You can also take your pick from Canva’s 1 million high quality images, graphics, and illustrations, some of which are free, and the premium images at a measly $1 each.
Choose from high quality, ready made eCard templates
We have a wide selection of professionally crafted eCard template designs all ready for you on Canva, created by our team of expert designers. You need only pick one and start designing by dragging and dropping additional elements into the template.
Want to make a set of designs based on a single template? No worries, you can use the same template as many times as you want, so you don’t have to return to the drawing board every time. Every design you make on Canva will be saved to your homepage, which you can access again anytime you want, and then drag and drop new images, texts, and effects for newer versions of the design, or a brand new design altogether.
Share your eCard in a variety of ways
Once your eCard is ready to face your recipient, you may opt to send it out any way you like. Hitting the Share button on Canva’s menu bar lets you send out your e-card via email or post it directly onto your social media page.
More options? You can choose to download your eCard as a JPG or PNG image or have them printed out in wonderful high resolution as a PDF. Because why not go all the way by going old school too?
