Hey everyone. My name is Randie. Today, I'm going to show you how to create your own ECard.
We all get a great laugh out of these whether we see them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest,
or any of those networks. But it's also really fun to make your own whether you're
going to send it as an invitation to somebody, or as a happy birthday card, or anything else
along those lines.
So, I'm going to show you how to create an account on their website, make an ECard,
the edit it, then show you how to send it to someone's email.
First of, we are going to go to their website, which I'm already on it, which is someecards.com.
And then you're going to register, which you just click register which is right here
in the right hand corner. It's a really fast registration; it's nothing too crazy.
And then, I actually already have an account so I'm going to click login, then click
here and put in my password, and then login to their website. It will take you back to
their homepage, which is actually really fun to look at, they show their most popular ones,
their most visited sections, and what not.
So to create your own card, you're going to go to the bar where it says "Create Your
Own" and then you're going to click "Create Cards". And then it's going to bring you
to this page, and you can actually, they have categories, which really they have so many
categories really anything you can really think of. So I'm going to do a birthday
card for my mom her birthday is tomorrow, so my category will be "Birthday." And
then you're going to double click here and put your text. I'm just going to say "Happy
Birthday Mom! Wishing you the best day ever!"
And then, I don't really like that green color, and her favorite color is purple, so
I'm going to click this pretty pastel purple color. And then I don't really like that
picture, and it doesn't really go with the theme. So here you will click "Choose the
Image" and right here you can go through all their 40 pages, or right here in the right
hand corner, you can click that, and it gets divided into some sections. Since I'm doing
a birthday card, I'll click "birthday." And then here are the birthday options they
have so I'm going to click this one with a cake that looks cute and fun. So if that's
all I want, that's fine. I'm going to click save, and then here is just a little
reminder, basically saying that you're acknowledging that you're not copyrighting any material
or using an abusive content. So I'm going to click "Acknowledge."
Then it's going to bring you to this page, and heres where you can either e-mail the
card, create an invite, this is where you'll find the link to send it to someone, if you
want to discuss about the card, or submit it on their website and then have people see
it. So here is all my information, and right now I'm going to put my moms e-mail address.
So, here is her e-mail address, and then if you wanted to send it to more then one you
just have to put a comma and add the other persons address, but I'm just going to send
it to my mom.
Then if I want to add a message to the e-mail, that's where you put the message. I'm
going to do, "Happy Birthday Mom! Wishing I was home to celebrate it with you! Have
a great day! Love you!" So that's all I want to say, and here you can actually pick
a delivery date. So my mom's birthday is tomorrow. So if I want to just get it done
with now, so I don't forget, I can make sure it get sent to her e-mail address tomorrow
and not today, because today is not her birthday! So her birthday is the 10th, and you can actually
pick a delivery time, and it's divided into 30 minutes. So, I mean you might not really
care or if you want it to go at a specific time, you can. So let's say I want it sent
to her e-mail by 9:00am. Then I click on 9:00am.
They actually have a really great tracking system. Down here you can check the boxes,
if you want this website to notify you through your e-mail when this card has been received
by the person. Or if you want them to notify you if the card hasn't been like seen or
picked up by the person within two days. So that's actually really nice you can track
it and see if they have seen it and what not.
So if that's all you want to do, you can preview it to see what it's going to look
like. SO just click "Preview" and then this is what the e-mail would look like when
the person receives it. So if I like that and everything look great, I'm just going
to click send and it has been sent, and it just lets you know the scheduled date and
time and to what e-mail address. So that is how you send it. I hope you enjoyed this video,
and I hope you have a great day. Thanks so much!
