How It Works


Meet Magic Greetings™: Cards That Come to Life

Forget flat paper and one-dimensional messages—Magic Greetings™ brings your cards into the real world with just your smartphone. No apps, no downloads: only wonder.


How We Reinvented the Greeting Card

We set out to change an entire industry by combining our know-how in film production, holograms, coding and 3D animation. We saw a chance to push the boundaries of what a card can be, and discovered that Augmented Reality (AR) was the perfect way to unlock a new dimension of storytelling. Today, Magic Greetings™ cards use your phone’s camera to transform into:

  • Cinematic Videos on top of the card surface

  • Interactive 3-D Animations that pop right into your room

All seamlessly, instantly and without ever asking you to install an app.


What Is Augmented Reality (AR), Really?

AR blends digital magic with your everyday surroundings. Here’s how it works on your phone:

  1. Camera as the Window
    Your phone’s camera watches the world around you.

  2. Spotting the Card
    Special patterns on the card act like a unique fingerprint. Your camera recognizes them instantly.

  3. Cutting-Edge Placement
    Behind the scenes, we use Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)—that fancy term simply means your phone builds a quick map of your card and nearby surfaces so our video or 3D creature stays perfectly in place, even if you move or tilt your device.

  4. Instant Magic
    Once recognized, our high-quality video or fully animated 3D character appears right on the card or in your room.


Two Ways to Experience the Magic

Card Style What You’ll See Perfect For
Magic Video Cards (we have 62 of these) A beautifully edited mini-movie that plays on top of the card Birthdays, just because cards, weddings, holidays, graduations, sympathy cards, get well soon, and much more.
3-D Interactive Cards (we have 4 of these) A lifelike 3D animal (T-Rex, Unicorn, Penguin, or Dolphin) you can move, resize, animate, and record Kids’ gifts and parties, social-media fun, show-and-tell

Just Three Simple Steps

  1. Scan the QR Code
    Point your phone’s camera at the code on the back of the card.

  2. Tap “Launch + Allow”
    A browser window opens instantly—no app store needed.

  3. Hover & Interact

    • Video Cards: Watch your mini-movie play right on the card’s surface.

    • 3-D Cards: See your creature appear in your space, then tap on-screen controls to animate and record.

Works on over 3 billion devices—most iPhones, Android phones and tablets—and only needs a camera and an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data). For any hiccups, head to our Help & Support page.
