App Description

The Cards app from Apple lets you create and mail beautifully crafted, real greeting cards personalized with your own text and photos — right from your iPhone or iPod touch, and now from your iPad too. Cards 2.0 takes advantage of the iPad’s additional screen real estate, making it even easier to customize cards with your own photos and text. Just choose one of your photos and with a few taps and swipes, an elegant thank you note or “wish-you-were-here” card is on its way to any mailbox in the world. Choose from dozens of designs, including six new holiday themes, then customize your card with a personal message and photo.  You can even send multiple cards at once by selecting up to 12 recipients, personalizing each card, and sending them off as a single order to be mailed individually to your friends and family — perfect for the upcoming holidays. 


Custom letterpress cards
• Cards combine a centuries-old letterpress technique with your digital text and photos
• Each card is crafted from 100 percent cotton paper and imprinted with an elegant debossed design 
• Choose from dozens of designs for eight occasions: Holiday, Thank You, Get Well, Baby, Birthday, Love, Travel and Mother’s Day
• Customize the placeholder text for any occasion, such as an anniversary or graduation
• Add up to 3 photos to your card or send one with just text

Location integration 
• If you select one of the Travel designs, your card automatically displays the name of your current location
• Choose a photo with GPS data, and the card shows the name of the place where the photo was taken
