I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I LOVE Christmas cards that serve a dual purpose. These newlywed Christmas cards do just that – use them as a wedding announcement or to commemorate your first Christmas as a married couple. (They’re also a great way to share some of your gorgeous wedding photos!) If you’ve never sent Christmas cards before, I love the idea of starting the tradition on your first married Christmas.
New Mr. and Mrs. is New Year’s save the date card that would also work great as a wedding announcement! Available exclusively at Minted

Think of the person on your Christmas shopping list that you dread shopping for. You know who it is: maybe they have everything, or they’re incredibly picky, or you just want to give them something other than your standard “candle and a bottle of wine” gift. Now raise your hand if you could cross this person off your shopping right now.
Then this is for you! A custom return address stamp is the perfect gift for hard-to-shop-for people on your list. The recipient will appreciate such a thoughtful and personal gift.

These foil pressed Christmas invitations are sure to get your guests in the holiday spirit! Featuring a foil stamped design in your choice of silver, rose gold, copper, red, or gold foil, these ready to order party invitations are the perfect way to invite family and friends to your annual Christmas party or a corporate holiday event.
Just like my collection of foil pressed Christmas cards, while these invitations feature real foil stamping the price tag is smaller and the turn around time is shorter than custom foil stamping.

Since having kids, I take a lot of photos. I mean A LOT. So naturally, I like to share those photos, and what better way than on a Christmas card! While I still love a gorgeous full bleed photo card with a simple “Merry Christmas” greeting, I’ve found myself gravitating towards Christmas card layouts with space for lots of photos. My 2017 holiday collection has a huge variety of multi photo designs – photo gallery layouts with space for lots of your square Instagram photos, simple designs with three photos, and festive photo collage Christmas cards. All perfect for sharing lots of photos of you and your kids! And if multiple photos on the front isn’t enough, I also offer a variety of backer layouts where you can add even more
Joyful Border is probably my favorite multi photo card in the collection. Featuring a real foil pressed border and 10 photos, what more could you ask for? Available exclusively at Banter & Charm

Foil pressed Christmas cards are gorgeous, there is no denying that. But custom foil stamping comes with a higher price tag than most people like to pay for their Christmas cards. And it takes longer too (and let’s face it, you generally don’t have weeks and weeks to wait for your holiday cards). Those two issues are exactly the reason I’m offering a ready made foil Christmas card collection this year! These ready to order designs feature real pressed foil in your choice of gold, silver, rose gold, copper, or red.

Christmas cards that do double duty are some of my favorite things to design! So today I’m sharing some birth announcement Christmas cards (that could also work as a “Baby’s First Christmas” card) to show off your newborn photos and share details of your little one’s first Christmas.

The Christmas card collection is here!! I can’t wait for you to see the options this year- I’ve added some stunning new designs and you can customize more than ever.
I skipped the custom Christmas card collection through Banter & Charm last year (with a baby due in October, I took the last few months of the year off), and I absolutely missed it! If you follow along on Instagram, you’ve seen some sneak peeks of this year’s holiday collection. I’ll be sharing a few of my favorites here on the blog over the next few weeks, and you can check it all out in Banter & Charm’s Christmas Shop…
It’s that time of year – at least if you’re a stationery designer! While everyone else was dreaming of spring, the past few months I’ve been listening to holiday music and watching Christmas movies, trying to get in a festive spirit.
