! I display all of mine until well into the new year. I especially love photo holiday cards, to be able to see updated photos of all of my friends and family and to have something pretty to display is special to me! I try to find the perfect photo to put on our cards, it might not be the most professional one but it will be the one that shows off Abby’s personality to the fullest!!
To go along with the perfect picture, I need the perfect card. I love cards that are just a little bit different and that will stand out, I love lots of color! This year I was excited to find out about Minted.com, a wonderful site that has a fantastic selection of card/paper products such as Holiday Cards, Baby Announcements, Photo Gifts and Party Invitations! Since I’ve never visited Minted’s website before I spent, quite some time just browsing and seeing what all I could find. I quickly decided that Minted had several products that were perfect for me and it was quickly becoming a favorite website! I was thrilled to discover Mommy Cards and of course, a wonderful selection of Christmas Cards!
Okay, before I get too distracted talking about all the amazing products Minted offers, I should probably focus on my current task of finding the perfect Christmas Card! I like cards that are fun, colorful, kinda simple and just really different from the typical, plain, ordinary cards. Here are a few of my favorites that Minted has to offer:
This one is super cute, its fun and whimsical in a childlike way which is perfect for a picture of Abby.
This one is really pretty for a family portrait, simple and elegant.
Oh my gosh I LOVE this one! This one is perfect for my rotten lil monkey!
With such a wide variety of photo cards to select from, I know I’m going to have a hard time picking just one. You might be wondering why all the fuss about a photo card, it’s still just a card. Well, that’s where you’re wrong. A photo card is so much more, it’s unique and personalized just for you. No one else will have the exact same card as you unlike all those boxes of cards you find in the regular stores. A Photo Christmas Card gives you the opportunity to design your own card the way you want to. You can change up the wording just a bit, you of course select the picture, people know that you took the time to create these fantastic cards to share with them.
If you’re still buying boxed cards, do something different this year. Toss out that box and head over to Minted.com to create a special Photo Christmas Card to spread holiday cheer with. Once you’re done designing, take advantage of the 15% off Minted is offering my readers!
