Foil pressed holiday cards at Minted

[TrudyCampbell]

This solidifies my choice to use gold as an accent color.

ETA The rest of their collection is also out and Tiny Prints has their stuff now too.

I realized my obsession with holiday photo cards began as a child when my mother did NOT send out holiday photo cards. They would all come pouring in and I'd be so jealous of the other families.

This story will probably end with Violet in 30 years refusing to send holiday photo cards because her mother was so obsessed with them and she never wants to think about them ever again. Sigh.

I love holiday cards. I get irrationally annoyed that my ILs don't send us one haha

I really wanted my ILs to send one last year with a picture of Violet (it seems like something they'd do). If they decide to send one this year now that my SIL had a baby I'll be filled with rage all over again.

That's my #1 favorite so far! And I'm 99% sure you will be able to make it say whatever you want. Their cards are very customizable. I hope my photo ends up working with that design, it's gorgeous.

ETA AndyCohen you can change the wording, I just did it.

LOL, this is totally me too. My mom thinks photo cards are AWish, but I always wanted them sooo bad. Now I get to drive DH crazy with my obsession...

I'm doing a mini session with someone where we get only like 8 photos I think. You should be able to find a bunch of photographers doing mini sessions in Central Park.

Hmm maybe we'll do that. Depends if they charge an insane amount for the digital images.

My person is including the images. She's based out of Brooklyn but she would probably go to Manhattan. I don't think her photos are amaaazing but they are good enough. I'll PM you the prices and info.

 I don't think we can top last year's card/photo. It kinda bums me out.

I don't remember yours! Find it and post it. NOW! I think your designs are saved on minted somewhere??

Trudy, did you see the ad that's been going on in Facebook for a free birth announcement kit?? It contains lots of paper samples, etc

[AndyCohen]

Best ever, Dahli!!! Gosh, if I can get a picture of my kids like that, I can avoid putting postpartum me anywhere near Christmas OR New Year's, and everyone will be grateful, lol.

That picture is pure perfection.

[carawestt]

I love that picture, Dahli!

I really want to do holiday cards but I want both babies in the picture. I might just skip it this year and wait a month for the birth announcement.

LOVE those cards! I hope with all of the house selling/moving/pregnant drama I'll get my butt in gear and get some done!
