How Does It Look?

Tellinga sends epistolary greeting cards through traditional snail mail. Each image is hand-drawn by a talented Tellinga artist on a 5.5" x 8.5" greeting card-sized postcard. It is then placed in a 6" x 9" brown grocery bag style envelope with the customer's address used as the return address. Before your card is shipped to its desired location, a charity stamp, and custom wax seal are applied. Afterward, the digital copies of your story are uploaded in the "Download Your Story" section of the website and also sent to your email to share online with family and friends. Every card shipped helps raise funds to fight Alzheimer's disease, support breast cancer research, or helps treat those impacted with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Send out a card today!
