I am super excited to share our 2016 holiday cards with you today! In partnership with Minted, I narrowed down my favorite designs (it’s always so hard to choose from so many gorgeous layouts!) and ordered my cards early this year! I had so much fun deciding between all of the add-ons that Minted offers, like skinny return address labels and super cute envelope inserts! I wanted to get them done early this year so I could share them with you in time for you to take advantage of Minted’s Cyber Monday Sale happening today!
The entire site is 20% off with code: CM2016

A big thank you to Vicki Lynn Photography (Chandler, Arizona) for our lovely family photos. I decided on a neutral black/white/gray color palette for our wardrobe and location, as I love to hang our family photos all over our house and love when they match the decor.

Using the “Find it Fast” feature on Minted, I was able to preview my favorite family photo in all of the designs to see how it would fit! This amazing function makes it so much easier to select a design!
I chose a simple calligraphy design called Timeless Charm by Kaydi Bishop. It’s black and white, and simply gorgeous, just my style! I updated the secondary font to Futura Medium on the front and back, as well as the return address labels. It’s a bit more modern than the suggested font and I love how it paired with the calligraphy.
I’m obsessed with the coordinating return address “skinny labels” that popped up as an option. They really add a finished look to the envelope!
Another thing that I love about Minted is that they offer FREE address printing! I have never taken advantage of this before and it was such a huge time saver! Never again will I address card envelopes. I already had my addresses in a spreadsheet, I simply moved them into Minted spreadsheet download and uploaded them in minutes. They printed perfectly on the envelopes and saved me hours of hand writing addresses!
Off to the post office I go!
