pinette-garthwait christmas cards 2025
This was a personal holiday stationery project created for our first official Christmas cards as a family.
Designed for Christmas 2025, the suite combined celebration, memory, and intentional design into a cohesive printed piece. The cards were professionally printed through Printswell, with additional custom envelope details to complete the experience.
the design
The design direction focused on a non-traditional holiday palette that still felt seasonal. Instead of classic reds and golds, I chose a blue and green color story to create something a bit more elevated.
The final card was a double-sided keepsake. The front features a family photo of my husband, our dog, and myself, with a blue border and script text matching my blue dress. The back features a tribute to my brother, who we lost in March 2025.
To extend the design beyond the card itself, I also created custom green striped envelope liners and coordinated, addressed envelopes for a professional and polished presentation.
