Macaroni Reviews - Creatacard Card Maker By American Greetings

As a busy mom, I am terrible at sending out greeting cards.  I never time them right, send them too late or I buy the card and it sits on my counter because I ran out of stamps and havn't picked them up yet.  I have my mother's Christmas Card from last year sitting in my file cabinet so I can send it to her this year.  This is pretty sad.

When I was able to review this new app by American Greetings, I was thrilled.   Creatacard Card Maker is a free kid friendly app on iTunes that allows children (or adults) to create fun custom cards.  The children can use  pre-programed "stickers," digital crayons, paint brushes, and borders to create their own card.  There is also an option that allows you to import a photo into your card as well.  

My little one was on the iPad for about twenty minutes before she announced that she was finished with her creation.   I had set her up and headed over to load up some laundry and by the time I came back to help her, she was already well on her way.  She was able to manipulate the app easily on her own and was thrilled with her creation.  She hit save and then called me.  

Within five minutes my card was ordered and being sent to my requested destination.  The cost to print out and mail your creation is $3.49, plus the cost of a stamp.  When my mother received her card, she was thrilled with not only my daughters creativity but also with the quality of the paper that the card was printed on.  Such an easy way to brighten my mom's day without having the leave my home.   

My daughter was super excited to use the "Where's My Card" option and track where exactly her card was.  Once she saw that It had made it to her grandmother, she was so excited to give her a call and see what she thought.  This whole experience was plenty of fun!  We are going to make another one for Grandparents Day!  (Only a week away)
