Looking to stun your family and friends with the most amazing card this Christmas?  I like to think of my self as a paper connoisseur…(really, i am a bit ‘snobby’ about cardstock)…and am so in love with these cards from Minted.  The printing is gorgeous.  The colors are spot on.  The designs are nothing short of gorgeous.  And they just FEEL so lovely in your hands!  Check out my little friend ‘O’ on the design of one of my favorites…yes, you’ll see quite a few of her smiles as you browse through the Holiday Photo Card selections HERE.

Don’t be scared, these cards are not over-priced.   And, order this weekend for FREE SHIPPING!

And, as the questions are pouring in about  cards  right now, I thought I would just share my personal take on what makes for a great card:

1.  QUALITY:  Thick cardstock, great printing.  Ala Minted.

2.  IMAGE SIZE:  People want to see the picture…not just the design.  Personally, i love full-bleed images as opposed to tiny boxed-in pictures.

3.  DESIGN:  The colors in the design (logo, font, etc.)  should coordinate with the colors in the picture.  Nothing makes a card more busy than mis-matched graphics!  🙂
