How It Works

Create a card in just four easy steps

Imagine: Stepping inside the charming, colorful world of a hand-drawn illustration that reflects the personality and style of the people and places you love. Dear Ida makes this a reality. We offer designs in three categories: Home, Holiday and Silhouettes. Just browse our designs, click on an image and we'll create a one-of-a-kind card that will be a cherished keepsake.

Select a card category from our gallery drop-down menu. Then, browse our design choices and backgrounds, click on an image and create your card.

Depending on your choice of background, you can e-mail or upload images of your kids, family, pets — even your home — to be custom-illustrated to create your card.

Using the photos that you send us for inspiration, our illustrator, Lisa, will create your cards in a unique, hand-drawn style.

You’ll receive your cards printed on a high-quality, soft, heavyweight paper stock — hand-assembled, beautifully packaged with matching envelopes and ready to share.
