Paperless Post Digital Cards & Flyers- Classroom and Personal Use

Uncategorized

Paperless Post Christmas Card Save
I recently discovered Paperless Post when I was asked if I would review their products.  Paperless Post is a company that designs customizable online stationery and flyers. It actually came at just the right time when I realized that the Christmas Cards I had ordered from another vendor with my family’s picture wasn’t going to arrive in time to mail out for the holidays.  After going to their website, I was amazed at all they had to offer.

Normally I steer clear of e-cards, particularly when it comes to Christmas because they don’t seem to be flattering as printables; however, this was NOT the case this time.  Not only did they have pretty much every theme you could think of, but they also had a “flyer” option which was FREE!

With Paperless Post, it’s extremely easy to choose and customize your card.

  1. First, you choose the theme you’re looking for which in my case, would be Christmas.  
  2. Once you find the design you like, click on the card to customize.  
  3. Add the photo you would like to be included in the card.
  4. Edit your text.
  5. Add recipients’ email addresses.
The other option that appealed to me was that they also have customizable flyers that are FREE!  This was perfect because I am always on the lookout for creative ways I can send communications to my students and their parents.  Flyers are created similar to their paperless stationery, but you have the option to share them on social media, email directly, or post the link on your website… wherever you would like it to go.  The flyer below is one I created for an upcoming event at school:

What creative ways do you communicate with parents?  I’d love to hear about it in the comments below.
