Christmas Cards

Yes, I know it's only November 2nd and some people are still celebrating Halloween. (I might be one of them. Hello, chocolate and sour candy and chocolate.)  I still have several boxes of Halloween décor to put away myself, and then there is that holiday about gratitude that still has to happen.  We certainly don't want to forget Thanksgiving! But, the most wonderful time of the year will be here before you know it, and it's never too early to be thinking about THE perfect Christmas and/or holiday card.

We are thinking about trying out this gold glittered ornament style card (ribbon not shown in our example above) from Minted.

If you've never ordered from Minted, I am so excited to introduce you to them.  They pride themselves in beautiful designs from all over the world printed on exquisite, luxurious stocks of paper.  And if you place your order by November 4th (you don't even have to actually have your picture yet), there are so many great deals you can score! For example, automatic $10 off all holiday card orders.  Or, if you want to take advantage of free shipping and free card backers (the decorative backs of the cards that usually cost more), you can enter the code BACKERFS. Best of all, if you are a new Minted customer and subscribe to their newsletter, you qualify for a unique 30% off code!  (If you aren't a new customer, don't despair, you can use the code 15JOY to save 15% off.)  Remember, buy now, upload your photos later!

There are hundreds of cards to choose from, so be sure to check them out.  Here are a few of my favorite holiday cards from Minted this year.
