The presents are all over, papers spilled out, scissors dangerously dangling over the counter. Someone is in the middle of this mess. That “someone” might be YOU. So grab coffee or whatever, and be prepared to sit down for a spell, because...WE’RE MAKING GREETING CARDS!! (Using microsoft publisher!)
So. Let me guess. You went to the store, last-minute, and decided to get some cards for your friends, family, you know the drill. But, you come to find out that there are none left. Zero. Zilch. NADA. You go to 3 more stores, and find the same thing. “Who's the greeting card bandit!” you thought. If this comes to your mind, you’ve lost it. By “it”, I mean the cards..
You come home worried and stuff, and you check out my blog. (Yipee!) And what do you find? How To Make A Greeting Card Using Microsoft Publisher! Thinking that all hope is NOT lost, you begin reading it..(after a VERY long intro)
Microsoft. Word. Publisher. Looks like this.
If you have a PC or a MAC, go right to downloading! But, if you have a chromebook, and other gadgets, forget about it. There might be other options… Let’s take a quick detour...
How to make your own card using..PAPER. Take paper fold it halfway, then fold it halfway from the other side. TA-DA!! Now write stuff!
Back to Business. If you have one of the compatible devices, take your time to download the publisher. May I recommend:
Once you’re done downloading, go to templates and pick Built-in, then click greeting cards. There are different designs to pick, and after you choose one, click create! Go to the last page of your card, and it should say Made By: Your Name. Enter your name in the box, and start “decorating!” Add pictures, symbols and whatever you want for the occasion.
When done, click print. When printed, fold it into a 2x2 paper, and you’re done!! By choosing a different template, you can make your own calendar, and other interesting designs!
Keep Printing & have fun!!
NOTE: Thanks to my technology teacher, Mrs. Wayles for introducing MS Publisher to our class!
