The following is a product review of Minted and will reflect my personal opinion and endorsement of their products. I have been offered a promotional item for this post. 

Soon you’ll be seeing holiday cards in your mailbox and if you’re like me, you’re opening each one thinking “Ohh, neat! I wonder where is this from??” and why didn’t I take the time to send some out..  Now is the time to get your holiday photos and cards ordered so you can remember your family and friends with a beautiful holiday greeting.

I haven’t personally ordered from Minted, yet, but plan to.

With my first glance at the website, my thought was “These are gorgeous!” Such stylish and unique options. They are not the same cards you see everywhere.

Minted has a new Holiday Card Collection for 2014

A few of my favorite Minted Holiday Cards

Fun Facts

What I like: The unique layout. A simple update from your family that includes a photo, greeting and news. This card has room for it all. Very current styling.

Consider: Making this a New Year greeting. Reasonable price as a flat, non-foldable card.

Snow Child Christmas Photo Cards

What I like: The shape! So different and pretty. Simple and yet gorgeous. Truly a keepsake. This design can also be made into a foldable card. Beautiful envelopes too!

Consider: Extra postage is required for this card/square shaped envelope. Worth it? Probably! 🙂

 Insta-book Holiday  Minibook™

 What I like: I’m all about Instagram so this one is appealing to me! A photo is worth a 1000 words so if there’s 7 pages of fully customizable space for photos and text, there’s lots of room to share with family and friends!  Minted’s Minibook™ cards are 5×7 and do not require extra postage.

Consider: These babies are expensive. No other way to say it. But AMAZING!

My thoughts: Stylish, original and current designs. Lots of ordering options/additional features. Fully customizable. Quality papers. Pricier than other popular card sites but look for coupon codes and promotions. Recipient addressing looks amazing.

As you can see, there’s many options for stylish Christmas, holiday and New Year cards. Find yours on Minted!

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Cardstore. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

The holidays are quickly approaching which can lead to this type of panicky feeling if you are hosting or traveling for gatherings. We are expecting family for Thanksgiving dinner and weekend. We are having just a few but I like things a certain way and it’s a good time to get those put off projects done before a special holiday! I know my to-do list is growing in my head – haven’t even had time to write it down yet! There’s cleaning and shopping to do. And special people to be remembered.

Usually our family does not sent out holiday cards although I have sent out New Years greeting cards with family photos. Any time of the year is a good time to reconnect with family and friends and let them know you are thinking of them.  I have a special Grandma and Grandpa. So special and yet, we do not see them as much as we’d like because of distance. I decided to send them a Thanksgiving card from www.cardstore.com

Holiday Memories

Cardstore is an innovative online resource that removes the hassle from mailing out holiday cards. Once you create your custom cards with personalized pictures, messages, and signature, Cardstore will print, stamp and send the cards for you – helping to take one huge item off your already full holiday to-do list. What a time saver!

I made a gorgeous card with a photo I recently took of my last rose that was still blooming when our first snow arrived. My Grandma loves flowers and her name is even Rose so I’m sure she will like it.  This is the front of the card:

thankful Cardstore.com Card card backI have never used Cardstore before and I was very impressed with how EASY it was to create the look I wanted. There are many styles of cards available to choose from and I was able to insert pictures for the front and on the inside. It allowed me to change text and personalize the card as I wanted. I really like the font choices!

Also, the direct mailing of the card is amazing! I scheduled my card to arrive just before Thanksgiving. You just have to love technology and the convenience it offers!! I am confident it will be beautiful when it arrives.

From 11/14 – 11/20 Cardstore is offering $20 off your $50 order, and from 11/21-11/26 Cardstore is offering 30% off holiday cards!

Mason Jar Class Valentine Cards

My 4th grader still thought it was okay for me to make his valentine cards which makes me very happy! I would bet this is the last year… I’m not sure if they do valentine’s in 5th & 6th grade yet or not but he might not want something so cutesy next year.

Mason Jar Class Valentine Cards

We started out with the sweet tart suckers and needed to create a valentine to include them. I loved the mason jar printable on dandee. I revised it a little for our design. I love how they look printed on the bright colored cardstock.  It was a trick to get the double sided pages to print the correct direction and have them line up as needed but it worked out. We taped the suckers on with washi tape but that didn’t hold them well enough so we used regular tape with the decorative washi over top.

I ♥ how Brett said “It seems like some of these should be more special for my best friends” so he wrote a note on some of them and added special stickers. Happy ♥ Day!

Silhouette sketch sympathy card

This is one of my first sketch projects using the Silhouette sketch pens. They’re very fun! I’m not much of a card maker. I could enjoy it, but I get frustrated when I make something & am not thrilled with it after all the time I’ve spent. That’s why I really enjoy looking at the Silhouette Flickr group for lots of great ideas! Tons of talent there. I can’t say I’m 100% happy with how this one turned out, but I like it overall, and it is useable.
