Hvala Vam na čestitki


Explanation:
The English language doesn't make the distinction between the informal "you(ti)" - when you are on familiar, close, friendly or equal terms with somebody, and the formal "You (Vi), to You (Vama) - which shows your mutual respect, but also social distance between two people.

Card may be translated either as razglednica (postcard) or čestitka (greeting card).

So you can choose what suits you better:

Hvala ti na razglednici
Hvala Vam na razglednici

or

Hvala ti na čestitki
Hvala Vam na čestitki

Hvala Vam na karti


Explanation:
Formally, "Vam" must be with a capital "V". Informally, you can use "ti" instead of "Vam", so it will be "Hvala ti na karti". However, if you want to show appreciation for something else that you received, as might be gathered from the context, you will say "Hvala Vam na poklonu" (gift), etc. Each situation will require a slightly different expression of gratitude.
