Greeting Postcard Card
Greet your friends and family members during special occasions or even on ordinary days through cards you made yourself. Nothing beats cards made the do-it-yourself way. You will not only exercise your creativity and be appreciated by your recipients for your action. Your recipients will surely feel extra special upon receiving cards that were a labour of love.
Card printing is one the easiest creative activities that you can delve into. On your spare time, you can carry out card printing using available materials found at home. You do not have to buy new paper stock or ink type. Save your money for other expenses. What you will need in card printing are the following: paper stock, ink, printer, and computer. Gather all these on your work area.
Before you proceed with the design and printing processes though, here are the parts of custom greeting cards that you need to keep in mind.
- Front
The front part of your card should grab attention. You can do this by putting a photo, a text, or a graphic design. You can include your own sketch or illustration on the front to make it personalized. You can also combine these design elements in making the front of your custom cards visually appealing. Take a look at the best design templates for cards to get inspiration. The front part sets the over-all tone of the card. Thus, one should carefully think about how the front cover would look like.
- Message
The message is located on the inside spread of cards, specifically on the right hand portion if the card is folded on the side. On the other hand, if it is folded from the top, the message is on the bottom portion. Some cards have blank inside spreads. It is up for the sender to create his or her own message. Other cards available in the market have simple messages inscribed. There are also those that have popular quotations and bible verses. The messages may be combined with images and other design elements.
- Back
The back part of the card may be left blank although card companies usually put several items on the black. These include the company name and logo as well as contact information.
Custom cards can also have additional parts. These include windows/flaps and pop outs. These components, which are optional, can reveal parts of the cards or make certain components move. One can also make the cards dynamic by incorporating sound. There are simple mechanisms in which sound can be played once the card is opened.
Now that you are familiar with parts of custom greeting cards, here are the steps you need to take:
- Choose any desktop publishing software, such as Adobe In-Design, PageMaker, or Photoshop, that you can use.
- Set the measurements for your custom cards. Finalize the format you want. These include the type of fold you will use as well as the additional parts you are going to include.
- Add design elements on the front and back as well as in the inside spread.
- Write your message. You can write long hand or type using any of the font styles available on your computer.
- Always print a sample of your custom cards, so you will know if there are any changes necessary.
