Last weekend Zach and I packed it up and headed to his parents' house in Michigan to take photos for our first ever official holiday card. We've been talking about do a card off and on for like the entire time we've been together...but it always seems to be too much work, so we just don't do it.

This year though, Zach was gung-ho so I thought I'd better ride that wave while I have it! We set up a tripod (on a chair!) and found a gorgeous spot in his parents' backyard under this beautiful pair of trees whose leaves were bright yellow. I used my iPhone (you all know I use my iPhone for everything) to take the pictures and my Apple Watch as the shutter release. Three quick poses & about 50 + shots later, we were done in about 45 minutes. I was so surprised! The phone + watch combination made it super easy to shoot. I didn't have to set a timer, run over, click, run back to see if we got the shot. I could compose the shot right on the face of my Apple Watch, tap to adjust the focus and brightness, then use the 3 second timer to shoot a burst of about 10 photos at a time. Easy, peasy.
Now....all I have to do is decide on the card!
I love Minted because of the uniqueness of their card collections. Of course they don't just do cards - see more posts about Minted's offering here - but that's what we're focusing on today. They have HUNDREDS of card styles with great colorful touches and the most popular trends. Choose a die cut shape for a fun touch, hand lettering if you're creative, or tartan if you're down for traditional.
I think I'm deciding on these three cards, the last one even features gold foil! :
You can choose from a Holiday theme or get specific with religious touches, traditional Christmas or Hanukkah, or even send a Thanksgiving card. Whatever happiness you're wishing your friends and family this year Minted has you covered.
And don't forget you can enjoy up to 15% OFF + FREE SHIPPING on holiday cards!
