Tiny Prints: Beautiful and Unique Holiday Cards Review & $50 Giveaway #TinyPrintsCheer

Several years ago, I stumbled across Tiny Prints and the rest is history! I love their cards and have purchased them every holiday season. We've also bought invitations for birthday parties. Every single time we have been so impressed with the cards and always, always get compliments about them. I can't believe it, but as of today we have 76 days until Christmas. Once again, the seasons have swept past us and December will be here before I know it. This year I am determined not to procrastinate and have already chosen some of my favorite holiday cards.

I think holiday cards should not only be pretty, but should tell a story. We experience so much each and every year that it's hard to share everything with friends and family. Photo holiday cards are the perfect way to share all of those special moments with others. I love that on Tiny Prints you can narrow down your card search by how many photos you would like included on your cards. I always pick 2 different types of cards. The first includes maybe 1-2 photos and is more for friends who live nearby and with whom we communicate often. My top two in this category have to be Frosted Foliage and Sheer Confetti! The first has more subtle colors of silver and grey while the other is bright and merry. When looking at these two cards I noticed something different about photo card options this year on Tiny Prints. You can now choose your own trim options for your cards, which include square, rounded, bracket, ticket & scallop trim! Below is the Sheer Confetti card with a bracket trim.

The new trims definitely add something to the look of the cards and I love the choices! 

The second type of card I like to pick out for the holidays includes 6+ photos and allows me to not only tell friends and family members all about our great year, but to show them through great photos. So much happens in a year and, as a parent, I am constantly snapping photos of the kids. These cards give me a chance to show off my children and the best photos of the year.

When searching for these cards, I also realized all of the new design options available for 2013 on Tiny Prints: Contemporary, Classic, Vintage, Full bleed photos, All That Glitters, Bold Expressions, Simply Chic, Woodland Wonder & The New Tradition. So, if there is a certain style you prefer, you can narrow down your options this way. I choose to narrow my search for this type of card by format. You can choose from flat, folded, postcard, circle or tri-fold cards. My favorites just happen to be the tri-folds because they are larger and allow more space for photos. My top two for this type of card this year are Happy Highlights and Dotted Timeline. Both break out of the traditional holiday card style, offering unique colors and the ability to pinpoint the best parts of your year. Dotted Timeline comes in Tangerine, Wild Strawberry and Hazelnut colors schemes while Happy Highlights is available in Meadow green and Watermelon.

I am pretty sure we will end up purchasing the Happy Highlights tri-fold holiday card in Meadow because I like the colors and I can include 10 photos! Plus, I love the matching address labels and envelope liners for them.

Some people may think picking out holiday cards is a chore, but I have so much fun each year creating a new card for the holidays. I love that Tiny Prints has so many different choices so I can find cards that are unique and fit our personalities. Besides holiday photo cards, did you know there are also several different photo gifts on Tiny Prints that are perfect for the upcoming holidays? I think the personalized iPad cases are just beautiful and would be a perfect gift for my husband while the grandmas in our family would love the photo ornaments!

The photo above is of the Dots and Joy: Bright Red personalized photo ornament! Isn't this adorable?

So, now that you've heard about many of the new holiday photo cards and gifts from Tiny Prints, how about a giveaway?
