One of my favorite traditions every year at Christmas time is designing our Christmas cards. One of Kurt’s aunts is a photographer so, of course she is all about taking a ton of photo’s. One year at Thanksgiving she made up a mock Christmas card of us and it turned out so beautiful! Ever since that year, we have been sending them out (at least eight years!). We typically have her snap a picture of us at Thanksgiving, but this year we decided to do an actual ‘shoot’ with the whole family. Ok, maybe not the whole family. The kittens didn’t make the cut this year because we really wanted some pictures down by the riverwalk and cats outside just doesn’t work lol!
For our 2017 Christmas card, we worked with Sarah who I met thru a friend. And OMG she is amazing!!!! I can’t believe how beautiful our photos turned out this year! Wouldn’t you agree? I can’t wait to print some pictures and get them framed for our apartment!
Basic Invite reached out to me this year to partner with them on designing our holiday cards thru their site. And after scanning their holiday section, I was super impressed. They have over 250 personalized holiday cards. I love so many of their designs that it was tough for me to choose!
My favorite part about creating my cards was every last bit is customizable. They have over 180 different color options so you can choose the perfect colors to match your photo. And once you change the colors you see a preview instantly. I spent hours playing around with all of the different color combos!
In the end, I choose the Leaves & Berries Photo Christmas Card, but decided to go with deeper colors to make it pop more. I love that my cards will be unique and no one else will have the same design as me! Basic Invite made my holiday cards easy to design, even for a beginner like me. Proofing, shipping and the quality are impeccable!! I’m so excited for my friends and family to receive our Christmas cards this year! So here it is- the big reveal of our 2017 Christmas card!!!!!
