Your Trusty Co-pilot deserves a card, too.
B3 Social Cards aren't just for you and your car. If you have a fluffy co-pilot, they can have their very own spot of fame they deserve. With unique icons just for them, these cards are crafted to highlight your pet's favorite things, like walks or snacks.
Before you start..
Creating your card can be seriously taxing on the brain. Your pride and joy that you talk about to every person you see suddenly become a mystery as you decide which details you'd like to highlight. You have to choose the perfect photo, border color and let's not even get into the dreaded "card description" box.
So, we're here to help you along the way by giving you some tips and tricks on how to make your card top notch!
-Draft Notice-
We won't print your card until you approve the design. Many people decide to make some changes after seeing their first draft, which is totally ok, and we actually encourage.
Your draft will get sent as a private message on your social media platform. We even give you a follow while we're there.
So don't feel too pressured from the start, we can always change things!
1: Choosing your font style
Pick a font that you feel best describes you and your pet. There's plenty to choose from!
2: Base Style and Borders
We wanted to give you all a little more customization options with the face of the card without changing it too much. Pick from all white, white/black, all black or black/white layout styles.
Make your pet stand out with an eye-popping color. The border color really makes your card unique!
3: Picking your icons
There is no shortage of icons to choose from. With over 2 dozen mixed icons ranging from small pups, big doggos or kittens; you'll find 4 you like. And if not? well, we're open to expanding the list.
4: The details matter
When writing your icon descriptions, aim to include more detail. For example, instead of simply writing "Golden Retriever", consider something like "3 year old Golden Retriever". Adding these small but meaningful details helps others truly appreciate how adorable and unique your pet is. Take a moment to paint a clearer picture!
5: Card Description
We get it—the card description can be tricky to write. While we can't tell you exactly what to say, here are a few tips to help you out.
- Describe your pets' "personality"
- Try to sum up your fuzzy companion or what you two usually do together.
- Be creative and playful! Some of the best ones are comical.
6: Picture Perfect.
Your photo represents how everyone will perceive your pet, so choose wisely. Select the best photo you have, as it will be printed permanently. Make sure it meets a few essential criteria to leave a lasting impression.
- We use an aspect ratio of 1:1 / 4:3. It's okay if it's not that, we'll crop it to fit. Just make sure the photo isn't zoomed in on the pet too much!
- RESOLUTION! Please don't send us a 480p image of your pet. Our Cards are printed at 1200dpi and it will really let that low res shine. Most phones/cameras can handle the job. We'll reach out if the photo isn't usable.
- Photo Rights. Some photos may have been taken by a professional photographer. If your photo is watermarked, you NEED to have permission to use that photo for printing purposes. Have your photographer reach out to us.
*Photo submissions are done before the card to ensure ALL orders get their photo placed.
