Happy Day 2 of Urban Bliss Life’s 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways!
Yesterday, I shared details about my recent experience dabbling in screenprinting at Ryonet. You can enter to win a DIY screenprinting kit here.
Today, I’m excited to be working with one of my favorite online stationery and art shops to be giving away a $125 credit good for anything at Minted.com!
Holiday cards, gifts, and more
Do you do holiday cards each year? I normally love trying to come up with creative ideas and design my own from scratch, but this year, the holidays snuck up on me big time. Work is crazy busy, our social schedule is in overdrive, and our family has a lot going on.
So I was excited and relieved when my friends at Minted stepped in and offered to do my family holiday cards this year. All I had to do was choose from one of their designs, and as a graphic designer myself, I LOVE that their products are all created by a community of talented designers from around the world. They have such a wide variety of styles, price levels, and customization options. It didn’t take long to find a design that meshed well with my family’s own style.
After ordering my cards, it only took a few days before they arrived. And, since I am still waiting for my address labels to arrive (by my own fault; I forgot to order those at the same time), you all get the first look at our family holiday card this year:
Isn’t it fun? Minted offers a new gold foil option on many designs, and you can see it below in the words “happy,” “hope,” “peace,” and “love.”
I’m a picky paper person, but I chose the standard paper option — and it is FABULOUS! Super thick cardstock and beautiful professional printing quality. There’s another popular site that many of my friends order their holiday cards from each year, and I have to say: their print quality and paper stock is no match to Minted. I love our cards!
There’s a back too, and I was able to choose from several different layout options, as well as colors. The site is super easy to use, and the ordering process was seamless. I’m honestly impressed.
And, I decided to take advantage of their FREE recipient addressing and I have to tell you: DO IT. You can choose from so many awesome design options, and the address uploading/adding process and print quality is top notch.
Minted offers SO much more than just cards and invitations.
They offer many gift options, as well as fabric & home decor and party decor products.
I was so enamored, that I also ordered a calendar and a journal as gifts.
These gold and silver foil table confetti pieces are also made of high quality cardstock and will help make my tables shine at our holiday gatherings this season!
And everything comes packaged so beautifully, in shrink wrap with a ribbon and sticker letting you know which sweet soul packaged up your order.
So while I no longer design holiday cards and invitations in my online shop, I can finally feel confident recommending another online site that offers unparalleled quality from the ordering process, to designs, to packaging, to materials, to customer service. Minted truly has impressed me, and I am SO very excited to be able to give away a $125 credit to their site so one of YOU lovely readers can experience their awesomeness for yourself!

There are many things I would want to make. I love the cards, but would be tempted to try their fabric being a quilt person. :)
Jenni says
I’d order NYE cards! We always do our holiday cards AFTER Christmas to avoid the added stress from before the holidays. I haven’t ordered them yet this year and minted would be amazing!

Renée says
Believe it or not, I’d likely order custom St. Pat’s Day cards. I like to send them out each year (especially on the years I miss Christmas cards, which is most of them). People may get a ton of Christmas cards, but how many St. Pat’s cards do you get each year? It’s a nice little quirk.
Ali says
Holiday cards – so behind!
Catherine says
I hear such wonderful things about Minted, and it would definitely step up our holiday cards. Plus, I love the addressing that they do. I’d use the certificate for New Year cards (the holidays snuck up on me too!).
