Turn your kid’s drawing into something the whole family keeps
Your kid’s best drawing shouldn’t have to live on the fridge until it fades. Put it on a real card or a sheet of stickers and post it to someone who’ll actually keep it: a grandparent, the other parent, an auntie too far away to see it in person.
It turns up with their work on it, in theirown unmistakable style. And it doesn’t go in anyone’s bin.
You photograph the drawing, tell us what you’d like, and AIPrinter prints it and posts it anywhere in the UK. That’s the whole thing.
One drawing, more than one way to send it
A drawing doesn’t have to become a birthday card. We print on three things, and each one suits a different moment.
A greeting card for a birthday, their artwork on the front. A postcardfor a quick hello to someone far away, with a message on the back in your kid’s own words. A sheet of stickers for when one copy was never going to be enough. The same little drawing turning up on lunchboxes and water bottles and the backs of phone cases, right across the family.
Upload a photo of the drawing and say what you’d like: keep it exactly as it is, or have us tidy the edges and centre it. That’s the design done.
For the grandparent who keeps every card they’re ever given:
“This is my daughter’s drawing of her and Nanny baking. Keep it just as she drew it. Tidy the edges and centre it on a birthday card. It’s for Nanny’s 70th.”
For the other parent, from someone who can barely hold a pen yet:
“My son drew the four of us on holiday. Print it on a card exactly as it is. It’s from him to his mum.”
For the auntie or uncle who lives too far to visit:
“Put my son’s drawing of a rocket on a postcard. On the back, write: ‘Come visit soon, Auntie Mel. Love, Jonah’.”
For the teacher who got them through the year:
“My daughter drew her whole class with Mrs Patel in the middle. Print it on a postcard so she can hand it over on the last day of term.”
For when one copy was never going to cut it:
“Turn my kid’s drawing of our dog Biscuit into a sheet of stickers. Enough for her, her cousins, and a few to go back on Grandma’s fridge.”
That last one comes full circle. The drawing starts on your fridge and ends up on everyone else’s.
Getting a good photo of the drawing
The drawing is already perfect. The only thing that can let it down is the photo you take of it. And that’s thirty seconds of care.
Lay it flat on a table rather than holding it up, and shoot from directly above so the edges stay square. Daylight does the rest. Near a window beats the kitchen spotlight every time. Fill the frame with the paper and leave the cereal box out of shot.
If it’s a bit creased, or there’s a juice stain in the corner, don’t worry. Tell us and we’ll clean it up. But we won’t “improve” the drawing. The six-fingered hands stay. The backwards letters stay. That’s the bit worth keeping.
And get their name and age in there somewhere. “By Theo, age 4” turns a lovely card into something the family dates and keeps.
Because kids only draw like this for a year or two. The drawings get neater and more self-conscious soon enough, and you’d give a lot to have the wonky version back. Years from now, that dated little card is the one you’re glad you kept.
Sending it
Once the photo’s in and you’re happy with the design, choose what to print it on: greeting card, postcard, or sticker sheet. Preview the front, inside and back, add your message, then give the delivery address and pay via Stripe. We print it and post it from our UK studio — send it to yourself to hand over in person, or straight to whoever it’s for.
It lands well at the other end. A grandparent will put a grandchild’s drawing on the shelf and leave it there, which is more than most shop-bought cards get. And if it’s stickers, the same drawing is on every cousin’s water bottle and lunchbox by the weekend. One scribble, suddenly everywhere.
Do it once and it tends to become a thing. Every Christmas, one of their drawings becomes the card the whole family gets. Same kid, same wonky signature, on every mantelpiece you know.
A birthday, Christmas, or a drawing that’s simply too good for the fridge. Any of them is reason enough. Start your kid’s drawing card. It’s posted Royal Mail Tracked 24, so order a few days ahead of the day that matters.
