How do I fold the card?

Folded in four (the default), the sheet becomes a card about a quarter of the page: fold it across with the print outside, then in half down the middle. Folded in half makes a bigger card from one fold.

Can kids colour it in?

Yes — choose outlines and the balloons, cake and lettering print as line drawings to colour, a nice handmade card from a child.

Do I need special paper?

Plain printer paper works; thicker paper or light card (160–200 g/m²) feels more like a real card and folds crisply.

Can I change the greeting?

Yes — the front greeting, the name, the message inside and your signature are all yours to type.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The card is made in your browser.
