Christmas cards by Minted + $100 Minted Credit Giveaway

Being a super busy Mama, having something BIG checked off of the holiday to-do list even before it’s December is a major win and reduces holiday stress so much (can I get an AMEN?)! So, I’m super excited about the fact that I have already placed my Christmas card order and actually have them in my hands, friends. YES. SO THANKFUL. They came in the mail earlier this week and I am just so happy with the way that they turned out! They are beautiful! To make the Christmas card process so much more simple, I went with Minted.com this year for my Christmas cards. This was my first year using Minted and I have to say that the entire experience and process was wonderful. I have ordered from them in the past, but never purchased Christmas cards from them and so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Minted has SO many beautiful card designs to choose from (see them all HERE), but I finally decided to go with THIS one and I couldn’t be happier.

When choosing which I design I wanted, I knew that I wanted to have a religious sentiment on the card and loved how I could set different search parameters up to find exactly what I was looking for. I knew I only wanted to use one photograph on our card and so I was able to narrow my search even more by adding that onto my search as well. A feature that I really loved is that I could upload my Christmas card photo and it would automatically add it to every single card design so that I could see right away what my photo would look like with that design. Total time-saver for sure! Way to go, Minted!

When you finally choose a design, there are so many other amazing choices you can make – whether it’s having the option to have it foil-pressed (which I did and it’s GORGEOUS), changing the main colors of the design, changing fonts, changing the shape of the card or adding text – you just have so many different ways of customizing your card design to make it your own and exactly the way you imagined it. It’s awesome.

I even choose the design that I wanted to put on the BACK of the card and I added some really cool extras to my order – like these super cool Skinnywrap labels that have my return address on one side and then they wrap around to the back of the envelope and have MERRY CHRISTMAS on the other end. Super cool! They were a breeze to add to envelopes and I loved how I didn’t have to hand write my address on all of them!

Another cool thing Minted offers is FREE recipient addressing on your envelopes. I just simply wrote down my Christmas card list, copy + pasted addresses into Minted.com and clicked to get that option and they put the addresses on all of my envelopes. They even had different designs to choose from that coordinated with my card design. Super cool and once again – saved me SO much time! I also got some envelope liners that matched the back of my card. They were super simple to slip in and I love the extra little touch that they gave to my Christmas cards.

I just loved the entire process from start to finish and when I received my card order, I was impressed once again because y’all, the quality is just AMAZING. I know that Minted is known for their high-quality products and having purchased some of their products in the past, I knew that to be so true, but after seeing their cards – well, it just confirmed that to me because they quality of them is amazing!  They also were shipped out very quickly and packaged so nicely! Even the receipt that came in the order was packaged so cute in this kraft envelope and muslin bag. LOVE! Be sure to check out their Holiday Delivery Deadlines page as well so you know just how long you have before you’ve gotta get those Christmas card orders in! Super handy!
