I started with a photo from my camera roll and expected to spend ages fiddling with it, but the whole thing was surprisingly quick. I tried two styles, moved the text a little, wrote the message on the back and added my sister's address. The preview made it really clear what would be printed. She sent me a photo when it arrived and it looked better than it did on my phone.

Personal artwork
You know them. Make a card that shows it.
A favorite pet. A shared adventure. An inside joke. Bring it into the artwork—not just the message.
Turn real moments
into something special.

Maya's friend started from Make a Wish, added a photo of her dachshund and one instruction, and ended up with a birthday card only Maya would get.

No photo needed. One line about how he really is became a birthday card made for him.


“Make her dachshund the birthday baker. Keep this painted style.”
“He treats making coffee like a science experiment.”
Shop by who it's for
More personal than picking a card.
When someone is unwell, a text is easy to scroll past. A postcard stays on the shelf. Start with something that makes them smile: an inside joke, a pet, a favorite place or a photo from a better day, and turn it into gentle artwork, or add it to a design you like. Put your wishes on the back. We print and mail it, so a small lift arrives in their mailbox, not in another notification.

Postcards in the wild
Made one on my phone while waiting for a train. Uploaded a holiday photo, used one of the suggested previews or whatever, changed the headline and then wrote the msg. I liked that I didn't have to create an account before I knew I actually wanted the card. Checkout could be easier.
I used atemplate because I had absolutely 0 design ideas. Swapped in my own picture, changed two words and was done. My friend kept it on her fridge which is probably the best review I can give.
I thought the AI bit would be gimmicky but it gave me a really good looking card! Loved it, and I am anti AI usually… but this was a pretty good use of it I think.
Was happy with the result.
Used it to say “thank you” after a weekend with friendls. I chose the flower design, edited the text. Pretty cool with my own handwriting !!!
Sent a baby card to friends abroad. It arrived in time, thank you!
Life saver to be able to import 20 contacts:D I sent one to all of my friends for Thanksgiving. No idea it it will arrive, yet but I certainly hope so ;)
I sent the same postcard to four people from a trip. Adding the extra addresses was much easier than recreating the card each time. That was good. I wish there were more designs to choose from for trips, tho.
I made a congratulations card for my NIECE. I put her fav toy in there as a reference. HOW DID YOU MAKE HER AN ASTRONAUT?! :D : D :D
I did the entire thing one-handed on my phone while holding a baby, so points for that. Also cool that I could add a video. Didnt do that but will think of a good occasion!
I was skeptical because most personalized-card sites look so cheap, but thought I’ll try this one for its cool designs. Likes the AI stuff as well. Crazy stuff really.
Good to know
Keep it warm and light. Say you're thinking of them, wish them well, and tell them there's no pressure to respond. Avoid advice or comparisons, and try not to ask for updates.
Pick a calm, steady design and keep your words simple and kind. Promising someone they'll be better soon isn't always right, and “I'm thinking of you, and I'm here” is always welcome.
Yes, if you have the hospital's full address, their name and, ideally, the ward. Patients often move or go home, so their home address is usually the safer choice.
Printing takes 2–3 working days, then it goes in the post. Typical arrival after you order: United Kingdom 4–8 working days, Germany 6–10 working days, Sweden 6–10 working days, United States 9–13 working days. Other countries: it depends on the local post. We can't promise a specific day, so send it soon.
Yes. Add a video message they can open by scanning a QR code. A short hello from family or friends can lift someone's day. Videos can be up to 60 seconds. Any extra cost is shown before you pay.
Designing the card is free. You only pay for printing and postage, per card, and you see the price before you pay. Sending more cards in one order can lower the price per card.
