Time for holiday cards...

With the holidays nearly upon us, my creative wheels are already spinning about our family Christmas cards. My husband Mark and I adore sending and receiving these little deliveries of love and friendship. ChristmasCard_Blog4 For the past several years I have turned to one of my favorite companies, Minted, for help with our cards. They make it incredibly easy, quick and fun to design, print and mail your holiday cards.  Simply upload that photo you worked so hard to get (you Moms out there know what I am talking about). Their site will then preview your photo on all their different designs so you can easily pick your favorite card. Once you have your favorite design selected, you then customize and personalize it with an endless array of options like rounded corners, printed backs and colorful envelope liners. They have a super quick turn around time and now they even address them FOR FREE! Are you kidding me? That part used to take me hours. And if you don't want to use a photo, never fear. Minted also has lots of wonderful options that do not use photos. Here are our last two Christmas cards we sent using Minted (and starring Baby B of course).  ChristmasCard_Blog2ChristmasCard_Blog3 The folks at Minted must have known I was one of their biggest fans, because they invited me to a soire last week to kick off the season. As with everything Minted, it was done perfectly.   MintedChristmasCard_Blog4 MintedChristmasCard_Blog2 MintedChristmasCard_Blog MintedChristmasCard_Blog3 While at the party I had the pleasure of meeting several of the fabulous ladies behind Minted. They generously offered to give one lucky cinda b blog reader a $200 gift certificate to apply to their holiday card order. To sweeten the pot even more, we are giving away a cinda b Market Tote in your choice of patterns to help you with all your holiday shopping.  Minted + cinda b = a perfect holiday package. Who doesn't love that? Enter to win both the $200 Minted gift card and a cinda b Market Tote below. Good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway  P.S. I already have this year's cards ordered and we can't wait to send them out. I don't want to spoil the surprise though, so be sure to follow us on Instagram. I'll share our little piece of holiday cheer over there soon.   Vail_BlogPost
