Happy Monday! $200 Minted Giveaway

Happy Monday friends! Hope you had a great weekend. This one flew by so fast but don’t they usually? To help you get over the Monday morning blues, I have awesome news for you.

Have you heard of Minted? Over the years, I would see Minted giveaways on US blogs and the cool holiday cards or invites that bloggers posted. They just recently started shipping to Canada – yay for us!

They are an online shop of paper goods including cards, invitations, party decor, stationery and art prints. What is really cool about them, is that the designs are by indie designers all over the world who submit their work and are then chosen to have their design featured. How cool is that? You can read more about that here.

I’m guessing that their holiday photo cards are their biggest seller. With over 600 designs like these, you can see why. I had a hard time choosing one – they are all so unique and beautiful.  I love receiving holiday photo cards, don’t you?  They always end up in our photo albums – you can’t throw them away.

I am loving their foil stamped holiday cards and just may choose one of these as my holiday card this year. They are hand pressed with real gold and silver foil. So beautiful!

They also offer holiday ornament cards.

If one of your goals is to get art on your walls, then Minted has got you covered.

This one is so pretty:

I have partnered with Minted to offer two lucky readers $200 each to use towards anything on the Minted site.  This includes holiday cards, invitations, art prints, customizable wrapping paper and so much more.
