Card Maker FAQ

What size cards can I create with the online card maker?

Our card maker supports three standard size options—easy for printing at home or a professional print shop.

• Portrait: 5x7 inches - the most common and popular size
• Landscape: 7x5 inches
• Square: 5x5 inches

Are the cards folded or flat?

We offer options for both! You can select your preferred layout and other filters in the navigation on our card category pages.

Flat cards are single-sided designs that work well as a saved image to share on social media or through messaging apps. Our folded cards feature the classic two-sided layout and work best for printing at home or for sharing as an eCard animation via email or a dedicated link.

What should I write in my custom greeting card?

You can write something completely custom or click on the Suggested Messages in the card editor for ideas and inspiration to get you started!

We’ve also got resources to help you find the perfect message for any occasion like 100 ways to say happy birthday, best wishes for a happy anniversary, or even perfect quotes for graduation cards.

What kind of paper is best for printing cards at home?

You can use any type of paper to print cards at home using our online card maker. Heavyweight cardstock is the best choice. Typically, 80 lb to 110 lb cardstock provides a sturdy feel and professional look. But 65 lb cardstock and premium printer paper also work well.

Can I save my card design and edit it later?

Yes! All of the templates in our card maker allow you to save a draft as soon as you start customizing. You can even name each draft to keep track of them.

Can I preview my eCard before finalizing it?

You can. Simply click to share your card and you’ll have the ability to view an animated preview of the card your recipient will receive.

If you’re going to print the card instead, clicking on either the Print or Printable PDF options will give you a preview of how your printed card will look on paper.
