Send postcards by e-mail. How to send a postcard by email for free

They say that a gift is not dear, attention is dear. Therefore, our task is to send a postcard to Mile ru for free.

Postcards Mile ru project in its old version is closed. Now the postcard can be sent directly from your Mail.ru mail, as well as from Odnoklassniki or from the My World service.
Before moving on to the Mail ru postcards, I recommend the audio greetings service:

The Mail ru postcard can be sent from the Mail ru service that is more convenient for you: Mail, My World, Odnoklassniki. Below we will consider how to send a postcard directly from your mail to Mail.ru.

then you can click on the appropriate button with the text, for example, "Send a postcard in a letter." You can also read:

“And now we are ready to offer you more convenient and modern services that will help you congratulate your friends and loved ones: Odnoklassniki, Mail, My World”.

Rice. 1 A postcard can be sent through any of the three Mail ru services: Odnoklassniki, Mail, My World

Of the three proposed options (Odnoklassniki, Mail, My World), we will consider the option with mail.

How to send a postcard Mile ru directly from your mail

Important: before sending a postcard to any addressee, we will test how it works and see what the recipient sees in the end.

Testing is needed in order to check what exactly the addressee will receive, how it will look, otherwise it may turn out that “we wanted the best, but it turned out as usual”.

• We will test on ourselves, that is, we will send a test postcard, for example, from our address nadezda @ mail.ru to the same address nadezda @ mail.ru.

• If the results of the experiment suit us, we will repeat all the same, but to send a postcard to Mile ru, we will no longer enter our address, but the address of the recipient of the postcard.

1) First you need to go to your mail Mile ru, enter your username and password.

2) To send a postcard, click on the "Write a letter" button (1 in Fig. 2):

3) On the right side of the mail, click on the "Postcards" tab (3 in Fig. 2). You will see over 50 postcards sorted into categories:

• Happy Holidays
• Happy birthday,
• With love,
• Just,
• Retro,
• From September 1!

For example, we choose the postcard “Happy New Year” in the category “Happy Holidays”.

Let's go over the fields that you should pay attention to when sending a postcard to Mile ru, or rather, according to the numbers in Fig. 1.

1 in fig. 2 - click on the "Write a letter" button.

2 in Fig. 2 - by clicking on the "Styles" button, you can select the background for the letter (colored background or background with a picture). In fig. 2 the “Winter” style with Santa Claus is selected for the background. Styles can be searched by clicking on the small triangles highlighted with red arrows (number 10 in Fig. 2). You can NOT choose the style, that is, you can skip this step.

3 in Fig. 2 - click on the "Postcards" button. Select the postcard by clicking on the small triangles marked in Fig. 2 red arrows (number 10).

So, the letter has a beautiful style (letter substrate) and a nice postcard. Now the muse is visiting us: we are printing the greeting text for the postcard.

4 in Fig. 2 - button “Signatures”. If you click on it, you can make an automatic signature for each letter to Mile ru. Or you can edit the signature that already exists.

The problem is that you forget about this signature over time. And it continues to be automatically inserted into each letter. With the passage of time, information tends to become outdated, so you should not put “unnecessary” information in the signature.

5 in Fig. 2 - “To” field. We print the e-mail of the recipient of the postcard without errors, otherwise how will he (the recipient) receive it?

You can send the first postcard as a test to yourself. Then in the "To" field you can enter your e-mail.

6 in Fig. 2 - "Subject" field. You can leave the suggested topic or enter your own topic.

7 in Fig. 2 - button. You can find on your computer, for example, a sound file and attach it to the letter.

8 in Fig. 2 - button "Cloud" Mail ru. By clicking on it, you can attach a file from the Cloud to the letter.

9 in Fig. 2 - We check whether everything is done type-top, and send by clicking on the "Send" button.

10 in Fig. 2 - a triangle for navigating the columns with Cards and Styles.

4) After clicking on the "Send" button, the "Enter the code from the picture" window will appear. You need to enter the code from the picture to “confirm your human origin”, that is, the message is NOT sent by the robot. If the code is not legible, you need to click on the "I do not see the code" link to replace it with another one.

5) If everything is fine, then we repeat all the steps again, but now we fill in the "To" field not with our e-mail, but enter the e-mail of the recipient of the postcard.

It takes a long time to describe the procedure for sending a postcard to Mail.ru, but in reality it can be done in a few minutes. If you don't believe it, check it out for yourself.

Everything is very simple: I suggest using bright, wise, rare photos and drawings by the authors, which are not essentially postcards, but so mesmerizing that to come up with them wishes or look for suitable quotes or parables- HUGE fun and great relaxation
Such a "postcard" and congratulations will be copyright, unusual and, I am sure, will delight your loved one much more than the familiar picture.
And since you invest your good mood and time in the search and creative process.
By the way: practice has shown that without a good mood it is almost impossible to find really worthwhile pictures. It is as if the pictures themselves are attracted to the inspired mood and you start to find them in the most unexpected places.

Where to find such photos: In this article, I will share with some of the best links that have been found since starting work on our site and some fishy spots.
In this case, you should not rush, the most important thing is to pay attention to the photos and immediately save a good photo or a link to it, slowly creating your collection.

Moreover, such a congratulation cannot get lost anywhere, and will come right on time, and the process of creating an email message can be quite interesting.

But in any case, whatever e-cards do not turn out in the end, they will be a wonderful congratulation on the holiday of loved ones, because it is beautiful, effective and unusual.

How to make a card in a Word

You can make a postcard in a Word, but here I want to note why it is better not to do this.

Word is text editor, so there are some complications with graphic objects when they are laid out. And the result can be viewed only by opening the postcard in. And if your addressee does not have this program, then he will not be able to see the postcard, or it will open in a distorted form in another word processor. The expected pleasant experience will be spoiled.

But what to do? We will use a program for creating presentations - PowerPoint. A postcard created in PowerPoint can be saved as a picture and will be available for viewing on any computer and on the Internet.

How to make a postcard in PowerPoint

It only takes a few steps to create a postcard:

1 Open the program for creating PowerPoint presentations

First option

• Start - All Programs - Microsoft Office - Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 (you may have a different version, but it doesn't matter - all actions are universal)

Second option

• There is a search in the start menu. Start typing the name there Microsoft programs PowerPoint and if it is installed on your computer, you will see it in the search results.

2 Choosing a layout

Since we are using a program to create presentations, the markup will be present on the original slide. We don't need it. We remove.

Home - Layout - Blank Slide

3 Setting the background image

Let's take some beautiful drawing as a background for our postcard. Go to the tab Design - Background Styles - Background Format

In the settings window on the tab Fill select Pattern or texture

In the section Paste from: push the button File and select the desired picture from the folder. Click the button Insert and press the button Close in the window Background format.

The selected picture will be stretched to fit the slide. The background is ready.

Now you can do a little magic over our postcard to give it an even more original look. To do this, add a few additional elements to the slide: Santa Claus, the text of his congratulations and the title of our postcard. Well, to make it clear that congratulations from Santa Claus, let's make a callout for the text.

4 Add decorations and text

Let's get started. Insert a picture with Santa Claus.

We execute the command Insert - Picture and move it to the bottom left corner. We reduce its size a little.

Making a callout Insert - Shapes... Resize the shape to the desired size.

Now you can add the greeting text with the command Insert - WordArt. Choose a sample font for the text and replace it with our congratulations. Resize the text box to fit the leader.

We make the title of the postcard in the same way.

Well, the postcard is ready. It remains only to save it as a picture and you can send it by e-mail.

5 Save the postcard

To save, select the command File - Save As ... We give a name to the postcard and, most importantly, change the file type to JPEG picture

To search, go to Yandex. Select a search section Pictures(block 1). Enter a keyword - what image you are looking for. For example, the year of the pig is New Year's pictures. In the search suggestions, you can choose the most suitable query.

Filters can be used in the images found. Click Show Filters (block 2). An additional panel will open. Now we select the parameters for the selection of images.

We select drawings by size. We don't need large sizes for an e-card. Therefore, I advise you to put Average or Small... On the thumbnails of the pictures, you will see their true size.

What size is preferable? On average, most monitors are 1366x768. So try not to take larger pictures. Because when you insert it on a slide, it can close it entirely.

Choose the orientation yourself. Everything is clear here. But in Type of Don't choose a white background. It is easy enough to remove it.

But it is still better to choose a picture without a background. To do this, in the filter File choose PNG image.

Yandex will show pictures according to our selection criteria. In sketches, all pictures will have a white background, but this is not the case. Click on any of them for an enlarged view. Now, if on the background instead of white you see cells (chess), then this picture with transparent background.

It is preferable to use it for your collage. greeting card... Click on it right button mouse, choose a command Copy image and paste on the slide.

You can do the same in another search engine.

Create an animated postcard

The way to create a static postcard was described above, but you always want something more. Let's try to liven it up a bit and add falling snow. To create an animated picture, we need to work a little more and make several slides that differ from each other in the position of snowflakes on the slides. With a quick change of these slides, the effect of falling snow will be observed.

To save such an effect in a picture, you will need a different file format - GIF, which is capable of storing and displaying animation in the browser. But Power Point has no animation support when saving to this format. Therefore, in the presentation editor we will make blank frames, and to create animation from them we will use online service... Watch the video tutorial below.
