(lynn) Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I am looking for any program or directions that will show me how to make folded greeting cards on a Mac. In PSE9 you have to pay extra to make the folded cards. I would like to make them half fold or quarter fold using only one sheet of paper. If there is no such program maybe we could have a class on making folded cards? (Flat cards are easy) Any ideas will be appreciated. mrh (Lynn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieB Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Lynn, I know there are templates in the boutique. I've done my own freehand, too, although on a pc. In your word processing program, you set normal margins on 3 sides, then make the 4th (left for the front page) really wide - 6 inches, I think. Set the inside of the card either as a second front page, or as three columns (middle one about 2 inches). Printing them so all the pages come out in the right direction is the tricky part. Hope this makes sense. Good luck with the cards. I hope someone else has some better ideas. Duh, Aggie - does your software have a card-making option?

April Showers Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I do them all the time. I did give some basic instructions in a newsletter several months ago. I'll try to find you a link. We also cover some card basics at our once a month Creative Cards Chat the first Tuesday of each month at 6 PM MT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 There was an article last week too... http://www.scrapgirls.com/NL/SG_News_111207_Wed_Hooked.html If you use a template that already includes a back it is even easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(lynn) Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thank you to all who sent suggestions for "folded cards". I hope to get some cards made soon and will try to attend Creative Cards Chat on 1st Tuesday of each month. Happy holidays to all --for whatever holiday you may celebrate. mrh-- Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
