Christmas cards are hands hand down one of my all time top favorite holiday activities. I just love everything about the, taking family photos, to choosing a card theme and design, and picking out all of the extra details that make a card extra special, I just love it. This year was so exception and we went with TinyPrints (from Shutterfly) for our cards again. I love their unique designs and choosing a card design is so hard to do only because they're all so pretty! Eventually I narrowed it down to two different designs, this pretty gleaming joy design, and this "Blessed" ribbon gold foil design that we ultimately went with and Frank helped me choose. Gold foil is such a weakness of mine, because gold, and shiny are two words that always catch me eye, plus I love the glam and festive feel that it brings.
I wanted a little more minimal look this year, simple and classy and I feel that this card design totally captures the look I was dreaming of for our 2017 Christmas cards. The great thing is that Shutterfly and Tiny Prints make it so easy to create just what you're looking for this year! All you need to do is choose a card design (that's the hard part, for me anyways, since they're all so pretty), add your photo, add your family name and that's pretty much it. the rest is just small details that you can choose based on what you'd like, they have signature card stock or you can choose what we always do, pearl shimmer card stock (my fave), from there, most card designs have different color foils and glitters and backgrounds you can actually choose to completely personalize your card! And if square edges on your card don't suit your fancy, you can decide from scallops, rounded edges and more, seriously the ways you can personalize these cards are endless to make them truly one of a kind and completely your own. So fun right?
I also grabbed some lovely personalized postage stamps to match our Christmas cards and I feel they're the perfect way to tie everything in and create a seem-less and festive holiday card look. When your card shows up in the mail everyone will stop and take note! And who has time to sit and write address for hours? Shutterfly and Tiny Prints also offers to envelope addressing! I didn't choose that option this year but it's definitely on my list for next year! I did however choose a custom self inking address stamp for our return address on the cards!
If you still need cards, there's still time! You can browse and choose form so many festive designs here, and there are always a ton of promo codes available on their website so make sure to take advantage of all of those (you can usually use multiple codes) while choosing your design and checking out with your cards or personalized gifts. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays friends!
