Hey everybody, let’s talk about foil color options on holiday cards today! The holiday season begs for the pretty pizazz of metallic foil, doesn\u2019t it? As you can imagine, the TOG.ink team loves to use specialty print processes on our holiday cards. Blue foil printing tends to be a favorite this time of year, since we\u2019re based in Minnesota. Blue foil has that frosty hue that often comes with the winter season. You can shop all foil products<\/a> to see what’s possible for your next project!<\/p>\n

“We might as well make the most of the cold and celebrate its beauty using glistening foil!” – Shanna, content writer<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Knowing Your Foil Colors<\/h2>\n

We recently updated our Foil Color Options Cheat Sheet<\/a> to include some insider tips on the foil colors themselves. Read up! You\u2019ll appreciate the information when creating your next custom foil piece.<\/p>\n

A Closer Look at Our Foil Holiday Cards<\/h3>\n

Let’s check out what a few of our team member’s chose to do for their past years’ holiday cards. It’s always fun to see how each of us decides to celebrate the season with a touch of personal style.<\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Brittany\u2019s holiday card! You might remember Brittany from a previous post she wrote for us called The Story Behind the Design: T&T Tiling LLC<\/a>. She\u2019s been a graphic designer for The Occasions Group for 15+ years and she also creates some pretty awesome custom print pieces on the side. She grabbed a great selfie of the family for this holiday card, and chose royal blue foil for the Christmas message and snowflake border.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Desiree has been a customer service specialist and project manager with The Occasions Group for 10+ years now. She\u2019s highly detailed, extremely helpful and oh-so-stylish as you can tell from the card! Her holiday card shows digital print in navy accentuated by gold-enhanced foil. The borders around the photos and the personalization are all in shimmering gold. Since enhanced foil is actually a raised foil, it adds a nice feel to the holiday card as well. Take note: enhanced foil is printed on either shimmer or coated stock, so it gives your photos that nice glossy finish.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Shanna has been a content writer for various brands within The Occasions Group for close to 20 years. She\u2019s always got a lot to say\u2014most of the time it\u2019s useful [wink, wink]. Her holiday card is a simple but charming greeting that let\u2019s the foil and the photo do all of the talking! The foil is \u201ccool blue\u201d for that nice frosty look, and the script font pairs beautifully with it. Plus, who doesn\u2019t love a family photo with a furry friend as part of the gang? It all comes together nicely on this minimalist holiday card.<\/p>\n
