Rocket Adventure
€5,90per cardThe classic red and white rocket, now in deep space: standing on a cratered moon with the photo of the birthday child in the porthole, their name on the rocket and your message. Scan the card and the rocket stands on it in 3D with the photo in the window; the engine lights, it lifts off in smoke and fire and flies round the card in loops and swoops, never the same twice. Tap it: the boosters fire with a big burst of flames and smoke.
Love Notes
€5,90per cardA glossy red heart on a soft blush card, with your name and words. Scan it and the heart stands on the card and starts to beat, faster and faster, until it bursts into pieces and a folded note rises out of it with your own message, written in your words. Tap and the heart comes back together to do it again. For Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or just because.
Video Message
€5,90per cardA simple card with your own video in a gold frame. Scan it and your video message plays right inside the frame.
Dancing Santa
€5,90per cardA snowy Christmas night with a Santa who dances on the card. Scan it and tap Santa: he spins, jumps and says your own message, while it keeps snowing.
Dino Run
€5,90per cardAn endless runner on a card: a T-Rex races down a sandy track through a volcano valley. Scan the card and swipe left or right to change lane, swipe up to jump over rocks and logs, and collect the spotted eggs. The further you run, the faster it gets. At 500 metres your own message appears. How far can you get?

Questions & trust
Everything parents and gift-givers want to know.
What does the camera do, and not do? +
When the recipient scans a card, their phone camera is used only to find the printed marker and play the effect, live in the browser. We never record, store or upload video. The camera turns off the moment they're done.
Do we need to install an app? +
No. The AR runs directly in a modern mobile browser. Just tap the link or scan the QR code on the card and point the camera, that's it.
Is it safe for kids? +
Yes. There are no accounts for children, no chat, and no ads. Effects are gentle and family-friendly, and we recommend a clear space for active games.
How is my data handled? +
We store only what's needed to print and ship your order. Photos you upload are used solely to produce your card and can be deleted on request. We never sell personal data.
How long does shipping take? +
Cards are printed and dispatched within 48 hours. Standard tracked delivery typically arrives in 3 to 6 working days; priority options are available at checkout.
What's your refund policy? +
If you're not delighted, contact us within 30 days for a free reprint or a full refund. The AR experience stays active for 6 months after your order, and you can extend it in My cards.
