If you are the sort of person who sends cards for every occasion, from birthdays to anniversaries to graduations, then you will love the unique e-greeting cards we are going to talk about. Egreetings took over the market of paper cards quite a few years ago. In this era of e-greeting cards, it is rare to get a paper greeting card. And with the holiday season, it becomes very expensive to send everyone a personalized paper greeting card. So, the answer to this is sending egreeting cards, which are fun, quick, and free! But if you are the kind who does not mind spending and paying for them, then you can send unique egreeting cards to your near and dear ones. There are a whole variety of egreeting cards that you can choose from, such as cards with personalized sonnets, karaoke cards, snow globes and so on.
Karaoke cards
If you like to sing, and love to make people listen to your voice, then you will enjoy the karaoke cards. You can record a message or sing a song and personalize your greeting card with it. CrazyTalk, the software developed by Real Allusion, allows you to take head shots and animate them with your audio clipping. Imagine singing Christmas carols to your Grandmother in a greeting card! You can download the CrazyTalk software for $40, or use the free trial version before downloading it.
Virtual or Real?
Remember those cards that promised a gift certificate or cash inside? If you are the kind who loves sending these kinds of cards to people, then sending a virtual present is a great idea. There are a whole variety of fake gifts that you can send such as pets or vacation gift vouchers. All you need to do is put in the name of the recipient, along with the e-mail address, and a note to personalize it. Of course your recipients will not be very pleased or overjoyed with your virtual presents, but that is the fun, isnt it!
Sweet nothings for you
Ever wanted to whisper sweet nothings to your sweetheart, but could not find the words for it? Or perhaps you always wanted to impress your spouse with a poem, but writing was not ever your forte; then this is where Lincoln Spector can help you. He is the owner of the website Sonnets4u. He crafts personalized 14-line sonnets or odes to your loved one according to the descriptions you give him via e-mail. It will cost you just $35 per sonnet, which is nothing compared to the love and gratitude you will get for the e-greeting you sends.
Charity- the best gift
Instead of giving some one a gift or sending them a greeting card, you can make a donation to a charity in their name. They will be sent an email stating that a charity has been made in their name. There is a list of more than 850,000 charities on the web that you can choose from.
If none of these appeals to you, you can always send one of the regular free e-greeting cards, or virtual snow globes, or even fortune cookies to your friends. And if you have basic computer skills, you can even create your own e-greeting. A lot of sites offer this facility, one of them being Uniquegreetings.
First, you can make a whole library of cards specific for any reason.
Secondly, instead of buying a box set of twenty Christmas cards that have only five different designs in them, with a digital photo set you can have a limitless amount of designs to choose from.
In third, the type of greeting card you send is only limited by your imagination. And the beauty if it is in its simplicity ? all you need is a digital camera and a computer.
Ok, let's talk about creating personalized Christmas cards from scratch.
Though this is a time consuming activity and it also requires a bit of creativity, don't worry if you are not the artist you wish you were.
The attempt to create something on your own will send the right message across and your hard work and dedication will be much appreciated.
To make your own personalized Christmas cards, you can use materials you probably already have on hand.
For example, use the scraps of left over wrapping paper. How you use it depends on the design of the paper. Pictures can be cut from it and used to form a montage. Or strips can be used to trim the border of a card.
Again, the true beauty of Christmas photo cards lie in the fact that it's not just you that will enjoy the creative process, but your whole family too.
Whether it's a family portrait for a beloved grandparent who lives far from you, or a cute picture of your dog wearing a Santa hat, professional-looking personalized Christmas cards are simply a photo away.
If you have children, get them involved and help them create Christmas photo cards with a scene from their favorite Christmas film.
For example, you can use something like 'Mickey's Christmas Carol'.
With a little patience and instruction, your child can be superimposed onto Mickey's body, and be stood next to Goofy or another Disney character. Then you can turn it into personalized Christmas cards and let them send to their friends for a truly unique Christmas wish.
They're so easy to make as well.
Another benefits of personalized Christmas cards is that you can promote your business with these cards (as marketing material) during the season of a year.
There are lots of ways to make your business Christmas cards stand out from the ones your clients will be receiving. One way to do this is the shape of the card itself.
It's not much more expensive to get cards in shapes related to your business or service.
If you work with music, think of how cute a card shaped like a guitar or violin would be. If you are in construction, what about holiday greeting cards inscribed on a shiny paper wrench? The possibilites are endless!
