It is that time of year again...time to order your holiday cards. I am often asked for recommendations on card companies and one of my favorites is Minted. I love their designs, the quality of their card stock and how easy they make it to help you decide on a card....well maybe not that easy because there are so many beautiful choices! I also love how Minted is a marketplace of independent artists. All of their designs are from independent artists, illustrators and painters from all over the world.
So now, let me tell you about my Minted experience......
I ordered my cards earlier this month and love the results. As I mentioned above, ordering was easy. Once I decided on the photo I was going to use and uploaded it, I narrowed down the choices by choosing the format and clicking the "number of photos" selection. I then used the "see more filters" drop down menu to choose a color scheme, which helped me find a design that complimented the outfits my kids were wearing.
I love how the site auto populated the designs with my image so that I could see a preview right away of the cards with my photo. As you can see, I was able to tell right away what layouts wouldn't work given my photo (I have four kids, not three and the first option cropped out my son). :)
I ended up choosing a foil pressed design....decided I need a little bling this year, since I was picking a simple format....and I love the results! Oh and one thing I tried this year that I have not done before, is their FREE offer to address your envelopes (for a limited time)! All I had to do was upload my spreadsheet and that was it! SOOO easy. My beautiful cards arrived and my envelopes are ready to go. All I need is a stamp!

If you are interested in trying Minted, let me know. I have a limited number of 20% discount codes. Just leave a comment with your email address below and I will send you the code (while they last).
Disclaimer: I was provided holiday cards by Minted in exchange for this review. The opinions are entirely my own and I truly love this company.
That is really cool that they will address the envelopes, I mean really cool. I will check them out even though I have already ordered from artuprising. I ordered the ones that you can tear off the end and you have a tag. I think I am going to love that as well as the people I am sending them to. I will so check out the link for next year. Love the card and your family picture Kristina.
ReplyDeleteI need to check out the cards you mention from Artifact Uprising. They sound great!
