Every year around this time, I start thinking that I should design a holiday card to send out to our friends and family. All of a sudden it’s December, and I end up posting a holiday themed photo to Facebook on Christmas morning instead. Well, no more! Minted to the rescue! How have I never come across this amazing website before?
Minted is a design marketplace full of stationery, art and home decor by independent artists from all over the world. I’ve pretty much spent hours going through all the beautiful holiday cards, and I’m having a really hard time choosing one! Really, there’s a card for every type of holiday personality! What’s your holiday personality? Take a look at some of my favourite Minted cards and find out!
Holly & Jolly
{hand drawn elements}
You’re the girl at the holiday party in a brightly coloured cocktail dress and bedazzled party shoes, walking around with a glass of bubbly in your hand. You’re the life of the party with an infectious laugh and endless charming anecdotes. Spread some cheer this holiday season with one of Minted’s cards that feature hand drawn elements to infuse it with a bit of your lovable and approachable personality. Seriously, how cute are these cards?
Merry & Bright

For you, the holidays are about spending time with your loved ones, and your family holiday gatherings are big, loud, and full of laughter. Christmas morning is chaotic and cozy as everyone gathers under the tree in their pyjamas and bed head to open gifts together. Try Minted’s letterpress holiday cards for a feeling of warmth paired with neon colours. I’m loving the pop of unexpected holiday colours on these cards!
Folksy & Festive
{hand crafted die-cuts}
You’re the one in the family that gives incredibly thoughtful gifts in beautifully wrapped boxes with hand-made tags. You almost like wrapping gifts more than unwrapping them! You’re perfectly content to stay indoors in fuzzy socks and bake holiday treats, or string together some popcorn garland for the tree. Try one of Minted’s 9 unique die-cut shapes and adorable illustrations to give your holiday card a hand crafted touch. These cards just feel like home to me!
Glitz & Glam
{foil-pressed metallics}
If you had to choose an era, it would be all about the Jazz age. Your holiday colours are black and gold, and your holiday parties echo Art Deco with classic cocktails, bedazzled gowns, a night on the town and an air of refinery. Minted now exclusively offers foil-pressed holiday cards in gold, silver and rose gold for that perfect touch of vintage elegance. Metallics you guys! In ROSE GOLD! I’m swooning! Someone find me a fainting couch.
Comfort & Joy
{vintage typography}
Your perfect holiday starts with a cup of coffee and Bailey’s as you curl up by the fire with a good book, while classic Christmas carols play in the background. You’re all about the small moments throughout the holidays, like being the first one awake on Christmas morning, or making footprints in the freshly fallen snow. Take a peek at some of Minted’s cards with vintage flair, bringing you back to the holidays of your childhood. These cards make me yearn for a slower pace and lazy afternoons!
So which holiday personality do you think you are? Can you guess which one I am? This year, all Minted holiday cards are available with matching envelopes and recipient addressing, which means I could skip that part where my hand cramps up while writing out a ton of addresses, and ink smears all over my arms in a very un-ladylike fashion. For a limited time, this service is FREE. How amazing is that? This alone is incentive enough to get going on ordering our holiday cards! If you’d like to open up your mailbox this holiday season and find an adorable little envelope sent to you by yours truly, send me your mailing address!
