Miranda won my annual custom Christmas card giveaway! She had these nice family photos and wanted to incorporate the colors into the design. She wanted just s simple greeting and a graphic on the back.
I hope you're having a great new year!
They toured parts of Europe which was why we decided on "Happy Christmas" and then when you turn over the back they also went to Hawaii so we also put "Mele Kalikimaka!"
I'm still taking card designs if you are last minute and want me to take care of it for you! I can do 25 for $25. If you want more I can give you a price quote.
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!
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!

I love how my family Christmas cards turned out this year! I really wanted to have rounded corners, so I splurged a bit and got them professionally printed.
I went for a simple design because I wanted to have a colored envelope. I'm really into colored envelopes right now... but they're just so fun to get in the mail!
