- MINTED’S TOP DESIGNS FOR COUNTRY CHRISTMAS CARDS
FOLK ART
Are you a fan of historical and handcrafted items? Choose a design that is influenced by folk art to give your Christmas card a charming, antique feel. Christmas card designs created by our independent designers are inspired by storybook-style European architecture, illustrated fairy tales, and traditional holiday flowers and animals. Keep the featured photo neutral in any folk-inspired design you choose to let the other parts of the card stand out.
BRIGHT AND PREPPY
By selecting a card with a design as colourful as the Christmas lights that line your block, you can capture all the festive excitement of the season. Bold bursts of pink and lime green are paired with traditional red and blue for a fresh take on the holiday look that is ideal for families with young children. These cards work best with a family photo that is vibrant and full of personality.
HOLLY JOLLY RED
When it comes to holiday cards, red will never go out of style. However, this year, Minted's gifted network of designers gave Santa's favourite hue a modern makeover. Look for cards with unusual uses of red, such as a background that resembles paper snowflakes or a clean, unexpectedly simple frame for a family portrait. Or, go for a card that embraces the holiday spirit by using poinsettias with pop art influences or delicate gold foil accents that evoke gently lighting Christmas lights.
CHRISTMAS TWEED
Warm, woollen plaids, tweeds, and tartans are common in—and they make a stunning focal point for any holiday card. Choose a design with a plaid in the conventional red, green, blue, yellow, and black if you want to project a more rural, mountain vibe. Or, you may choose a style with a formal tweed pattern in rich blues, browns, and burgundies if you want something more elegant.
MASTERPIECE
There are no set standards for Christmas card design, so if the characteristics of conventional holiday cards don't fit your family's character, go in a more creative direction. This year, our designers were free to unleash their creativity as they produced holiday card designs that had a fine art quality. Consider colour blocking with Rothko influences, swashes of colour that evoke the sights and sounds of the season, and whimsical hand-lettered writing that is suggestive of an artist's signature.
SNOW GLOW
Look for cards that don't hold back on vibrant colours and fun designs for a more abstract take on this year's bright and preppy trend. The chaotic — but always entertaining! — energy of the holiday season is well captured in these designs, which also perfectly evoke the sense of a Christmas party or snowball fight in full flow. Additionally, cards with festive sentiments printed in neon script or that frame a precious family photo with a pixelated plaid background are likely to stand out among the pile of country Christmas cards your recipients receive.
DECO LINES
The 1920s and 1930s saw a rise in popularity for the ornamental art form and architectural motif known as "art deco." Bold geometric patterns and lines combined with vivid colours are typical approaches used in this fashion. When coming up with ideas for trendy country Christmas cards this year, pay respect to a design style that has been around for a full century. With striking art-deco lines printed in tones of well-liked festive hues like ruby, berry, or pine green, frame a family Christmas photo.
EXUBERANT BRIGHTS
For unique Christmas card ideas, think outside the box and save the traditional red and green for the envelope. With a flash of colour to give your card a modern flair, brighten a friend or family member's December. Pick a card with various colour combinations surrounding a family portrait, or choose seasonal greetings with each letter or phrase shown in a different eye-catching hue. Choose from a variety of designs and colour schemes as you browse our selection of holiday cards to get your perfect look. Each theme has aesthetically designed complementary pairings for a consistent aesthetic.
ECRU
Ecru is described as the shade of unbleached linen for those who have never heard of it. Consider the off-white hues of beige, taupe, cream, eggshell, and other like colours. Explore some of our best Christmas card designs this year while considering holiday card ideas instead of the more conventional white, green, or red base layer.
