The holidays are my favorite time of year. There is nothing like the smell of Christmas trees, the sound of holiday music, the beautiful decorations, and the memories spent with your loved ones that bring a smile to my face.
I think it is time we bring back the tradition of sending out holiday cards. I have a box where I keep each and every card I have ever gotten. I especially love the ones that have pictures on them. I hang them up during the holidays as decorations too. I have an old woven rattan thing (if I'm being honest, I am not 100% sure what it is) that I hang on my wall. Then I clip holiday cards on it with glittered cloths pins. It always looks so pretty and festive.
But I get it. No one has the time to:1. Take their family to a photographer
2. Wait for the photos
3. Make the cards
4. Address them all AND mail them out.
Now you don't have to! There is a much easier and prettier way to do holiday cards. How you say? Use your own photos, and an amazing company called Minted.
The first thing is the photos. You do not have to take your family and spend hundreds of dollars on a staged photo for your holiday card. I like to use candid pictures we have taken throughout the year. I go through my camera and cell phone and pick my favorites to use for my card. If you're not that great a photographer, you can always use a free photo editing software online or read a few beginner tutorials on photography. Honestly though, even cell phones take pretty good pictures now. The quality is much better than it used to be. I looked through some of the photos I have that may work and found some great ones.
After you have picked out a picture you would love to share with family and friends, head on over to Minted and check out their amazing collection of creatively designed and quality cards. They are printed on high quality paper and look amazing. Here are just a few example of what you can create:
All of these cards and more have matching envelopes so they look professional and cohesive. They also do receipt addressing, and for a limited time, they are offering it FREE!
