  2. 2

    Choose your foil

    Turn the fine details, the shadows or a single color into foil, add a foil border, and pick the metal and the paper.

  3. 3

    Write it and send it

    Write your note inside, sign it, and make a link. Share it anywhere: they tap the card to open it.

Start from a design

Every design has its own foil, paper and a little motif that repeats inside and on the back. Tap one to make it yours.

    Tap to open it. Your note is waiting inside, and the back has its own little foil mark.

  • Six foils, eleven papers

    Gold, silver, rose gold, copper, pearl and holographic, on stocks from cotton white to kraft, sage and hot pink.

How long does a card link last?

Each link stays open for 90 days, then the card and its pictures are deleted automatically.

Can I delete a card after sending it?

Pictures with clear shapes and contrast: illustrations, flowers, pets, line art or a portrait against a plain background. You can choose whether the details, the shadows or one color turns to foil.
