Minted Christmas Card Deal! Featuring New All in One Cards with Free Addressing Both Ways ♥

27 November 2018

Minted is having their Cyber Monday sale right now – this is the best I’ve seen it! You get 25% off, free shipping, AND a $30 Minted gift card for future use!! You know I love Minted them and have been using them almost since my blog began! They consistently come up with the most beautiful, quality designs and it’s no secret that my favorite is the free addressing they offer. I cannot wait to show you what they have come out with this year: All in One Cards! They are very affordable and come with complimentary address printing on the front AND back. Here is ours this year – we did the Photo Tree All in One.

Click here to see the other All in One Cards – they are beautiful!

They fold together and feature a tear-off bottom section so that they can save your picture, a quote, a recipe, anything you choose to put down there. I also love these because you don’t have to write a separate letter – you can just add little updates on your family without writing an essay. And did I mention they include FREE recipient addressing and return addressing??

One of the questions I had was the difference between the standard cover and the value cover. The Standard is more creamy and a bit heavier (on the left) and the value is more smooth and a brighter white. The standard is lovely but the value is still quality and I honestly thought they were the standard when I opened them and was looking for the value! I would save the $25 and go value.

Another question was: how do they work without envelopes? Well, Minted sends you clear stickers and you put them along both edges and at the corner of the flap and that’s it! Add a stamp on the other side and since your addressing is already done, it will be your simplest Christmas cards yet.

The classic photo cards are still every bit as gorgeous and the address designs this year are so amazing! These are the Very Merry Year Cards – we chose these because we didn’t take formal family pictures so I just put together a bunch from throughout the year. I also died with that sweet deer on the envelope for the free recipient addressing and it truly is artwork on the envelope! You just upload your addresses and they will make magic with them. Click here to see all of the beautiful designs!

Another tip – the silver envelopes are only $4 more and they have a beautiful pearl-like sheen. I thought that was worth it.

So get over there and order them – you can pay today on the amazing deal and then personalize pictures and writing later -- just keep clicking through until you get to the Preview page and see this:

Here is more info on Buy Now, Personalize Later – the only thing that is not changeable is the card design you choose.

Choose the Buy now, personalize later and your transaction could look something like this when you use code CM2018:

$66.75 for 75 cards pictures, updates of your family AND with beautiful address shipping both ways! All that you have to do is seal them with the stickers and add a stamp! Hurry before the deal is over – the hardest part is choosing which beautiful design. Have fun!
