Foil Holiday Cards from Minted – and a Giveaway!

I’m getting ready to start my annual holiday card round up next week, but in the meantime I couldn’t resist sharing a few more of the beautiful new foil holiday cards from Minted! I’m already on the record as loving a healthy dose of sparkle during the holidays, and I love that Minted works with independent designers around the world – including a few familiar faces around here like Moglea, The Social Type, Linda & Harriett, and many more! I included one of the new cards in my personalized holiday card round up a couple of weeks ago, so you’ve already seen a tiny peek at the new collection. Here are a few more favorites from the Minted foil holiday card collection!

Huilin + Martin’s Gold Foil Boarding Pass Wedding Invitations

After years working as a freelance designer, Huilin Dai finally had the chance to design for herself: invitations for her upcoming wedding! Inspired by a recent move to San Diego, California and a love of travel, Huilin drew design inspiration from an airplane boarding pass. The invitation suite was letterpress printed by Mama’s Sauce in seafoam green and gold foil, then finished with seafoam edge painting!

From Huilin: After working as a freelance designer for many projects, I was excited to have an opportunity to design my own wedding invitations! Our invitation was inspired by a plane ticket for two reasons. First, we both love traveling, so we would like to have a travel theme goes along our wedding. Second, we both moved to San Diego and are getting married here – most of our guests will fly into town without knowing each other.

We thought it would be a fun idea to give them a “plane ticket.” The ticket was created in two parts: the invitation and a perforated RSVP that can be torn off and mailed back to us, just like the boarding ticket! I also created a set of 4″ x 4″ coasters that will also be used as escort cards for the reception.

The invitations and coasters were printed by Mama’s Sauce – they were so nice and willing to do what I asked for. The invitations were printed in three colors: gold foil, seafoam, and blind, with edge paint in seafoam. The detail on finished product was incredible, and I was so glad I found them!

Thank you all so much, for stopping by every day and sharing your enthusiasm through comments, pins, tweets, and emails!

So beautiful!

From Lindsay: I designed this suite for my younger sister Anna and her high school sweetheart, Max. This wedding has been a long time coming for our families and friends, as we have all been on this journey together since they fell in love at 16 years old. We could hardly wait for them to make it official!

Throughout the wedding planning, it was really important to Anna and Max to stay true to who they are. They didn’t want anything too lavish or over the top: just simple, clean and beautiful. They chose to be married in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon at the historic Benson Hotel, and picked a color palette of gold, black, and blush pink.

There was a subtle roaring 1920s feel to the event. I incorporated gold foil on the invitation along with black and gold damask paper accents. Angelique Ink calligraphed their names and phrases for the inserts in her perfect Vintage Reserve style, and I kept the rest of the design and text simple and classic.
