Smartphone eCards

Learning objective
In this instructable you will explore how to use a smartphone to create an eCard.

Introduction
Sometimes it's nice to make your own eCard to send to someone to mark a special occasion.

A smartphone with a camera and a photo-editing app or two is all you'll need to get started. I used an iPhone 3Gs with an app called Camera+ (from tap tap tap), but there are plenty of other smartphones and apps which you can use.

This instructable is just my own way of putting an e-card together, so use it to work out whatever suits you best. The aim is to keep it quick, using only your smartphone for fun, then share your e-card instantly.

Go on: make someone's day!

Step 1 Choose a subject

If you can't think of what to photograph, take a closer look at some of those expensive greetings cards next time you're out shopping.

Think about the person you're sendng your eCard to. Do they like flowers? Kittens? Motorcycles? Or maybe they'll like whatever you like. Perhaps you have a passion for sea shells, or there's something else that already interests you which will look good.
