Remember e-cards? They were hot stuff when it first came out at the end of the 1990s. I remember sending them out when it was Christmas time and it was fun. No postage stamps! It’s so fast! It was novelty! And that was fun… for a little while.
So when I got an email request from Michelle from Pattern Observer about finding new e-cards, I took it as a challenge. I haven’t really looked into the scene for years and I thought that this was going to be one tough post to do. But lo and behold — I did find a few interesting e-card dispensing websites that were more keeping with the times (and my fondness for humor and illustration!) So drumroll please:
A funny and pretty little e-card by Violeta Dabija.
Haha funny videos by JibJab (some of these are premium, which you have to pay for)
E-cards that you actually put together yourself at Flashcan. There are a few illustrators’ palette to pick from, so this could keep you entertained for a good hour while you compose your card.
Funny, heartwarming and silly video based e-cards (and a lot of them are illustrated as well!) from Katie’s Cards
Last but not least, e-cards with a touch of sarcasm and dry humor that grownups would enjoy from Someecards.
And there you have it! If you find any other e-cards worth mentioning that we’ve overlooked, do leave your suggestions in the comments! 🙂
Thank you so much for the post! This is awesome! I found this site:

They have holiday cards, invitations etc..and you can even design your own by uploading your designs onto one of their blanks.
I have not had the time to send these out, so your timing is perfect. Thanks again!
Check out pingg! http://www.pingg.com
Lots of ecards designed by independent artists across the globe—including many of my favorite etsy sellers. Totally customizable too. My collection can be found here: http://www.pingg.com/galler…
Ecards are the new hotness! Hehehe.
Artists are most welcome on cardkarma.com. You can use your images from anywhere on the web…or use a creative commons-licensed photo from Flickr (and Youtube videos!)
There’s profiles where all your cards are, so you can create your own ecard collection and let people share ‘em. Let me know what you think!
Thanks! 🙂 I miss the days of abundant ecards.
I’m having a great time with flashcan now!
Huh? e-cards… great idea, I’d kinda forgotten all about them. So much more enviro friendly.
Merry Christmas to you Amy 🙂
