Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

St Chris - Sorry I'm not sure just what help you need, is it how to position the text on the page? That would depend on what sort of programs you have on your pc say, Word, or similar, or is it the typeface you need help with? The link you posted led to this page: http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/scriptina.htm where you could down load the font to your pc. If you could be more specific I'll try to help.....

I like the font on this one,

but what i was thinking of is there a programe, which i could print say a full sheet of toppers or do i have to do them individually on each card.

sorry for being a bit thick, but i've never used the word programe before only for writing letters.

thanks again

Saint Chris do you have Microsoft Publisher within your Office suite at all? This program will help you position the text for your cards exactly where you want it. Have you decided what size cards you wish to make? The position of the text will depend on what size you set the initial layout on. Practice first on cheap printer paper before you waste any card. If you are going to print your own cards I believe Joanna Sheens forum has a link to printing in gold or silver. Obviously not metallic but a fair replica.

You should be able to find butterflies in a digital download which these may be with an extra one cut and placed on top. You should be able to print loads on one sheet. Martha Stewart does a fab butterfly punch which perhaps you could use instead. Have you tried asking the Do Craft card designer for some help.

The font on the butterfly invite looks quite similar to Bradley Hand it should be there in your font list, if not, I can email it to you. Thank you for the links to the big wedding font, I've been looking for something like that.

rainmac did you get the x-cut paper trimmer or the guillotine? I'm going to buy one as my big cutter won't cut smaller than a two inch opiece of card and if I need a couple of small mats, well, you know I can't cut for tuppence.

I have used Microsoft Word to print wording either directly onto a card or printed lots onto one sheet of A4 and then cut them out and stuck onto cards. To print directly onto a card is trickier as you need to 'tell' Word the measurements of your card and position the card the right way on the printer. Making your own greeting 'toppers' is easier but both are achievable with some practice

Took DS2 to GP and he doesn't have slapped cheek but does have a cold-related virus which is causing the blotches on his face. He's much brighter this morning so is on the road to recovery already.

Made a card and finished a few coaster things last night so will post some pics late.

Hope everyone's ok
