Create Cards For Every Occasion

How would you like to create your own personal, printable greeting cards such as Birthday cards, Christmas cards, Easter Cards and so on.....?

To make printable cards start with a Word- document in wide format (landscape) and divide it into 2 columns.

Then divide each of these columns also in 2. You now have 4 quarters.(See image on the left)

Also include some space between the left and right column so you can cut the card in two when ready. 

Now you ad your picture and text in the bottom half of the column. Because you have 2 columns, you can insert the same picture or a different one; see sample

You can also select the 2 top halves of the columns and give them a background color, but I don't recommend it, unless you print your card on white paper. Otherwise the background color may conflict with the color of the paper you are printing on.

There may be background colors that work well when printed on colored paper. It's your choice. It also depends on the colors of the photos your are using.

When printed, you then cut the page in half (=A5-size) and fold the card with the picture on the outside. The inside of the card is blanc for your message. But you can also print a message on the inside of the card. Then you have to insert the already printed and cut out card in your printer once again to include a message. Make sure that you insert it in the right way in your printer, or your text will end up in a place where you don't want it!
