MACARONI KID REVIEWS: THE "CREATACARD" iPAD APP

New Creatacard™ iPad App Brings Your Child’s Imagination to Life in a Card

This week we had fun playing on our Mini iPad and checking our Macaroni Kid's newest sponsor, American Greetings "CreataCard" App.

The brand new, first-of-its-kind Creatacard™ app exclusively for iPad is more than just a card app; it’s a creative laboratory for the budding artist that adds a dash of magic to the act of sending a card by allowing children to express themselves in the most imaginative ways possible.  



This is the first and only app with the ability to breathe life into your child’s creations by bringing their imagination into the real world as a professionally printed greeting card.

There are many things to love about this app. Here are my favorites:
  • It is very intuitive to use but also provides written and spoken prompts to make it even easier to understand and use.
  • It has a wide variety of tools to create whatever type of card you want.  
  • There are many pre made cards you can personalize with little effort.  
Of course the real fun comes from creating your own personal card from scratch.  I turned my 7 year old lose and she loved using the app to make a card.  There is an amazingly wide variety of tools to use to create your masterpiece.  There are three types of paintbrushes, a regular pencil, a crayon, a marker, chalk, and spray paint in a huge choice of colors.  Also you can add stickers from a wide variety of categories and various stamps. You can even take a photo or add one from your library and put one of several frames around it. You can also add text in one of 8 fonts.  My daughter had a blast with this app and made a beautiful card.  

Once you have created your card you can have them print it and send it anywhere for $3.49 plus postage.  This is a great and convenient way to send a personalized card to friends and family who live far away.  

Get the free Creatacard app for iPad now in the iTunes App Store, and don’t forget to look for the upcoming Pick-A-Card option with a wide variety of card templates featuring your child’s favorite characters like Strawberry Shortcake™, Thomas the Tank Engine, Hello Kitty® and more.
