Creating Your Own Computer Greeting Cards

Article:After literally groping with all the complexities of my IBM Activa multi media computer as a novice, I am finally being initiated into the world of cyberspace.

It is a haunted place, because its walls are papered with computer manuals written in an alien language, terms unlisted in Webster's Dictionary, and projectiles called Internet, Prodigy, E-Mail and Networks paved with Hong Kong dollar bills. What a forbidden place until Windows 95 for Dummies and the other Dummies books came to press. Kermit the Frog has also dived into the computer literature pond.

After century seeming months of frustrations, I have finally conquered the fear and mastered sufficient computer skills to create, among other things, greeting cards, such as a panda greeting card that rocks. Unity marketing in the industry news has reported on consumer sales of greeting cards. Greeting card making is fun and even easier using the computer's Document or Word Pad program and a digital or laser jet color printer.

Printing can be done on card smooth card stock package of one hundred sheets and fifty pastel invitation envelopes, which can be purchased from an office supply store. Each sheet makes two greeting cards. On the cover of the card is pasted one of my favorite salon accepted photos taken on my around the world sojourns.

To make the greeting text on the card there are some easy steps that can be followed, which will make it a lot easier for you. First, start by turning on your computer and printer. Next, click on the Document or Word Pad program, which has the Times New Roman with a twelve inch font preset. Type the greeting texts on the right hand half of the page being sure to leave proper margins so greeting is centered.

With the mouse, click on File, then click on Print. The card stock is fed into the computer manually because of its thickness, doing so at one page at a time. Remember that the printer needs to be set on manual feed. Print six copies in all to get twelve cards printed with one of the two greetings that you have decided to use. With the mouse by pressing the X to exit, but be sure to indicate that you want to the two greetings for further use. Finally, you are ready to turn off your computer.

After printing, the card stock sheets are then cut in two horizontally to make two cards from each sheet. Each half is then folded to make one card with the greeting on the inside. Original photographs taken by the maker are pasted on the outside using a glue stick. The photographs are salon accepted photographs from travels or photographs of original paintings done by a friend.

For example, the photograph you call Doll with Parasol was not posed for and was taken in Beijing, China, on your first visit to that country. This grab shot of a Chinese youngster strolling along with her friends, showing an innocent, childlike expression, has won many acceptances from friends and family in the past. Now, repeat all the steps to make new greeting cards, because you have made greeting cards on the computer to send for all occasions.
