    Celebrating International Friendship Week

    Friends are the family we choose. Friendship is all about the million things which make so much room in our heart for our dear friends.

    Friendship refreshes our soul and makes life better. So this International Friendship Week, let’s make the experience of sending out cards more enjoyable for our users as they reach out to friends, old and new.

    While we receive a lot of cards for the sub-categories Happy Friendship Day and Thank You, we would love for you to brainstorm and create some crazy, sweet, memorable and exclusive cards for the categories below.

    • Best Friends: You know you have a best friend by your side when you believe in each other aggressively, defend each other and think the other deserves the world. They are the sister/ brother you get to choose in this lifetime. Help users convey to their besties how lucky they are to have them in their life with some personalized ecards.
    • Friends Forever: Forever friends are hard to find and you are truly blessed even if you have even one of them. You know that they have always been and will be there for a lifetime. You can count on them for anything and everything! Try experimenting here and depicting friends forever in a cute yet quirky way.
    • Fun: Endless gossip, shopping sprees, infinite gaming sessions, unforgettable nights, movie marathons, laughing till it hurts, sleepovers, adventurous holidays and polishing off one large pizza in seconds is double the fun when it’s with your dear buddy. Imbibe these crazy moments to bring out the essence of friendship in your cards.
    • Miss You: Friends might be separated by distance but never in heart. Cherished memories and a strong bond are what keeps the friendship strong. Help users connect with faraway friends and bridge the miles with warm and cute cards.
    • Friendship Thoughts: Help users express their heartfelt feelings with some meaningful and touching cards in this section.
    • Flowers: Friends are the flowers in the garden of life, beginning with a seed of trust, nurtured with laughter and tears, growing into loyalty and love. Design some cards with virtual flowers for a user to send out to a friend and make them feel special and loved.

    Hope this blog inspires you to design some really uber cool and fantastic cards for our users. Once Friendship day is over, you could modify your cards and upload them in the Friendship section for sends throughout the year.

    Happy designing!

    Wishing you all a Happy Friendship Week in advance. May you have a legendary one with your besties!

    • Happy Friendship Day: Jothi won $10

    Ecard by Jothi

    A soothing background and a floral element in the card always works well with the users. Jothi helps users relive special memories with their friends using this lovely ecard.

     

    Ecard by SanqunettiDesig

    Describing friendship in the most apt way, this ecard couldn’t be truer. A life without your best friend is totally unimaginable. Who would you share gossip with or the fact that you picked up that designer bag on sale, or say the cute guy in high school? The upcoming soccer matches or getting your first date, if it wasn’t for your bestie? The happiness of something doubles up when you have someone to share them with and your best friend totally adds to the excitement of all those special moments. SanqunettiDesig created a perfect card for a user to send to his/ her best friend.

    • Fun: SanqunettiDesig won $10

    Ecard by SanqunettiDesig

    Every friendship is different, unique and magical in its own way. A true friend is the greatest of all blessings. They have your back at all times and support you just like a family member would. Doesn’t this truly feel magical? To have someone with whom you can share all those things which you wouldn’t with anyone else, without inhibitions. Once again Sanqunetti, got it right with this card and helped users celebrate the magic called friendship.

    Many Congratulations to the winners! And for those who didn’t make the mark, better luck next time.

    The last quarter of the year is going to be jam-packed with multiple events. We hope to see the same passion and desire to deliver some fabulous ecards from all studio artists. Don’t forget to follow Studio Blog for updates on contests and other engaging information.

    Keep smiling, shining and designing!
