Holiday Cards from Minted

I am often asked for recommendations on holiday card companies and one of my favorites is Minted.  I love their designs, the quality of their card stock and how easy they make it to help you decide on a card….well maybe not that easy because there are so many beautiful choices! 

Spoiler Alert…for those of you on my holiday card list you are getting a preview of what will be arriving in your mailbox in the upcoming weeks.

I ordered my cards earlier this month from Minted and love the results.  As I mentioned above, ordering was easy.  Once I decided on the photo I was going to use and uploaded it, I narrowed down the choices by choosing the format and clicking the “number of photos” selection.  I then used the “see more filters” drop down menu to choose a color scheme, which helped me find a design that complimented the outfits my kids were wearing.

I love how the site auto populated the designs with my image so that I could see a preview right away of the cards with my photo.   As you can see, I was able to tell right away what layouts wouldn’t work given my photo (I have four kids, not three and the first option cropped out my son).  🙂

I ended up choosing a foil pressed design….decided I need a little bling this year, since I was picking a simple format….and I love the results!  Oh and one thing I tried this year that I have not done before, is their FREE offer to address your envelopes (for a limited time)!  All I had to do was upload my spreadsheet and that was it!  SOOO easy.  My beautiful cards arrived and my envelopes are ready to go.  All I need is a stamp!

A little close up shot of the foil circles (and the pre-printed envelope)…so shiny and cute!

If you are interested in trying Minted, let me know.  I have a limited number of 20% discount codes.  Just leave a comment with your email address below and I will send you the code (while they last).

 

Disclaimer:  I was provided holiday cards by Minted in exchange for this review.  The opinions are entirely my own and I truly love this company.  Check them out, I bet you’ll love them too!

Change is hard… but it’s also really good.

After years in Silicon Valley, we made the move to wine country—and it already feels like exactly where we are meant to be. Slower mornings, more space, and a chance to breathe a little deeper.

One thing that pushed us to make the leap was the unexpected loss of a dear friend. Her passing was a heartbreaking reminder that life is short. We don’t always get “someday.”

So here’s your nudge from me: whatever’s on your heart, just do it. Don’t wait. Life is meant to be lived. 💕

Cheers to new chapters, more beauty, and saying yes. 🍷🍇🍷

I should be packing for our move…

But instead, I’m here having a blast at my latest branding shoot!

Swapping cardboard boxes for creativity feels like the right choice, don’t you think?

Packing can wait—this is way more fun.

I have big news to share……

We are moving at the end of the month! Eek! I’ve been quiet here on social media because the last month I have been busy with Goodwill runs, packing and planning! It is a lot of work to pack up a house you’ve lived in for nearly 21 years as a family of six! 😅

But we are trading the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley for country living in wine country. 🍷🍇

I’ll still be working with clients on branding photo shoots and social media management but it may look a little different.

My husband and I are super excited for this new chapter in our life. And our kids are enthusiastic too! I have a dear friend who has been with me along this journey and while I’m a little nervous about the move (but mostly excited), I keep hearing her words whispered in my ear….”if not now, then when?”

So here we go!!! 🍇🍷🍇🍷
