Inserts
for C5 card Well
this is how I do mine, so here it goes. 1. Open new page on Microsoft word, 2.Change
page layout to landscape 3.
Add 2 columns, you will then have to move spacer bars to 1cm at both sides. This
will give you 2 even spaced columns. And will make the insert centralised 4.
Now to add a picture Go
to goggle click on images, and choose an image i.e. if you are doing a
wedding card look for wedding bells/wedding flowers/wedding rings. When
the little box appears with the image in it, click on See full size image
“which is next to the image in red”, when the image has opened larger, copy image and paste to your left column,
centralise the image and drop down to centre of sheet, Now
drop down until you jump over to the right column. And type your poem or
greeting, choose a colour ink to match the image, choose your font size and
font you like, centralise the greeting and drop down to centre of sheet, and
print See picture below
Your
page will be slightly to big to fit inside your card so fold in half and
trim 3 mm from sides and 3mm from either top
or bottom of the insert, use a corner or a boarder punch to add some pretty
detail. Hope this helps anyone struggling with there inserts Yvonne |
