The card guide
Step 1: Purchase Your Card
The journey begins on our Cardcrafters webstore, where you can browse through our collection of beautiful, reusable themecards. Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, a wedding, or just to say “thank you,” our cards are thoughtfully designed to fit any occasion.
Once you’ve chosen the perfect card, place your order. You can personalize it further by selecting designs that resonate with the recipient or match the theme of your celebration.
Step 2: Receive Your Card
After placing your order, we’ll prepare your card and ship it directly to the destination you’ve specified. Once it arrives, take a moment to appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that goes into each Cardcrafters product. Our cards are built to last, ensuring they can be reused and cherished for years to come.
Step 3: Scan the QR-Code
Turn the card over and you’ll find a unique QR-code printed on the back. Scanning this code with your smartphone or QR-code scanner will redirect you to a personalized webpage specifically linked to the card. This is where the magic begins!
Step 4: Share Your Location and a Personal Message
The personalized web page is your opportunity to add a unique chapter to the card’s story:
- Enter Your Name and Location – Let others know where the card is currently located.
- Upload a Photo – Personalize the card’s digital journey by adding a meaningful image. This could be:
- A snapshot of your environment, such as your bookshelf or desk.
- A photo that resonates with the occasion, like a festive “Merry Christmas” graphic for the holidays.
- A fun or sentimental image found online.
Once you’ve filled out the form, click Upload to save your updates. The location and photo will now be part of the card’s growing digital history.
Step 5: Use the Private Chat Feature
Cardcrafters cards include a built-in private chat feature, accessible on the personalized webpage. Look for the chat bubble icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
- Access the Chat – Use the password printed on the card to join the private chat group linked to that specific card.
- Send Messages – Write heartfelt notes, share jokes, or send your wishes directly to the recipient. This feature allows multiple people to contribute, making it ideal for group celebrations or messages of support.
Important Reminder: Save the Link!
If you plan to pass the card on to someone else, make sure you save the card’s unique webpage link somewhere safe. This link is your gateway to the card’s journey and the digital history associated with it. By saving it, you’ll be able to track where the card travels and see the updates added by others. Without the link, you’ll lose access to this wonderful feature, so don’t forget!
When to Use Cardcrafters Cards
Cardcrafters cards are versatile and perfect for different occasions. Here are three examples to show how best to use the card and QR code.
________________________________________
1. A sick colleague
A colleague is sick and the whole team wants to give him or her a cheer.
How do you use the card?
1. Buy the card: Order a cheerful card, such as the frog card with “Get well”.
2. Scan the QR code: Once the card arrives, scan the QR code together to get to the card’s web page. Or you pass the card to each other until everyone has had the card in their hands/scanned it.
3. Personal contributions:
o Each team member enters his or her name and location. (A storyline)
o Upload a personal photo, such as a group photo of the team or a funny photo with a nod to work.
o Write a heartfelt message or share an uplifting story. (Private chat)
4. Use private chat: Private chat allows team members to share messages such as funny memories or wishes to get better soon. (A large group/database where all messages come together)
5. Hand over the card: Give the card to the sick colleague. The latter can scan the QR code and enjoy all the messages, photos and locations of the team.
2. Birthday of a friend or family member
A birthday card that not only contains congratulations, but becomes a real gift through the contributions of all friends and family members.
Here’s how to use the card:
1. Purchasing the card: Choose a birthday card with a cheerful theme.
2. Scan the QR code: Start with the personalized web page.
3. Add personal details:

5. Share the card: Pass the card to other friends or family members. They can add their own congratulations, locations and photos on the website.
6. Give the card to the birthday person: On the birthday itself, the card is handed over, and the birthday person can scan the QR code to view all the contributions.
Result: The card becomes a collective gift full of personal memories and congratulations.
3. A map as a roadmap during Christmas
Create a unique “digital journey” by passing the map during the holidays and creating a story that connects everyone.
Here’s how to use the map:
1. Purchase a Christmas card: Choose a card like the snowman or Christmas ball.
2. Scan the QR code: The first recipient (for example, you) personalizes the card by adding a location, photo and message.
3. Pass the card on:
o Send the card to the next person, such as a family member or friend.
o Each new recipient adds their name, location, photo and personal message.
4. Private chat for everyone: The chat allows all participants to communicate with each other. This makes sharing funny Christmas memories or festive wishes easy.
5. Follow the map: By saving the link, you can later see how the map travels and collects contributions. (This develops a roadmap through the contributions of everyone who received the cards.)
