MINTED Holiday Cards + Family Pics!

Hey everyone!  Have you purchased your holiday cards yet?  I am pumped to be partnering with Minted again this year.  We have created our cards with Minted for the last three years and I am always so happy with the results.

The 2013 card is probably my favorite ever.  It makes me crack up every time I see it.  We had to convince Levi that he needed to have serious face for the picture.
Last year Minted helped me to combine our Christmas card with our birth announcement, which was awesome because being a new Mom at Christmas is #overwhelming.

And this year we are doubly pumped to share a sneak peak of both our Minted card and a new family photo....


.....TA-DA!  We just had our pictures taken by Barbara Brooks and she did an amazing job.  That tent in the photo, she made it!  She was great with the kids and we got a ton of really beautiful photos.  If you are in the Sacramento area, I highly recommend her!

Our Minted cards this year are foil pressed (read: fancy schmancy), I cannot wait to see the hard copy version. Minted has so many unique options for cards and the customer service is outstanding.  They will also address your cards for you!  Not. Even. Kidding.  It's as simple as downloading their address template, filling it out (or in my case, cut/pasting from my own template), then uploading to the site. Making changes is super easy too.  So this year all we have to do is stamp these babies and send them out, which is great.  Also, Minted sends a proof, so you can review your card before printing.  I made a couple of boo-boo's on mine, so I was able to fix these thankfully.

You are not too late for holiday cards, so go over to Minted and get yours now, they are constantly running great deals!  And if you are reading this on December 25th, you still aren't too late, Minted has a plenty of fabulous New Years card options as well.

Welcome to December!!

**P.S.  This is a sponsored post.  Minted gave me a credit to use towards our holiday cards this year.  That being said, I will continue to order cards from Minted, credit or not, because they are awesome.  In fact, I did just that last year.

P.S.S.  It's Cyber Monday and Minted is running deals!

Minted. + a GIVEAWAY!

Hey Friends!

Well Thanksgiving is officially over and Christmas is right around the corner.  I'm not sure how the holiday's manage to sneak up on me every year, but they always do.
















If you are like me you've only just ordered your holiday cards.  This year we got ours from a great company out of San Francisco called Minted.


"Minted crowd-sources design and art from a global community of independent designers, then sell their best designs as fine products such as stationery, wall art, and décor for the home, holidays, and occasions. Minted was an early pioneer of crowdsourcing product design and has held open art and graphic design challenges monthly since 2008."  This idea of using designers from all over the world with the help of the internet makes for truly creative and unique cards and products.


















This year minted is also offering foil stamped cards.
















The dog in this photo reminds me of Otis, so happy!)
















The fabulous cards from minted are only just the beginning though.
There are party decor "kits".....

















....menu's.....

















...and my favorite - personalized wrapping paper!














































Seriously.  This recipe one?!  I die.

This is only a tiny sampling of all the good stuff Minted has.  I would encourage you to click over to their site and explore around.

The Minted website is user friendly.  I know because I've created like a million sample cards for my picky husband (yes Nicholas, 1 million is an exaggeration).  The other great thing I discovered is you can personalize your cards with a mobile device (I used the iPad).  I wish more sites would allow this (ahem, Picmonkey!).  So yay to Minted for that feature.

Now let's get to the good part.  I'm convinced you already love Minted, how could you not right?
I'm happy to share that Minted has generously offered a giveaway for a $50 credit to one reader to use at their site.  Yipee!

Just enter the Rafflecopter below, winner will be announced next week!
