| DESCRIPTION | Turn your child's art into notecards | ||||
| DETAILS |
First, I scanned the photos on our printer/scanner. I then used
Photoshop to size and crop the images, including the card-back images/name. Note: any photo processing application can be used. I've had the best luck printing using Word rather than through Photoshop or Windows Preview, so that it doesn't mess with resizing the images to fit the printer paper. So I rotated the images on their sides in Photoshop. I then pasted the front and back images into Word, side-by-side so that the images came out correctly when I folded the paper. I sent them through the printer, and then rotated the page and sent them through again so that I got two cards per page. (I could probably print both cards on a page at a time if I replicated the images on the page in Word.) It takes a little fiddling to make sure the images come out centered properly, since many of the images are different dimensions (depending upon the paper your child uses for their artwork.) I used Avery Note Cards paper stock, which is perforated for printing two cards per page. I actually use a paper-cutter for a cleaner edge, but use the perforated mark as a guide. The note cards come with envelopes, so the rest is putting them together however you want to present them. |
