TIPS: Make Card Fronts to create more cards. This is especially useful when creating bulk cards. When ready to use, simply adhere the card front to plain white cardstock base or pre-made card bases. Create Postcard-style cards Use the photos of the cards for placement of elements Inking edges can help define layers, but is optional Use your computer to create letters, words and sentiments Alter Chipboard with paint, ink, markers, cardstock or patterned paper even color with crayons Some elements in the kits vary in style, but making substitutions just personalizes your cards Using left-overs and the same designs will produce different cards by simply altering an element: butterflies instead of hearts. Or a different sentiment tag. How to create block letters or words on your computer using MicroSoft Word In a new document, insert a text box. You can create one box for the word(s) or you can create individual boxes for each letter. Drag the box to an approximate length to fit your sentiment (you can adjust it as you go) Type in your desired sentiment or letter.
