Minted Holiday: Joyous New Year

If you haven't had a chance to order a Christmas card, no need to worry. You can always send out a New Year's card instead!

I have three new photo New Year's cards available through Minted this year. First up is Joyous Year, which I'm very happy to say won second place in the Happy 2013! New Year's Challenge.

Joyous Year features sweetly embellished typography for a vintage inspired feel.

(shown here with optional die cut shape)

You can order coordinating designs, like envelope liners and skinny wrap return address labels,

to add a little cheer to your envelopes.

And you can choose from a variety of options for the back of the card.

Add photos, a short note, or pick a matching pattern!

Minted Holiday: Simple Peace

Simple Peace is my second non-photo card design available at Minted this holiday season. It's intended to be sent as a business or corporate holiday card, but its timeless message would work for a family Christmas card too!

 Simple Peace is also available in red and green colorways

And you can finish off your holiday cards with a coordinating backer and skinny wrap labels!

Minted Holiday: Calm & Bright

Calm & Bright is one of three new holiday card designs I have available at Minted this year. Originally submitted to Minted's business holiday card contest, it was repurposed for use as a non-photo greeting card, and I think it turned out great!

Calm & Bright features a sweet border of pine boughs, with the classic greeting "All is calm, all is bright". (Shown with one of Minted's new die cut shapes)

Calm & Bright is also available in gold

and silver colorways.

Holiday Cards for Daily Sip Studios

Earlier this year, Kimberly at Daily Sip Studios, a letterpress design studio in Chicago, contacted me about offering my designs for sale through her site. I've been a fan of Kimberly's work for a while, and I absolutely LOVE letterpress, so I jumped at the chance.  Letterpress versions of a few of our wedding invitations are currently for sale at Daily Sip Studios (Merriment, Hope, and Ambrosia), and more are in the works. We've had a great response to these designs, so when Kimberly let me know she would be offering a holiday collection, I was happy to contribute.

Whimsy Joy features your family photo, alongside eye catching typography to express your joyful holiday wishes. The design is stunning in crimson ink, but other colors are available.

Crimson edge painting makes this gorgeous design even more festive!

Daily Sip's holiday collection will only be available for sale until Friday, November 23, so don’t wait too long to order your letterpress cards! 

Whimsy Joy is available in letterpress exclusively at Daily Sip Studios. Visit the Daily Sip Studios website to order your holiday cards today!

It's amazing to be a part of such a supportive group of designers- since I work from home, these women are the closest thing I have to co-workers, and I love having that camaraderie. And I cannot say enough good things about Jill Means, the owner of Brightside Prints!

This year's holiday collection at Brightside Prints is amazing! The designs below are a few of my contributions to the collection, but I'll be sharing more next week.
