This is by far my most popular giveaway, so I guess I gotta keep doing it! And it's so fun! This is my passion, designing lovely cards for everyday purposes and I love getting to share it with one lucky person!
This is my family Christmas card for 2016.
I love Christmas hues of red, green, gold and silver, but sometimes I like getting out of those traditional colors! So here I kept the red and green, but went with the lighter values of them instead. So red went to a coral-ish color and green went mint!
I wanted to find mint or coral color envelopes, but my favorite retailer doesn't carry those colors, so I went with the metallic pearlescent peach instead. Not my favorite, but it's different!
Photographer credit goes to: Missy at Xpressions Photography Missy is a Utah photographer and does all of my family photos. She gets booked fast, so book her early!
We don't have our dog yet, but I still wanted to include that special fur ball. But if I have to get really honest, I mostly just wanted to use that dog vector!
I know it's more of a thing now days to just have a Christmas greeting and a family photo, but I really like recaps of the year and what better way than to make it fun with little images and a small amount of text? It's my favorite way to do a recap.
I can give you four reasons why you should choose custom over a big photo printing retailer:
1. You get exactly what you want.
2. No one else will have the same card as you! (One year I had 3 family members with the same exact Christmas card design! Oops!)
3. You'd be supporting a small business which contributes more to the community than a big retailer.
4. You actually end up getting more for your money. Here's how:
For 25 single sided 5"x7" postcards:
Shutterfly: $26.75 (that's with their 40% coupon code!)
Tiny Prints: $68.50
Wal-Greens: $19.99 (set of 20)
OR
25 double sided 5"x7"postcards + your own custom design:
Me: $25
(*I can get them printed cheaper than the top retailers and the price also includes my design fee.)
So there, I did the work for you and now you know you're actually saving money by going custom!
