One Of A Kind Christmas Cards (a peek at our family's card)

While I was not compensated for this post, it does contain affiliate links.

I wanted to try something new this year for our family's Christmas cards. When I saw Minted's Completely Custom Holiday Cards, where we could turn our child's drawing into the cover of our card, I was in!


Here is our 6-year-old Lincoln's original drawing of the three wise men. 

Be still my heart.


I simply took a picture of his drawing and uploaded it to Minted's site.

And here is Lincoln's drawing after Minted applied the gold foil!


Not only do I think the sweet drawing will bring a smile to family and friends, but I plan on keeping a card as art to display at Christmastime for years to come!


The inside of the card can fit up to nine photos and a personal message.

Do you have a little artist in your life who would love to design your Completely Custom Holiday Cards?! (They'll be so proud. :)

Or, maybe you'd like to give a framed gold foil drawing as a gift... that's an option too!

 Hope you have a great weekend!

The one you kept and framed is lovely :) I'm sure some of your creativeness will come out of those boy's with you as their mom. My son who is a senior , can draw anything, has been since age 3.

    1. Thanks Kelly! ;) Yes, he is proud. He actually won a Minted "little artist" contest, so we received these cards for free! Such a blessing and a fun award for him. Have a great weekend!

  7. Oh Julie, this is the most cherished Clhrismas card ever, in fact I bet you could have printed them up and sold them...the little artist, (Lincoln) must be so happy that his mom has proudly used his art for A Christmas greeting. His art reminds me of outsider art, when an artist creates art and they don't even know how artistic they really are.

    I so want to do this, I need to see if I have some xhild art here that would be fitting for a Christmas card.
    I just hope I have the time to pull this one off.

    Tell Lincoln I would love getting one of his art pieces in the mail.

    Happy Holidays, a very Merry Christmas.

    Xx
