I really hope you’ve all heard of Minted by now!? Please say yes! They are quickly becoming one of my favorite shops for paper goods and most especially, their beautiful holiday photo cards {which I am already thinking about! Christmas is only 2 1/2 months away!}. The design choices are so vast and abundant because they work with independent graphic artists and designers all over the world AND they hold regular design competitions where you can go to the site and vote for your new favorite designs!
A few of my current favorites:
Joy in the box and Holiday Centerpiece
Blushing Christmas and Merry & Bright
The non-photo holiday cards are just as charming and to be honest, I may go this route if we can’t get a good family photo! Pictured are Merry Typography and Holiday Flowers.
Now comes the REALLY fun part! Minted was nice enough to hook me up with a few of their holiday cards and they would like to do the same for YOU!
To enter, just leave a comment on this post with your favorite Minted card/product OR tell me….do you like to do holiday photo cards or do you stick to old fashioned non-photo cards? Please make sure you include your email or a way to contact you!
I personally love giving {and receiving} photo cards but find it stressful to get that perfect picture and sometimes wish I could just send a regular card! haha
This giveaway will close at 8pm next Wednesday and a winner will be selected via random.org and announced on the blog next Thursday.
This giveaway is closed! Congrats to Anandi R. who was selected by random.org as the winner!

Your contact info will only be used to contact you if you are selected as a winner. While Minted was awesome enough to supply me with some holiday cards as well, I was not otherwise compensated for writing this post. All opinions and commentary included in this post are my own and it’s the honest truth. I don’t lie about products I love.
I love holiday photo cards. I have sent them for the last four years, ever since I got married. I also love receiving holiday photo cards. It's fun to see how we change and families grow over the years.
BTW I just found your blog through design mom and love it!

Awesome giveaway! I love photo cards now that I have adorable kiddos to put on them.

I only like photo-cards if my grandparents were on them < ;
Otherwise, non photo cards for me, Minted's Typographic cards are all quite nice

I love so many of the cards at minted that I could not choose a favorite! I love photo cards most, and that is usually what I send, but once or twice I've bought folded cards I loved and just put the photo inside, instead.
Great giveaway, thank you!

I like to make cards with my sisters! I definitely have some single cards floating around that we made at least 12 years ago!

You are so on top of it! I love sending out photo cards but they are so much work to get a family picture. Maybe that's why I usually just add cute pictures of the kids and leave Casey and I out.

There is a wedding in our family's future so I peeked at the wedding invitations.....oh they're are so many wonderful ones!

We have a new little one this year so I'm thinking photo card is a must! love all the designs you found!

I love photo cards...this year it might be more difficult getting the perfect family pic with a new little one!

I like to send photo cards and I like to get photo cards because sometimes it's the one time a year I get to see how much friends' kids have grown. And I love the "oh joy" cards you picked out up above, cute!

Blushing Christmas is my favorite!
Posted by: Jessica | October 05, 2012 at 10:12 PM
"Merry Typography" is one of my favorites. I LOVE getting cards and 3 years ago we started giving cards out ourselves. It makes it more fun. The challenge is getting a decent picture : )

I usually go with the old fashioned non photo card. I love Minted's "Making Spirits Bright" one! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

We always make our cards and never include photos! I think the photo card thing has gone overboard! We don't need pictures of adult children! But, minted has such awesome things, I could be convinced to put a photo of my kids on a card this year....

I love Minted! A friend of a friend is (or used to be) their CTO, I think.
We don't usually send photo cards, but for the past 2 years I've been making a little "photo craft" to enclose in my cards, usually a paper ornament, and I use a photo of our whole family. I have a lot of non-photo cards stockpiled so until I use those up I can't buy or make my own cards :D
Posted by: ARC | October 08, 2012 at 08:03 PM
Totally a photo card girl! They are my favorite to receive and I LOVE picking them out! Oh, love Minted too, btw. I LOVE the Merry & Bright photo card. From the colors, to the fonts - love! Can you believe it's almost Christmas? Can't wait.

Recently married (9/28) so I love all the holiday couples that say have "Married Christmas". So cute!!
Posted by: KristinL | October 10, 2012 at 10:10 AM
Too many cute options to choose from! I love the one that says "Happy Everything" though. I'm a big lover of photo cards (even if they are more work/cost). I just think it's more special and something that people actually want to keep. I keep all of the photo cards I get... it's fun to look back on last year's Xmas cards and see how my friend's families have changed. :-)
