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.”
More personal than picking a card.
When you owe someone an apology, the card is only a place to start. Choose artwork that feels like them, perhaps a familiar place or something you both care about, and use the back to take responsibility without excuses. We print and mail the postcard, so your words reach them in a thoughtful, tangible way. Give them time to respond in their own way.

Message ideas for Sorry & Apology Cards
“I'm sorry I hurt you. I should have listened, and I'm working on that.”
“I was wrong, and I understand why it upset you. I'm sorry.”
“You deserved more care from me. I'm sorry, and I'll give you space.”
“I miss you, but I know an apology doesn't ask you to move on. I'm sorry.”
“I want to make this right when you're ready. No need to answer now.”

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
Name what you did, acknowledge its effect, and say you're sorry without explaining it away. Don't ask them to forgive you or make them responsible for comforting you. Then show through your actions that you mean it.
It can be. A card lets them read your words in their own time, without having to answer right away. For something serious, it can open the door to a real conversation.
It can be read on the way, so keep the details private and the words simple. It's printed on thick matte card and mailed as a postcard, without an envelope. Your preview uses US postcard (6 × 4 inches). We fit your design to the print size used for the recipient’s destination automatically.
Yes, and your own handwriting can make it feel more sincere. Your message is printed on the back. Type it, or write it on paper and add a photo of the note to print it in your own handwriting.
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.
