Why I Choose Minted for My Family Christmas Cards

When it comes to Christmas Cards it’s usually much easier to order them from an awesome place like Minted than to make them myself. I love to design things in Photoshop, but during the Christmas season I like to have other people help me out. I’m much too busy this time of year to mess with things like this. And when there are better designers out there, it’s fun to choose their designs. And who doesn’t want to support independent designers that live in the United States?

Why else to I choose Minted? The quality of paper they use, their pre-addressed envelopes, their amazing customer service . . . just to mention a few.

Just look at how my cards arrived. Minted pays close attention to detail and they make sure your cards arrive safely.

There were so many Christmas and Holiday card designs to choose from. I love these gold foil ones . . .

But I really wanted a more Christ Centered Card this year so we went with this one.

One of the many things I love about the Minted Web Site is that you can load your picture and then as your are browsing the cards, you can see exactly what your card would look like in that card. On the product page. All at once. And you can choose favorites so you can compare them to each other and pick the perfect one.

Minted is a design marketplace of independent artists from around the globe. All holiday cards are available with matching custom stamps, envelope designs and FREE recipient addressing.

Save time and make your holiday card beautiful from the inside out. Enjoy their FREE concierge address book service. Send them your addresses in any format, from envelopes to lists, and they will build out your Minted Address Book.

You can also choose 100% recycled paper, Pearlescent paper which adds a subtle shimmer, DoubleThick paper or even TripleThick paper.

A variety of backer options allow you to add additional photos, text, and customization options to your holiday card. Minted’s assortment of stationery, art, home decor and digital offerings is constantly expanding as Minted grows its artist community and hosts ongoing challenges.

I have used Minted for custom Christmas gifts too. My parents were born and raised in South Dakota and my father misses living there. I bought him this framed gold foil print of South Dakota.

And for my mother, I gave her this amazing print with pictures of our family through the year. So fun!

For myself (cause I just couldn’t help myself) I bought this custom timeline print of my 5 kids with their birthdays over them. It hangs over my computer and I look at it every day. I bought this one framed. It was so nice to have it arrive ready to hang on the wall.

I know you know someone who would love these types of gifts. Minted has so many customized gifts to choose from. Just hop on over and see all they have to offer, you won’t be sorry!
