What this guide will help you do

Connect gives you two ways to add an inner message: create it in the built-in editor or upload your own ready-made inner-message artwork.

Use the message editor

Type your message and choose the font and colour.

Upload your own artwork

Use a prepared file instead of creating the message in Connect.

Send direct to the recipient

Choose whether the finished card should be placed inside its coloured envelope.

Add a message using the editor

1

Open the inner message editor

On the Cart page, find the card you want to personalise and click Add a message.

Create your message

The editor opens in a pop-up. Add text to either or both inside pages, then use the controls to change the font, size and colour.
