A Card for Mom

Mother's Day is coming up and The Print Shop 3.5 can help you make a really special card. Follow these instructions for an easy to design and print card.

You can print it as is, but let's make it extra special with a little editing, starting with the text. I changed the font to 'Regency Bold'. The brown rectangle can be replaced with a ribbon. You can find it in the ClipArt gallery, keywords: Dijon (Dijon 2.jpg).

To really make this a card your mother will treasure, add a personal photo. It can be a recent one or perhaps you can find a photo of your mother with you as a baby. Scan and import it to this project. I added a shadow and used the arrange tools to "tuck" the photo under the ribbon.

Leave the inside blank. Print. Fold the card in half, then trim off the white edges for a full-bleed look. Handwrite a heart-felt sentiment on the inside. Moms love that kind of thing!
