Cute critters AND copper foil? Love it!

November 17, 2015 // kristen // 0 replies

Foil stamping is still one of the hottest trends around (woot, woot!), and it lends itself perfectly to holiday photo cards, which shimmer and shine with classic gold and silver, as well as a new favorite : copper / rose gold. And who knows? If the holographic foil trend takes off in 2016 like copper did in 2015, we may be seeing lots of lovely, holographic foil stamped photo cards next season. A girl can wish, right?

Here are some of my absolute favorite foil stamped holiday photo cards from the Minted holiday collection and, believe me, there were SO many beautiful designs to choose from. Head on over and check out all of ’em!
