Of course you can simply select a
ready-made card, and print it off as is. However, don't limit
yourself to looking for only "finished" cards in a specific layout
and category. The fun is in making your card unique,
reflecting your style, and bringing a smile to those important
people in your life. Print Shop's tens of thousands of
images, and assorted tools, help you create that perfect
card.
For example, if it's a quarter-fold card you want to make, look
through the hundreds of quarter-fold layout thumbnails. Choose one
that you like the way the elements have been arranged. Then go
through the Clip Art gallery for Christmas images. So many hundreds
of beautiful ones to choose from. Replace elements on the layout
with your selected images from the Clip Art gallery.
You can create unique and beautiful cards that are simple to
assemble because the positioning of the elements is already
suggested by the ready-made template you picked.
Here is the Print Preview of one of
the Ready-Made quarter-fold cards:
Let's go panel by panel and turn this
design into something "Christmassy".
The front of the card. First,
I'll change the background colour fill from blue to
golden-yellow.

background)
Then I'll swap the images for
Christmassy ones from the Clip Art gallery.
The inside of the card.
The back of the card.
So be inspired by some of the
Ready-Made templates, then have fun choosing images and make your
card special.
