NO PHOTO, NO PROBLEM
At Minted, we celebrate independent artists by showcasing their imaginative creations to a global audience. Our collection of no photo Christmas cards demonstrates how crowdsourcing artistic talent can create a marketplace offering unique Christmas cards online. Personalize each design with custom color schemes, greetings, and other elements to transform your non-photo holiday & Christmas cards into true works of art.
Minted's selection of personalized Christmas cards with no photo is regularly updated to ensure fresh, original designs. Each card is uniquely crafted by an artist from our independent designer community. Through online design challenges, artists compete for the opportunity to have their designs featured on our site. A portion of each card's profits goes directly to the contributing artist. When it comes to Christmas cards, no photo means hassle-free for you and a boost for artistry!
3 REASONS TO SEND NON-PHOTO HOLIDAY CARDS
1. Stand Out from the Crowd: Break tradition with an artistic no photo Christmas card. Browse our online selection of beautiful Christmas card designs. From illustrations to word art, geometric patterns to abstract designs, our non-photo holiday cards offer a unique way to spread cheer. Let's explore some of the artistic designs you might want to consider:
- Hand-drawn/painted: Browse through beautiful hand-drawn designs featuring colorful presents strapped to a bicycle, reindeer under a full moon, or puppies in Christmas sweaters. From cute designs to funny images and quotes, you can't help but smile as you scan through all our submissions.
- Word art: Be wowed by the way words like "Joy", "Noel", and "Merry" are displayed prominently on a card. Whether new font stylings are created or new color combinations are paired together, stylish word displays can be quite mesmerizing.
- Geometric: There's something very pleasing to the eye about simple shapes arranged in geometric patterns. Think about how the Olympic rings are merely a collection of five circles arranged in a pattern. Discover how our independent artists creatively use squares, lines, circles, and triangles to design inspiring non-photo holiday cards with contemporary flair.
- Abstract: They say art and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. Find the beauty in some of our non-photo designs that feature brush strokes in various colors or collections of asymmetrical shapes arranged on a colorful background.
Whether you're looking for an art-forward Christmas card, holiday card, or New Year's card, we have plenty of options to set you on the right path!
2. Create a Cohesive Holiday Set: We make it easy to create a matching holiday set. Write messages on the back of the card, add envelope liners and recipient address labels that follow your card's design. While you might think this coordinated professional look can sometimes be more difficult to execute when the card itself is mostly an image, this is not the case with Minted’s Christmas cards with no photo collection. Achieve a polished and harmonious presentation that's both stylish and memorable with non-photo holiday cards.
3. Maintain Privacy: For those who prefer to keep their personal lives private, no photo Christmas cards offer a stylish alternative. They're also ideal for mixed recipient lists of family, friends, and business contacts. Choose an elegant design for the front and optionally add subtle images on the back. With Minted's non-photo holiday cards, we take these concerns out of the equation. Pick a stylish design for the front of your card and then you can always add a more subtle image or two on the back of the card if you prefer.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR NON-PHOTO CHRISTMAS CARDS
Choose Colors: Preview various color arrangements for each design. Maybe instead of a red sleigh on a white background, you'd like to see a brown sleigh on a green background. Quickly view the color options in our preview plane and see how the overall look of the card changes. Customize text colors and add metallic foil for extra sparkle. The back of the card can be customized to have a solid color or display a matching artistic pattern.
Select Size and Shape: Choose from postcard, petite, or classic sizes, with options for flat or fold-over layouts. Our cards come in numerous sizes:
- Postcard: No need to include an envelope. These 4.25" x 6" flat cards are designed to have an address area on the back along with an area for a stamp to adhere to.
- Petite: While still the same size as the postcard (4.25" x 6"), our petite cards are intended to be placed in an envelope for sending. This allows you to add custom images and features to the back of the card design if you like.
- Classic: Our traditional 5" x 7" card guarantees that your card will dominate the Christmas mantle in size and style. You can opt for a flat card or a fold-over layout which then provides even extra room for detailed family updates.
Unique border patterns like scalloped, curved, or bubbled edges add extra flair. Each shape can really give your card a new look to help differentiate it from any other holiday cards your friends and family may receive in the mail this year.
Edit Text: Personalize greetings, add your family name, and include custom messages. Easily change the primary greeting on your holiday card design. Perhaps you prefer "Seasons Greetings" to "Happy Holidays." You can also add in your family name to give the card a more personalized look. Opt to have a standard message printed on the inside or backside of the card. Adjust text color, length, font, and size to match your vision. You might want to include a line or two in your holiday message as to why you selected the card design you did!
Add Special Elements: Enhance your card with foil press or pearl gloss printing. Consider custom foil text or skinny-wrap address labels for additional personalization. If you're looking for a final "wow" factor for your card, we have a couple of ideas for you:
- Foil Press: Some designs feature shiny foil press elements. You can search for these designs by looking for the "real foil, see it shine" banner under each card design. Minted also allows you to add custom foil text to almost all of our card designs. Some customers choose to have their family name printed in gold or silver foil over one of our beautiful non-photo designs, to give the holiday card a little extra character.
- Pearl Gloss: Give the entire card a glossy shine with this new printing technique exclusively offered through Minted. Look for "real gloss, see it shine" tags on select card designs.
- Skinny-wrap Address Labels: Add some stylish flair to your envelope with custom 7.25" x 0.625" labels that wrap around your envelope to seal it closed, while also displaying your sender address. The labels are printed in a variety of patterns and colors that can match your holiday card.
