The Cards app from Apple lets you create and send beautifully crafted, real greetings cards personalised with your own text and photos — straight from your iPhone or iPod touch, and now from your iPad too. Cards 2.0 takes advantage of the iPad’s additional screen real estate, making it even easier to customise cards with your own photos and text. Just choose one of your photos and with a few taps and swipes, an elegant thank-you note or wish-you-were-here card is on its way to any letterbox in the world. Choose from dozens of designs, including six new Christmas themes, then customise your card with a personal message and photo. You can even send multiple cards at once by selecting up to 12 recipients, personalising each card, and sending them off as a single order to be posted individually to your friends and family — perfect for the upcoming festive period.  

Custom letterpress cards
• Cards combine a centuries-old letterpress technique with your digital text and photos
• Each card is crafted from 100 per cent cotton paper and imprinted with an elegant debossed design

• Add up to three photos to your card or send one with just text
