I’m starting early.
Ok early for me. By like a few days…maybe.
Fine. I’m on time then.
I’m planning, and coordinating our holiday hustle, and of course it starts with the Christmas cards.
My mom posed the FB question “Does anyone send out Christmas cards anymore?”
I of course gave her a hard time responding with a fhement, “Heck Yeah!”
Holiday cards are my thing, sure I may not get them out as punctually as I want, but they do arrive at their destination by Christmas {or close to it}. They are my way of catching up with old friends, or even passing on some happy mail to friends I see every day.
Nothing beats the anticipation of opening the mailbox and seeing a hand written envelope with the return address of someone you care about. All we receive the other 11 months of the year are bills, so it’s nice to get something special even if it’s only for a couple of weeks.
I’ve sent holiday cards for as long as I can remember, and this year will be my fifth year using Minted for my holiday cards.
Minted is different because their designs are created by a community of creatives who submit their art for approval making every piece totally unique.
With the help of Minted’s easy order system, purchasing my holiday cards becomes the simplest part of my holiday check list.
This year, we are getting new family photos taken and I can’t wait to share them on our holiday cards.
Here are a few of my favorites.
The simplicity of the Shine card makes a classic statement.
Anyone who knows us knows we are huge comic book nerds, and this card is so “us”.
Is it a holiday card or ornament? It’s both and it’s unique just like us.
This card has the elegance of the foil with a laid back feel.
There are so many designs to choose from it’s hard to pick just one.
Whichever card I choose I know I’ll have to add some coordinating skinny wrap labels too.
And to save me valuable family I’m going to have Minted address my envelopes this year. For a limited time recipient addressing is FREE and they even offer a variety of fonts and designs.
After seeing all these beautiful designs and the ease of ordering and designing with Minted I’d say the Holiday card tradition will still live on.
I’ll post my choice in the upcoming weeks. Until then Minted would like to share the Holiday card tradition with my readers by offering one of you a $100 credit to Minted.com. Enter the Rafflecopter below by December 3 at 9 pm for your chance to win.
