It’s time for Christmas cards again and I must admit, I’ve been laying down plans for ours already. It shouldn’t be so complicated but since it includes getting a family photo, it does take time to plan. I have to choose clothing for four people, coordinating, of course, and then plan on where and when the photos will be taken. Actually, I really enjoy the process. It’s fun.
On top of that, I’ve also been cruising around the web checking on Christmas card templates. Minted asked me to choose a few of my favorites from their collection and share them with you. I really admire Minted and their collection of artists. As an artist myself, I like their method of promoting real work by real artists. They’ve curated a fantastic selection of unique work one could spend hours browsing.
But back to Christmas cards. I’m rather particular about how they look. I like the single photo options best although I did choose an Instagram-grid like one because it’s cute and clean. I also love red writing (shocking, right?). Red just has to be a part of the holidays for me. I look for cards with the “Merry Christmas” greeting because 1) I like it and 2) it gives me a firm deadline. Haha! I have to get them addressed and mailed in a timely manner or they will be late! And while I am not a font expert, I don’t understand the ins and outs and rules of it all, I am a bit of font snob. I love scripted text because it looks like it could be handmade and that feels more personal to me. Above are the eight top picks I limited myself to. What do you think? What do you look for when picking a Christmas card?
Now that I have my options, I best be getting back to shopping for coordinated clothing. :)
