Abstract: A system is provided for downloading a fully customizable greeting card application to a mobile device such as a tablet, the application simulating the behavior of a child making handmade cards with blank paper and physical drawing tools and other decorative effects. The application allows a user to create a card from a variety of pre-designed greeting card templates or to fully customize three full pages of a blank greeting card. A completed greeting card may be electronically mailed to one or more email recipients or one or more copies of the greeting card can be ordered and purchased from within the application and may be printed and sent from a remote fulfillment facility to one or more specified recipients. The application contains parental controls for ordering and purchasing the greeting cards while not interfering with a child's ability to fully express their creativity through various in-app drawing tools and available effects.
