How it works

Three steps. One whole first year.

Set it up once. After that it all happens on your phone, at the shower, at the doctor’s office or on the living room floor, with or without a signal.

01

Add your baby

Type your baby’s name, birthday and birthplace, once. Every card carries them on the back, with how old your baby was that day. Not born yet? Use the due date and the card counts down to it.

02

Card each moment

Take the photo, drop it in, pick the moment, a color and a scene. The card is made on your phone in seconds. No signal needed.

03

Share the set

Send cards to the grandparents and your friends, post them, or keep the whole numbered set in your vault. One link lets everybody at the shower add their own photos.

Scenes

Put your photo in front of a scene.

Pink balloons, blue balloons, a teddy bear in a bow, a soft sky of clouds and stars. Pick one to go behind your photo, or keep a plain color. All eight are free.

Every scene works with every color, and you can change it any time before you save the card.

No signal, no problem

It works when your signal does not.

A hospital room, a church hall, a basement shower and grandma’s living room all eat your signal. Making a card never needs it. Here is exactly what works with no signal, and what has to wait.

✦ Open it once, at home.

The Studio saves itself to your phone the first time you open it with a signal. Do that on your home wifi, then add it to your home screen. After that it opens with no signal at all.

  1. Open CardMyBaby in your phone’s browser while you still have a signal.
  2. Add it to your home screen. On iPhone, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap Install.
  3. Open it once from the icon. Turn on airplane mode and try it. If the Studio opens, you are set.
✦Works with no signal
  • Taking the photo and dropping it in
  • Cropping, zooming and reframing
  • Every layout, color, scene and finish
  • Making the card and numbering the set
  • Saving it to your vault
  • Saving the picture to your photos
  • Handing it phone to phone with AirDrop or Quick Share
✦Waits until you are back online
  • Texting, emailing or posting it
  • Opening the code on someone else’s phone
  • Signing in on a second device

Nothing is lost while you wait. It sits in your vault until the signal comes back.

✦ How a first year actually goes

1. Add your baby at home and open the Studio once. 2. Make a card whenever a moment happens, signal or not. 3. Hand them round phone to phone, or post them when you are back online. 4. The whole set is already in your vault, with your baby’s name on it.

Photo looks

Color, or black and white.

Choose a look in the Studio and the card changes around your photo. It all happens on your phone, with no signal.

Front and back

The back tells the story.

Turn a card over and it says whose first year it was: your baby’s name, birthday and birthplace, how old they were that day, the moment, the date, and a code that opens the card on anyone’s phone.

The details

What makes it a keepsake.

These are not party graphics. Every card carries the marks collectors put on the real thing.

Numbered sets

Card 7 of 8. A card for every moment of the pregnancy and the shower, or every month of the first year.

The set tracker

One small diamond for every card in the set. Yours is the one filled in.

A man kneeling with his ear against his smiling wife’s bump in their living room, on a sky blue keepsake card with blue balloons and gift boxes
Unique card ID

A serial built from your baby’s name and the year, like HANA-2026. No two alike, ever.

The holder’s name

“This card belongs to…” because it is theirs, not another photo dump.

Ways people use it

Make it. Hand it round. Keep it.

A first year is a lot of small moments you will want back. A card is a way to hold on to the ones you would tell people about.

✦The first-year set

One numbered set from the announcement to the first birthday. Twelve cards, twelve months, all in the colors you pick.

✦The baby shower

Send one link and everybody at the party can add their own photos to your set, no account needed.

✦The announcement

Tell the grandparents with a card: the sofa, the tiny booties, the news. Card number one of the set.

✦The gender reveal

Card the powder cloud, the balloons, the second you all found out, with the friends who were there.

✦Coming home

The car seat at the front door. The first photo of the three of you. The card that starts the year.

✦The gift for family far away

Send the set to the grandparents and cousins who could not be there. Every card carries your baby’s name, the date and the moment.

Your cards do not expire. The serial and the code stay valid, so a card made today still opens in ten years. Photo projects elsewhere quietly disappear when a subscription lapses or an app shuts down. These do not.

CardMyBaby is digital only. It does not print or mail anything. Every card is a picture on your phone that you can share, post or print wherever you like.

Questions

Before you start.

Is this only for the first year, or for pregnancy and baby showers too?
All of it. There are moments for the announcement, the bump, the gender reveal, the baby shower and the nursery, then the birth day, coming home and every stage of the first year up to the first birthday.
Does it really work with no signal?
Yes, once you have opened it with a signal first. Open CardMyBaby on your phone and add it to your home screen. After that, making, numbering and saving cards all happen on your phone. Sharing needs a connection, which you can do later.
Do I have to install an app?
There is no app store download. CardMyBaby is a web app you add to your home screen. On iPhone, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap Install.
Are my baby's photos uploaded?
No. Your photo stays on your phone. Only the finished card is uploaded, and only when you share it or save it to an account.
Who can see my baby's cards?
Only the people you share them with. A card is not listed anywhere and search engines do not find it. Anyone who has a card's link or scans its code can open that one card, so share it the way you would share a photo.
Do you print cards?
No. CardMyBaby is digital only. You can save any card as a picture and print it wherever you like.
What if I lose my phone?
Cards saved to your account follow you. Sign in with your email on a new phone and they are all there.
Is a card an official record?
No. A card is a keepsake. Its serial number is not a birth certificate or any official record, and CardMyBaby is an independent service, not affiliated with or endorsed by any hospital, brand or company.
Is it free?
Yes. The Studio is free, and every layout, color and scene is free with the Standard look, as many cards and sets as you like. Premium (the gold foil, the coin, the arch photo and the premium card back) comes with the Baby Pass: $9.99 once for one baby. It does not renew.
What does the $9.99 Baby Pass cover?
One baby. Every card you make for that baby, from the announcement to the first birthday, can use Premium, as many cards and sets as you like. The pass stays with that baby: a due date can change to the real birthday, and the name can change once if the baby is named after you buy. A different baby is a new $9.99. It is paid once and does not renew.
Can I delete my account and my cards?
Yes, at any time, from inside the Studio or from cardmybaby.com/delete-account. Nothing has to be requested by email.
“A camera roll full of baby photos, or one numbered set you will actually show people.”
