Download It! Creatacard™ iPad App from American Greetings

Have Your Child Design a Card for Grandparents Day, Birthdays or Any Occasion

August 28, 2014
I don't know about you, but I always struggle to find just the right greeting card for family members - especially for cards that are supposed to be from the kids! Wouldn't it be better if your child could send a personalized card - and if you didn't have to go to the store for supplies, or even for a postage stamp? Well if you own an iPad, this dream is now a reality!

The brand new, first-of-its-kind Creatacard™ app exclusively for iPad is more than just a card app. Creatacard inspires kids to express their creativity with an impressive and easy-to-use array of realistic tools like crayons, paint, stickers, stamps and chalk in a rainbow of colors and styles, and parents will absolutely love the authentic “homemade” card without the mess!  Kids can even add their own photos from their iPad photo library and enhance them with fantastic frames.

Your child's experience is enhanced with the “Made By” spot to sign on the back of each card and the app shares positive and encouraging sentiments about their completed artwork. 

Once the masterpiece is finished, the next step is to have your card printed as a real paper greeting card and mailed for you - anywhere in the world! The cost - $3.49. Probably less than what you spend on most store-bought cards, especially when you consider adding postage. And don't worry - the app features some security steps so that your children can't purchase and send cards without your consent!

Last week was Jack's birthday, so we had fun with the app and Drew created a birthday card for his brother. We didn't have time to have this one printed and mailed, but we're working on some for their grandparents now! (Grandparents Day is Sept. 7th - but you must order quickly if you want your card to get there in time.)

At Jack's birthday party, we showed the app off to his friends (and their parents), and gave them the opportunity to create a birthday card for Jack which he could view on the spot! This is such a great concept. I'm certain we'll be using it for all our special occasion cards moving forward - what a wonderful keepsake for the recipient! 

For more fun, once printed, you can also track the card's journey from its creation at the American Greetings factory all the way through the post office and delivery with the "Where's My Card?" feature.

Get the free Creatacard app for iPad now in the iTunes App Store, and be on the lookout for the upcoming Pick-A-Card option with a wide variety of card templates featuring your child’s favorite characters like Strawberry Shortcake™, Thomas the Tank Engine, Hello Kitty® and more!
