Disclosure: I was provided with a store credit to purchase our holiday cards in exchange for my honest review and opinions.
As usual we had our family photos taken this fall and when we got our proofs back I took one look at them and decided that our holiday cards would be looking a bit different than normal this year. All because of this photo…
How can you look at this picture and not smile or laugh? The best part about this picture is that it was all a candid photo – a real photo full of true emotion from the kiddos. So while we decided that we wouldn’t do the traditional family picture on our holiday card I knew that we would be using our favorite Photo Card company, Minted once again. We have used Minted for years and the cards always turn out beautiful.

Minted’s website is so easy to use that I literally picked my card design, created my card and ordered my card in about 15 minutes. Minted is known for his beautiful options that are always a little bit different the the competitors. I feel like the card options are way more updated and creative than other card companies.
I knew that I wanted a design that had something about being happy, joyful or jolly so when I found this one I was set. Perfect right? This Holly Cheer Photo Card comes with a number of different options such as different colors, shapes of the card and format of the card. I went with a chalkboard look this year. Love it!
Minted knows how to make the cards look great when they get shipped too. So personal. I couldn’t wait to get started on getting these sent out to our family and friends.

Will you be sending out cards for the holidays this year?
Great picture of the kids. The candid photos are the best. Thanks for the information on Minted. We're always looking for the best and simplest way to get our Christmas cards out. Your cards turned out great.
I absolutely love these! We moved to Idaho from Colorado a little over a year ago and family back home has been hollering for family pictures. This would be the perfect way to send them!
These cards are so great! I love Minted and a service that I hope they still offer next year that I didn't get to take advantage of this year is that they will address your outgoing cards for free. That is so cool and next year I am totally doing that!
Every year I tell myself that I must make Christmas cards – and I never do! I'm just not a card person, I guess! Minted sounds so easy to use though…maybe next year!
Your cards turned out so cute! I love the sweet pose of your kids. Great photo!!
I think the picture is perfect. Your cards turned out so cute. I've never heard of Minted until now. Every year I say I'm going to do the picture Christmas cards but I at least get some cards out.
Candid photos usually end up being my favorite. Our family is full of personality, so I usually try to let those shine in our photos so that the family and friends that do not see us very often can get a small glimpse. Love your Christmas Cards!
Isn't Minted the best?! They have the best holiday cards, decor and more ALWAYS! I definitely need to check out Minted more thoroughly this season! Yours came out great! -Jennifer
These cards came out so beautifully! I absolutely love Minted. I always get my cards from there and I even find a LOT of fun holiday gifts there also! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards! -Lynzy
I LOVE the design of the card and it looks like it's even printed beautifully! Cards are really a thing for us as well during Christmas so thanks for this idea. Really helpful!
