The uniqueness in this service lies in the fact that you design the card from the scratch - after all, what's the fun in sending a card someone else made. Let the recepient know 'You really care ! '. This functionality has been added keeping the user interface as simple as possible. But since you might never have used such tools you might have to spend a few minutes to get accustomed.

How do you actually use this stuff...

Making the card - The process of making cards is divided into 7 easy steps. The following sections cover each step in detail. Typically the steps include - i) applying background color, ii) adding recepient's name, iii) adding your name, iv) adding messages, v) adding images, vi) adding music and finally vii) mailing the card.
However, before we cover each of these steps let's examine the tools that we will use.
The navigation system helps you to navigate through steps in creating a card. As we have already discussed the system is divided into 7 steps - each step presenting a feature to add to the card.
The color palette allows you to choose a color or apply your own color. This tool is used in various steps - to set backround color, set font color etc.
Text entry system is present in the steps 2, 3 & 4. It allows you to enter text, edit it etc. The font face, font size, font weight & style can all be set using this tool.
The 'Move Object' tool lets you move your text and images to any place on the canvas. This gives you the power to place images and text wherever you want on the card.
The 'Pointer' lets you identify which object you are moving or editing on the canvas. This pointer appears on the top left corner of the object(text or images) being edited or moved. This is only to provide you an easy way of locating which object is selected for editing. So as you move from step to step the pointer keeps shifting to indicate which object can be edited in that step. Ofcourse if any object has not been entered in that step, the pointer too does not appear.
Now that all the tools have been discussed we can consider each of the steps.....

The 'Color Palette' allows you to apply color to the card. You can also use the 'Background Image Options' to add a background image to the card
You can add upto 4 messages to the card. The 'Message Links' can be used to configure each message
The 'Text Entry System' should be used to enter the messages and set the font. The text color can be set using the 'Color Palette'. The text can be moved using the 'Move Object' tool.
You can add upto 10 images to the card. The 'Image Links' can be used to configure each message
To choose a clip for the image use the list at the bottom of the page - click on a category, then click on the clip of your choice. The 'Preview' can be used to identify which clip has been chosen for the selected image. The image can be resized using the 'Size' drop down menu. The images can be moved using the 'Move Object' tool. At any time you can remove the selected clip by clicking the 'Delete' button.
You can add music by choosing music of your choice from the drop down menu. The selection will take some time to apply. To remove music simply choose "None" in the drop down menu.
