Minted Design Challenge: Holiday 2013

It's the biggest holiday challenge of the year over at Minted, and my absolute favorite category to design for! I have been designing holiday cards since, well, last Christmas, and always breath a sign of relief when I submit my final design...

The competition is intense - with a record 3, 348 entries! I will be attempting to vote for every. single. one. but just voting on some will help Minted know what they should sell this year so head on over to vote!

New Features at Minted (and a giveaway!)

Before I show of my new holiday designs, I thought I'd show you some of Minted's new features. If you've taken a look at the new holiday collection, you might notice that Minted now offers several new customization: postcards, die cuts and TRIPLE thick paper. minted

The post card option is a great one for a little more affordable option, and what's great about the die cuts is that you can see what shapes work with your design and actually see the card in the shape before you buy.

... and then there's the triple thick paper. I've seen it in person and it's really impressive. If you are a paper person and want your holiday card to really stand out, it certainly will with this luxurious paper option.

And now for the giveaway: together with Camille Styles, Minted is now giving away a $1,000 gift card on their site! Sign up now through September 25th!

Minted Design Challenge: 2012 Holiday Card Collection

While everyone else is kicking off the official start of summer, all the photo card designers are busy trying to get in the holiday spirit. Why? Because the biggest challenge of the year is the Minted holiday card competition and it's been in full swing for the past couple of weeks. It's the biggest challenge with over 2,000 submissions. Luckily, they already had a round of voting to narrow them down a bit. Anyone who loves pretty paper, will love browsing through these designs, so if that's you, and you want to help Minted choose which designs they will sell, head on over and vote for a few (or all 1,170). Below are my submissions for this year's collection: Believe, Ombre, Merriest, Garland, Merry Merry, Bright and Holiday Classic.

Happy Holidays Voting!Photobucket
