Christmascard

I partnered with Minted.com for our Christmas cards again this year. They offered to help me make them and thanks to those gorgeous gold foil options I said "YES, PLEASE".

I picked my favorite photo from our Goodness photos and a holiday sentiment to match. (There were so many good options though – this was my runner up card option and is perfect if you want to highlight many photos.)

On backside I picked a more "traditional" family portrait to accompany our (short and sweet and maybe for the first time ever?!? typo free) text.

We got them out the door last week and now begins the fun part: getting the mail every day to see everyone else's cards.

    Great card! I have gotten away from handmade cards simply because when I married, my list of people to send to more than doubled! The gold foil option is perfect for something that still has that extra touch of something special! Love em!

    Love these! I am sending my first-ever Christmas cards this year – some hilarious letterpress cards from Grey Moggie, who I discovered through your podcast and Make29. Thanks for the introduction!

    I have to tell you, these are amazing. One of the most beautiful christmas cards I’ve seen. It’s that gorgeous full photo on the front side. So much love captured in that moment. The design is great as well.

    Minted is so great. I’m not doing cards this year, but will be next year, and I’ll definitely keep them in mind.
