Congratulations on any holiday with a postcard have always been considered a sign of respect and attention to loved ones, friends and just acquaintances. And if earlier postal services were needed to deliver such cards, today there are electronic cards with which you can congratulate your loved ones quickly and in a timely manner. Moreover, such a congratulation cannot get lost anywhere, and will arrive exactly on time, and the process of creating an electronic message itself can be quite interesting.
How to make an e-card on a computer
Creating postcards in electronic form is not a complicated process and is carried out as follows:
- in an Internet search engine, enter a request for a site that creates and sends electronic cards (for example: postcard.ru or mail.ru);
- with the help of special servers, a postcard is created to your liking, which can be decorated with different patterns, as well as select the most attractive template, choose a color scheme with a beautiful font for the congratulation text;
- If desired, electronic cards can be supplemented with musical accompaniment; it can be selected from a music catalog to suit the recipient’s taste;
- to create the most interesting thematic plot, you can use a graphic editor, but the idea of congratulations must be thought out in advance;

To ensure that creating postcards in electronic form does not cause difficulties, and also has a beautiful appearance, it is important to consider the following points:
- It is best to use a graphic editor if you have certain knowledge and skills in working with this program, since studying it can take a lot of time;
- creating postcards using a ready-made template will be much easier and faster, and you can adjust it according to your taste;
- it is best to make postcards that are neutral in content, which will appeal not only to their creator, but also to those for whom they are intended;
- When creating postcards, the main thing is to know when to stop and not to overdo it with the number of pictures, the amount of text, and also to maintain a certain color scheme.
But in any case, no matter what kind of e-cards you end up with, they will be wonderful congratulations on the holiday of your loved ones, because they are beautiful, impressive and unusual.
How to make a postcard in Word
You can make a postcard in Word, but here I want to point out why it’s better not to do this.
Word is a text editor, so with graphic objects there are some difficulties when arranging them. And the result can only be seen by opening the postcard in . And if your recipient does not have this program, then he will not be able to see the postcard, or it will open in a distorted form in another word processor. The expected pleasant impression will be ruined.
But what should we do? We will use a program for creating presentations - PowerPoint. A postcard created in PowerPoint can be saved as a picture and will be available for viewing on any computer and on the Internet.
How to Make a Postcard in PowerPoint
Creating a postcard will only take a few steps:
1 Open the PowerPoint presentation program
First option
- Start - All Programs - Microsoft Office - Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 (you may have a different version, but it doesn’t matter - all actions are universal)
Second option
- There is a search in the start menu. Start typing the name of the Microsoft PowerPoint program there and if it is installed on your computer, you will see it in the search results.
2 Select a layout
Since we are using a program to create presentations, the original slide will have markup. We don't need her. Let's remove it.
Home – Layout – Blank Slide
3 Set the background image
Let's take some beautiful drawing as the background for our postcard. Go to the tab Design – Background Styles – Background Format
In the settings window on the tab Fill choose Pattern or texture
In section Paste from: press the button File and select the desired picture from the folder. Click the button Insert and press the button Close in the window Background format.
The selected image will be stretched to fit the slide. The background is ready.
Now we can do a little magic on our card to give it an even more original look. To do this, we will add several additional elements to the slide: Santa Claus, the text of his congratulations and the title of our postcard. Well, to make it clear that the congratulations are from Santa Claus, let’s make a callout for the text.
4 Add decorations and text
Let's get started. Insert a picture with Santa Claus.
Execute the command Insert – Drawing and move it to the lower left corner. We reduce its size a little.
Making a callout Insert - Shapes. We change the figure to the desired size.
Now you can add congratulations text with the command Insert – WordArt. We select a sample text font and replace it with our congratulations. Adjust the size of the frame with the text to the size of the callout.
We do the title of the postcard in the same way.
Well, the postcard is ready. All that remains is to save it as a picture and you can send it by email.
5 Save the postcard
To save, select the command File - Save As... We give the postcard a name and, most importantly, change the file type to Drawing in JPEG format
Choose Only the current slide.
Now let's save the presentation so we can use it to create other cards.

How to search for pictures for a postcard?
To make creating a postcard as easy as possible, look for pictures with transparent backgrounds. Such drawings are most often in png or gif file format. It is preferable to use the first format. It preserves gradients well (smooth color transitions).
To search, go to Yandex. Select search section Images(block 1). Enter a key query - what image you are looking for. For example, year of the pig New Year pictures. In the search tips you can select the most suitable query.
Image search in Yandex You can use filters on the images found. Click Show filters (block 2). An additional panel will open. Now we select the parameters for selecting pictures.
We select drawings by size. We don't need large sizes for an e-card. Therefore, I advise you to put Average or Little ones. In the thumbnails of the pictures you will see their true size.
Filtering the size of pictures Which size is preferable? On average, most monitors have a size of 1366x768. So try not to take larger pictures. Because when inserted onto a slide, it can cover it entirely.
Choose the orientation yourself. Everything is clear here. But in Type Don't choose a white background. It's easy enough to remove.
Filter by background But it’s still better to choose a picture without a background. To do this in the filter File select PNG.
Filter by file type Yandex will show drawings based on our selection criteria. In the thumbnails, all pictures will have a white background, but this is not the case. Click on any of them to view in larger size. Now, if on the background instead of white you see checkerboards, then this picture has a transparent background.
Displaying a picture with a transparent background in a search engine It is preferable to use for your greeting card collage. Right-click on it and select the command Copy image and paste it onto the slide.
You can do the same in another search engine.
Creating an animated postcard
The method for creating a static postcard was described above, but you always want something more. Let's try to liven it up a little and add falling snow. To create an animated picture, we need to work a little more and make several slides that differ in the position of the snowflakes on the slides. When quickly changing such slides, the effect of falling snow will be observed.
To save such an effect in a picture, you will need another file format - GIF, which is capable of storing and displaying animation in the browser. But Power Point does not support animation when saving to this format. Therefore, in the presentation editor we will make blank frames, and to create animation from them we will use an online service. Watch the video tutorial below.
I hope this information is useful to you. Congratulations to everyone on the holidays, future and past!
