Realistic Greeting Card Mockup

If you’re presenting a postcard, this greeting card mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Useful for Etsy sellers as much as for wedding stationers. Tip: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.
Clients sign off faster when they can picture the finished piece, and a flat PDF rarely does that as well as a photo of the card. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.
Good for
- A postcard
- A wedding invitation
- A thank-you card

Editable options in the Realistic Greeting Card Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
- Paper or background colour
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
Add your design to the Realistic Greeting Card Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: export your artwork at the size the smart object asks for; scaling a small file up is the usual reason print mockups look soft.
Ways to use this Realistic Greeting Card Mockup
- Make two or three colour versions of a thank-you card and let the client pick.
- Show a greeting card on your online shop or product page.
- Present a postcard in a client proposal or brand guide.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this card mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mr.Mockup. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the card?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Can I show both sides?
It depends on the file. Many print mockups include a front and a back smart object; the preview usually shows whether both sides are visible.
