10 Days of Giveaways: Day 4 (Minted)
I love love love holiday cards. Each holiday season, I look forward to receiving Christmas cards from our family and friends all over the world. We won’t see some of our closest friends for a year or so, as military life simultaneously binds us and creates distance, so it’s fun to see how much everyone’s families have changed since we last saw them. On our entryway table, I’ll prop up the Christmas cards we receive, and always look forward to sending ours out, too.
This year, Minted kindly offered to do our family’s cards, which was great timing, as we’d booked photos with Jacquelynn Buck here in Tucson. If you’re in Tucson and looking for a photographer, I can’t recommend her enough. She does gorgeous work, got my sometimes poker-faced little lovebug to smile (at a camera!), and works quickly, which is importante when you have a little one. (She didn’t give me a discount or anything because I have a blog. She’s truly amazing and I just wanted to spread the word.)
We ordered some photos and a canvas from her, and used her photos for our Christmas card, courtesy of Minted.
They have so many beautiful options, I had a hard time deciding! In the end, we went with this “Merry and Bright” theme with rounded corners.
I can’t wait for them to arrive!
Minted also offered to participate in our 10 days of giveaways with an awesome prize: two winners will each receive a $100 credit to their site. They make gorgeous holiday cards in addition to unique gifts like personalized stationary, decor, art prints, calendars and journals. If you’re gift shopping at Minted, you can use the code “HOLLY” to get 15% off holiday card orders of $150+ (10% off orders $100+) through today.

Cute! I love receiving and sending Christmas cards, too. I especially love getting pictures with the cards 🙂 Thanks again for all of the giveaways!
Favorite funny holiday memory was during a family white elephant gift exchange and my macho male cousin received a very feminine white and fluffy pair of gloves and a scarf!

When my girls were little and helped wrap presents they’d last about one minute before they told what was in the package 🙂

Favorite holiday moment- reading ‘the night before xmas’ every xmas eve for the past 23 years with my parents and brother
My favorite holiday memory is getting out the Xmas decorations and decorating with my husband. This year is especially awesome because we recently purchased our first home and he comes home from deployment TOMORROW! Can’t wait to get in the Christmas spirit with him! 🙂
My favourite Christmas memory is when my sister and I were little we would set “traps” for Santa on Christmas Eve! Spoiler alert….we never caught him haha 🙂
Favorite holiday moment/memories are decorating the tree and wrapping gifts – somehow, wrapping them makes it more exciting to give! 🙂
We really need to do our cards soon! They always come out nice, even when we procrastinate….
Just ordered Christmas cards from Minted!
My funny holiday memory is when I was at my aunt and uncle’s one night around Christmas. I was sitting down on the floor next to the tree, when all of a sudden, the tree came crashing down on me! I was stunned for a moment, but then scrambled to get out of there lol. Luckily I didn’t get hurt!
I love stationary, holiday cards, and beautiful paper! I would love to win this give away.
I looooove wrapping presents! And seeing people’s reactions when they open their presents.
I have two favourite Christmas memories! The first is when I was very young, my parents filmed my dad dresses up as Santa putting presents under our tree. For years I really thought it was Santa. The second is last year when my boyfriend of 9 years proposed on Christmas Eve in front of both our families. It was an amazing Christmas!
My cousin used to organize a Christmas play every year after dinner. We’ve done everything from The Nativity to Charlie Brown’s Christmas.
ALWAYS putting up the christmas tree. such a great family moment.
I love the joyfully modern postcard, would love to use it this christmas!
My favorite Christmas memory is reading The Night Before Christmas in front of the tree on Christmas Eve as a kid. 🙂

Making way too many Christmas cookies, and sending them to family and friends.

This would be perfect for my family because we haven’t even taken pictures for our Xmas cards yet this year! 😯
My husband and I have never done a holiday card, but I think that it is a tradition that we should start soon. We don’t have children yet, other than our fur kids.

I haven’t even done holiday cards… I’m so behind this year
My family would always hang their Christmas cards on cupboards. It was always fun to look at them and neat to see how people have changed over the years
My favorite holiday moment would be Christmas evenings with the family. 🙂
I love Christmas cards as well! Even as a kid, I used to want to be the one to run and get the mail so I could see all the pictures.
My favorite holiday moment was waking up so excited as a little kid and running downstairs with my siblings to open presents on Christmas!
Enjoying Christmas morning with my family. <3
One year we had a squirrel in our Christmas tree, just like in National Lampoon Christmas Vacation! It was pretty funny!
My favorite moments were always the huge breakfasts we would eat after we worked up an appetite opening all of the gifts!
