Making birthday cards, writing love letters, or creating objects of affection in its various formats has somehow become a lost art. Historically, birthday cards have been a staple in celebrations, with handwritten notes often given together with a gift. These tangible tokens of affection have a rich tradition in expressing love and building personal connections. In a hyper-digital reality, communicating appreciation takes a different form: it's often casual and at least somewhat ephemeral.
At Sane, we've been curious about redefining what a virtual birthday card or e-card could be like, at it's most personal and very best.
The perfect card is personal and makes its receiver feel seen and appreciated. Making online birthday cards is a great way to send a card even in long distances and create something unique with a truly heartfelt message. A digital birthday card can also be cost-effective and come together with another material gift sent digitally (think: a gift card).
Putting together something special for your loved one is a thoughtful way to connect. Rather than going for just an Instagram or Facebook post, a digital birthday card shows much more personal intent.
There are many ways to make and send digital greeting cards online, one of which is Sane. Sane allows you to easily create the perfect birthday card and make your person feel it all on their special day. On Sane, you can easily create digital birthday cards that feel personal and intimate. Our spatial editor provides a minimalist, digital canvas where you can add images, links, video, Spotify embeds, and more to make an online birthday card that feels unique and special.
Making a digital birthday card on Sane is easy. Once you've created a new space and added a title and description, you simply click-to-create on the canvas. You can visually organize your photos, stickers, notes, and other items to show off your unique vibe and play with different card designs.
We recently released our first mobile editing experience, which means you can now easily make spaces on the go. The browser-based mobile experience allows you to do everything you can on a desktop screen, including creating new spaces, adding images, text, links, notes, and more, plus use your phone camera to add content directly into your online birthday card.
Once your space is ready, you can choose to publish it for others to see and be inspired by, or just share it as a private link with your loved one.
