If your have Print Shop you got to cards and click from there. You can create your own or have the program help you. I always start from scratch. You can import stuff into the card from your own files. I keep my personal pictures and stuff I use in my documents in a folder. You can also use their graphics, there is a graphics button and you search there for what you want. There is a text box, you click on it and a text box comes up and you can size it to the size you want, pick your font and color and type in what you want. You just need to play around with it and if you have a question come back on here and ask it. Hope I helped a little. If you find a poem or saying you like and want to put it in the card just highlight what you want and right click, copy and go to your card and right click and paste. If you want a different size, font and or color just go to edit at the top and click select all and that will highllight it and then you pick your color, size and font.

It sounds like you wanted an actual program for your pc to replace your print shop program and not just a website to pick out pre made ecards. If so this one was suggested at techsupportalert forums as a good free program. I have never used it and only know what I read there. You can check it out here. Create personalized photo cards

Stephenei: What got me hooked was a section on home made cards in a Feb issue of either MM or CK magazine. And I REALLY got hooked! Card making has replaced (for the time being) scraping. As for ideas, I got some from the aforementioned magazine, some from looking at cards in card shops, and some from my own imagination. ItÂs amazing what creative creatures we can be when doing something we enjoy! One idea for an Easter card came from a quote I found onlineÂÂGive hugs, if you carrot at all! My sonÂs best friend calls me ÂAunt Carront, so I made a little card out of lime green card stock. I made three little carrots out of orange and brown card stock and cut thin strips of dark green card stock for grass. I attached the grass and the carrots to the front of the card with pop dots (for the 3D effect) and outlined the edges of the front of the card with thin strips of orange card stock. I made one large carrot for the inside to hold the latter part of the quote. It turned out to be a cute card and the idea came after seeing the quote. Other ideas come from looking through my materials and Âplaying with them,Âi.e., seeing what goes together. IÂve never scanned anything for use on the computer, but if you like, IÂd be happy to try and scan and post-to-you some of the cards I made to help you get started with ideas. I know what itÂs like to feel like...where do the ideas come from?! And once you get started, believe me, thereÂs no stopping!!!!!!! Also, some others have posted about tea-bag/paper folding which I have tried yet. As Sally said, when your scraping and stamping, the ideas just seem to flow. p.s. there are also books on card making and paper projects. My husband gave me one for a present and one was referenced in the magazine that I have been looking for but have yet to find. Hope this helps. karen

Is that the same as one of thoser "self-healing" mats to use with a roatry cutter. I haven't done any real card mnaking but when I need a really crisp fold, scoring is essential. I will ise a NEW Xacto blade and just let gravity be the weight applied... just drag blade along a straight edge to barely scrt=atch the surface, as they say. Found an interesting site earlier today. Not car making but paper crafting and scoring will be required. Check out www.babbledabbledo.com/paper-toys-flextangles! Looks fun and relatively easy.
