  • Inside Pages:
    • portrait style layout
      • inside left: the quote textfield
      • inside right: the greeting textfield
    • landscape style layout
      • inside top: the quote textfield
      • inside bottom: the greeting textfield

    Note: the back of the card is not designed for personalization

  • Font Faces: By design, each text field may be formatted with any font you have on your computer. We chose to use your local fonts over uploading fonts due to the high license fees. We do plan to offer a font variety in the future as revenues permit.
  • Font Sizes: Use the slider bar or the up and down arrows of the font size box to size your text.
  • Font Colors: Color appears differently to every eye, on every monitor and can differ dramatically from what you see on your screen to what is printed. Use the color box to select a color for your text by either pointing to the color or entering the hex value of your color choice.

Decorative Accents:

There are several borders to choose from to give the inside of your card an extra dash of color.

  • Choose a border: From the inside tab you have the option of selecting either the left or right side of the card inside. Choose the right side. You will now see the border samples. Select your border and choose a color by selecting the color dropdown box directly to the right of the borders box.

Printing:

Printing is a lot easier than you think. If you have a color inkjet printer, you can print our cards.

  1. Size: If you are printing from the US, you won't need to change the card size because the default selection is letter or 8 1/2 by 11.
    • Outside of the US: Choose the option A4 which measures 8.27 by 11.7 and is standard outside of North America. Your design will automatically scale to fit this paper size.

  3. Orientation: Check your printer's orientation and change it to match the orientation required in step 2.These setting can be found by selecting the print options or properties for your printer.

  4. Card stock paper is a heavier grade paper, usually 65 or 67 lb paper suitable for printing greeting cards .You will first print the cover page. When this page is complete reinsert the page to print the card inside.
  5.  

  6. We test printed on 3 color printers, two inkjets and one color laser. After printing the cover page, our first inket required us to flip the page and reinsert it into the printer to get the inside of the card to lineup correctly with the cover. The second inkjet from a different manufacturer required us or flip and turn the direction to print the inside page. The laserjet requires nothing more than just inserting the page back into the printer without flipping or turning. Due to the differences in printers, we suggest you do a test print with regular paper first to make sure your cover and inside text line up correctly.
