The Perfect Holiday Card

There is something special about selecting the perfect holiday card. Some families plan their pictures months in advance. While others like my own family just wing it. The extensive time and energy that goes into creating the perfect outfits can be overwhelming. Trying to get every member of your family to coordinate with a specific color and theme can sound like an unattainable task. Bottom line making sure that everyone is perfectly matching can be such a task. It does not just start or stop there.

The perfect card is the finishing touch to make your family holiday card memorable. I have to be honest, I can spend hours searching through multiple websites trying to find the perfect holiday card for my family. There are just so many options. You have to decide which color you want the card to be or if you are selecting a pattern. Then there are all the fancy options like the card stock. You must go through the thinking process of choosing what kind of edge you want your card to have straight, round, or spiral. What size do you want the card to be? How many pictures you will choose. Will you have glitter to make the card pop? Just when you thought the finish line was near. You then need to decide if your envelopes will have a lining, will they be plain, colorful, or have patterns. You can even have the company pre-address your cards for you or you can go through the process of creating a matching address label or creating something new.

This process can take me days of searching and designing. After narrowing down the options and selecting my top five. Then I send them to my hubby who thinks this entire takes five minutes. Not. Of course, he will then put in his two cents in and help me select our final option that turns into our fantastic Holiday card.

Since I began sending out family holiday cards I have always used Tiny Prints as the card company of choice. I have searched so many companies but always end up using Tiny Prints. They have many amazing options to choose from. You can customize much more than in other companies and there are options for all of your needs.

They say flowers, allow your home and life to bloom with new things. Here is a quick DIY with a little St. Patrick’s Day theme.

1. I prepare my flowers by cutting the bottom tips and remove the leaves.
2. I then create a mock sample of what I want the flower bouquet to look like, I remove it, and save it on the side.
3. I chose to use General Mills Lucky Charms for this arrangement.
4. I place plastic wrap on the top of the small vase to help pour the lucky charms only into the large vase.
5. Once I completed pouring the lucky charms into the large vase, I then place my premade bouquet into the base and add water and flower food.
6. I then arrange the flowers with a bit of love, and then they’re all set.
