Minted

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Minted.

In keeping with my Balsam Hill wreath and their giveaway post, I thought I’d keep the early planning going with a post about Minted and, specifically, their Holiday and Christmas Photo Cards. 

In their own words:

Minted is a global community of independent graphic designers and an online store that prints and sells the best of their designs in the form of paper goods.

We believe that great design lives and thrives in the hands of indie designers that people may not have access to through traditional retailers. Our goal is to use technology to allow our community to discover the work of great designers from all over the world. And at the same time, create a place where designers can get exposure and build their careers.

Minted holds monthly design challenges for stationery, invitations, calendars, and other categories and all graphic designers are invited to enter. The Minted community selects the best designs in a highly competitive process, which gives us a top selection of the freshest, finest cards in the world. Winning designers earn cash prizes, a place in the Minted collection, and commissions on all sales of their designs.

I love getting photo cards at Christmas time from family and friends, especially those with children {or grandchildren these days!} to see how much they’ve grown.   I used to enjoy doing photo cards at the holidays myself when my kids were younger, although the options out there weren’t as widespread as they are today.

 

I like that some of their features include an optional back, where you can have your Christmas or holiday letter to recipients.  All the designs are beautifully done and prices vary with choices in different colors and shapes. 

They also offer a selection of wedding invitations.

Business cards.  These would come in handy for the Haven Conference!

As well as art prints.  There is even an area on their website where you can set up an inspiration board.  I will be passing this website onto my daughter, as she also likes to do Christmas photo cards now.  Just something to think about as we enter into September and we all know how quickly these next three months seem to go!
