How Does It Look?

Epistolary greeting cards are shipped 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. A Tellinga stamp is then applied and sent to your desired location. Afterward, the digital copies of your epistolary are uploaded in the "Download Your Story" section of the website and also sent to your email to share online with family, friends, and pen pals. Your story turns into the best personalized gift. Send out a card today!
