Want a congratulations on your new job ecard that isn't a stock photo of a handshake? Make one where the new hire is the one dancing. On Tangy Limes you cut their face out of a photo, put it on a dancer, and for about 40 seconds they celebrate the offer letter while their mouth sings an original song.
You preview it free with their face already in it. Keeping it costs $1.99, once, and nothing renews.
The card: You Got the Job!
You Got the Job! fits two faces. The headline says CONGRATS, and you can type over it with whatever you want. After an intro with the names, here's the day they're having:
A bright modern office. Desks, big windows, confetti, smart blazers, and a high-five thrown way above their heads. It's day one. Enjoy it while it lasts.
A city sidewalk outside a tall glass building. Blazer on, strutting, bouncing, pointing at the building like they own it. They do not own it. They have a badge that opens one door.
A cozy coffee shop window. Sweaters, shimmying shoulders, joy that only makes sense if someone else is paying for the latte now.
A rooftop at night under string lights. Sparkly going-out tops, glasses raised for a toast, a city view. The first paycheck has not cleared yet. They are toasting anyway.
The faces are real photo cutouts. Nothing gets redrawn by AI, so they still look like themselves. Only the mouths open and close, which means your quiet friend who said "it's not a big deal" sings a whole song about how it's a big deal.
Who to put in it
Two dancers, a few good pairings:
- You and the new hire. You did help. You read the cover letter at midnight. You get a dance.
- Two friends who both got hired. Same week, same nerves, one card.
- The new hire, twice. Same face on both dancers. They're the whole team now.
- The new hire and their dog. Dog faces get found too, and a dog's face can go on any dancer. The dog is upset about the commute.
Any photo with a clear face works. A cropped group shot is fine. If the head looks too big for the blazer, shrink it, tilt it, or paint back hair the cutout clipped.
Headlines better than CONGRATS
Type over the headline with something that sounds like you:
- WELCOME TO THE PAYROLL
- YOU HAVE A BADGE NOW
- REPLY ALL WITH CARE
- CONGRATS ON THE FREE SNACKS
- SAY "CIRCLE BACK" ONCE AND WE'RE DONE
Then text the link with one line, like: "Made you a card. You're on a rooftop. Don't expense it."
If they just graduated too
Some people get the diploma and the job in the same month, which is rude to everyone else. For the diploma half there's You Did It, Big Shot, a two-face card that goes from a disco floor to a cheesy game show with a giant blank novelty check to a school gym graduation stage. Send that one first, then this one. There's more on it in funny graduation ecards.
How to make and send it
- Open You Got the Job! and add a photo of the new hire. Their face gets cut out for you.
- Pick who dances where, fix the cutout if it needs it, and type your headline.
- Watch the free preview with their face in it.
- Keep it for $1.99. Save it wide, phone-shaped, square or 4:5.
- Make a share link on the card page and text it.
The link opens a plain web page that plays the video, so they don't install anything or sign in to anything. You can also email it to up to five people from the card page, or download the MP4 and play it at the going-away drinks for the old job.
That's $1.99 per card with no subscription to forget about. Cheaper than the welcome lunch they'll pretend to enjoy.
