These five apps for the iPhone or iPad are so awesome, I had to share!
The Cartolina app
The Cartolina app by Cartolina allows you to send brief but beautiful messages using one of 45 customizable designs. Pretty up someone’s inbox! Choose a design, customize your message, and then you can either email or text it to the recipient. The app allows you to send to multiple recipients and it also includes a calendar which will send you automatic reminders—so you’ll never miss a birthday. I purchased this app and am having so much fun sending fancier messages and birthday greetings! To purchase the app for $1.99, click here.
Mailroom from Cartolina app
The Mailroom app has a little more room to write something other than a short cryptic note. It’s a fun way for creative entrepreneurs and those of us who just love a well-designed interface to send casual business correspondence to our clients/customers or longer messages to our friends using simple, retro inspired templates. A way cooler alternative to dull emails! There are 21 stylish vintage templates with lots more room to type your message. To purchase the app for $1.99, click here.
Cartolina Postale App
Send 4″x6″‘ postcards using this Cartolina Postale app. Pick a photo on your phone or take one, choose a postcard design, size the photo, hit send. You create an account, then enter your message and address. You can import addresses and send to multiple recipients. Each postcard you send is $1.99 (including postage) within the US, $2.99 anywhere else. I’m thinking that you could create birthday cards, invitations to a party, or Christmas cards with this app. To download the app for FREE, click here.

Ink Cards App
These Ink Cards, personalized photo cards sent in the mail by Sincerely, Inc., are the same idea as the Cartolina Postale cards, but are 5″x7″. They have designs for any occasion or you can just send an amazing Instagram photo you just took. Same price of $1.99 each, but buy in bulk and save a little. Add photos (and photo filters), personal messages, and other special touches with just a few clicks—or don’t. To download the app for FREE, click here.
Popbooth Photo booth App
Also by Sincerely, Inc., PopBooth is a photo booth app that sends REAL photo strips in the mail. Snap four shots, apply filters, then post to Facebook, send by email, or send a REAL photo strip in the mail. Again, the cost for the photostrips is $1.99 each in the US and $2.99 to anywhere else. To download the app for FREE, click here.
Now, fortunately or unfortunately, none of us has an excuse to not send a card!
bye-bye boring emails. love the idea of sending something more interesting to clients.
