Freshly Minted

It's late October...time to start talking holiday cards! One of the first sites I always look at is Minted, a company which just launched in 2008 but already has taken the stationery world by storm with its luxe paper and fresh, modern styles by indie designers who compete to have their stationery featured. This holiday season, Minted introduces over 200 new Christmas cards and holiday cards. Here are a few of my favorites (please note that each is available in several colors and the text can be adapted, too):

Note: Each of these cards starts as low as $1.51 per card. But check out the "extras" you might want to add on, like "backers", liners, skinny wrap-around address labels, or "yearline" fold-out designs. They're pretty cool. When you click on the link for each card, you'll see how each option and finished "package" could look.

p.s. While you're at Minted, check out one of their newest products, a line of photo calendars which will launch on November 1st. It seems that almost every stationery company is introducing its own photo calendar- these look like stand-outs, though.
