American Greetings Creatacard IPad App

Live Product Review - Sponsored Post

We are big fans of making our own birthday and get well cards.

We invited 10 moms and 17 kids to check out the new Creatacard™ app exclusively for iPad by American Greetings



This app is free to download from the iTunes app store and very simple to use. Kids and adults alike can make personalized and creative greeting cards that are professionally printed and mailed. There are two starting options - to create a card from scratch or to use one of the Creatacard templates.  Tools include realistic crayons, paint, colored pencils, stickers, stamps and more, all available in a rainbow of colors.



If you ever watched your kid create a paper card only to crumple it up and start over, you will love the undo and eraser features. Your little perfectionist won't waste any paper getting his masterpiece exactly how he wants.

There is also one of my favorite features of adding your own photographs and then personalizing with different frames.  After completing a card there is a spot on the back to say "Made by ____."  Grandparents will flip over seeing your child's name in print. 

Kids need an adults permission to download photos and to order/mail the printed card. A card costs only $3.49 and is mailed to your loved one anywhere in the world. 

I couldn't believe how long the kids sat still and created cards. The options are really endless.  One mom stated "I stood in the store looking for the perfect card for my 13 year old and couldn't find one...and they all cost more than this." 

My daughter and her friend sat and made a card with customized cover and two inside panels for a favorite teacher at school. Their teacher is going to get a huge smile on her face when her "You Rock" card arrives.

Download free Creatacard™ app exclusively for iPad by American Greetings today and get some cards created and in the mail for Grandparents Day (September 7th).
