Can Design Genie make a Card invitation?

Design Genie makes both kinds of invitation. A card brief is quicker and smaller than a Signature brief, and far cheaper to paint, so a card round is usually ready in a couple of minutes.

Brief a card

1. 1Open the brief page. From the catalogue's Card side it opens on Card already.
2. 2On the first question, set the switch to Card invitation. The occasions then follow the kind; some occasions offer cards only.
3. 3Answer the rest as for any brief: who is in it, the theme, the look and the review. See Write a brief.

What Genie paints

Each draft is a matched set from one world and palette:

• The card: one painted face with calm paper where your words go, in one of five layouts (a scene across the top, a scene along the foot, a border, an arch, or the corners). No two cards of a first round share a layout.
• The page background it lies on when opened: richer toward the edges, calm in the middle.
• Its envelope paper, on the Wax Seal Envelope for most cards or the Tuck-in Envelope for rustic and hand-made looks.

The card arrives in that envelope, on its own page, in the Flat lay layout. You can change any of it in the card studio. See Card envelopes.

In the studio

On a computer each draft shows as a desktop screen with the card nearly the screen's height on its own paper, as guests see it. Revisions work as for Signature designs, and the card, its page and its envelope stay matched: a note that changes the card's world or colours repaints the page and envelope too, and a note about the background changes the page.

After you pick one

Use this design opens the card in the card studio, where you write the words and set the date, place, gifts and replies. See Make a card. A Genie card is priced like every card, still or brought to life, and paid once when you send it unless your plan includes it; see Card prices.
