masterfully minted

I've mentioned briefly that I am crazy about paper, and I am always on the hunt for new paper retailers. I recently found the stationary site, Minted.com, and I am in love. One of their card designs was noted as being Jenna Lyons, J Crew creative director's, favorite holiday card of 2011. They have independent graphic designers submit their designs and then sell them on the site. It's a really wonderful way for an independent designers to sell their work.

People often ask me about my blog and what the website is, and as I was thinking about ways to better spread the word, I thought..."Why not give them something they can reference it to get to the site...Why not give them a business card?!" So, I immediately headed over to Minted's site, and went searching for the perfect card to fit with my blog's brand.

Low and behold, there was a perfectly classic and simple blue chevron design by Laura Condouris  that I immediately ordered. The proof of the design came within 1.5 days of my order, and was as beautiful as I had dreamed it would be. And 4 days earlier than estimated, they arrived at my door. Minted has perfected their packaging, as well as their graphic design.  The design and quality are beyond my expectations for the price - 75 cards for $42 + shipping. The paper is thick and sturdy, and the printing is right on point with what I would expect with cards that cost twice as much.

Bottom-line: Minted.com is worthy of Jenna Lyon's endorsement and mine! Amazing quality, beautiful designs and wonderful customer service!
