Pick a ready-made card, type your own message, and print it or save it as a PDF. These steps work in The Print Shop 9 and in PrintMaster 2027.

  1. Find a design. On the Home window choose Ready-Made Projects and search for "Christmas" (or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year). Open the card you like.
  2. Look through the pages. A card opens on the front. Click the page strip on the left to see the inside and the back.
  3. Write your message. Click the verse, select the words and type your own, for example "Merry Christmas from the Bennett family".
  4. Make it yours. Click a picture or the Photos panel on the right to swap in a family photo.
  5. Check it. Choose Preview in the Print group to see the page as it will print.
  6. Save and print. Click Save to keep it in My Projects, then Print. For e-mail, use Export and save a PDF.
