352 How to Do Everything: Digital Camera
If you don??™t have one of those programs, you can still make your own greeting cards in
a program like Microsoft Publisher or Microsoft Word. Because Word is the lowest common
denominator??”almost everyone has it??”let??™s create a card in that. Before we get started, though,
it??™s worth pointing out that you can make a greeting card on the PC in two common methods: the
single-fold and the dual-fold.
Single-fold cards are simply made from 8.5?—11-inch paper or cardstock and folded once
down the middle, so the card measures 5.5?—8.5 inches. This is a slightly oversized card, but it??™s
the one I usually use. The alternative is a dual-fold card that??™s folded once lengthwise and again
widthwise, for a card that measures 5.5?—4.25 inches. The disadvantage to this kind of card is it??™s
a bit small and it has a potentially ugly double-fold along one edge (see Figure 16-5).

images into their greeting card templates.

program.
