When you care enough to send the very most completely awesome
Imagine a land where the world's hippest Indie designers line up at your door to throw sketches at you for... whatever. Your daughter's birthday party, your best friend's shower, your "I Finally Lost the Baby Weight" champagne brunch. Okay, now imagine you don't have to stand there in your pajamas and awkwardly offer them coffee as you sort through the portfolios. You just browse a website. This land is called pingg.

For those of you already familiar with the free e-cards of pingg, you might agree that it's the super cool lovechild of Hallmark and Etsy-- with a dash of Threadless. Oodles of artisan-designed print cards and e-cards are available, even more now than when we first discovered them two years ago. They're all searchable by keyword and completely customizable, down to font and color.

What's especially cool about pingg now is that you're not limited to what you see. In addition to the millions of designs uploaded by international artists, you can even upload your own. And we know we have artists in the Cool Mom Picks community! Just sign up to become part of their Designer Series, and you'll get your own page, exposure, promotion, and feedback for your work.

If you're a party-planner, not an artist, no worries. The designers already on the roster offer a unique and phenomenal array of illustrations that turn e-cards from blah to hurrah. Survey says? PINGG! ~Delilah

Find incredible free ecards online at pingg and for an extra $10, join pingg plus for extra features, including a search of over four million designs in the pingg vault and 10% off every print order.
