Personalised Hand made thank you cards

(5 Posts)
I have made a few myself in the past, if you take the time you can make up your own template and print directly onto the cards, or if not its a case of printing of your photo's cutting them to size and layering them onto a card.

Sorry, I thought I had a few on my blog but can't seem to find them at the moment, but shout if you need any more help. I made my templates up, by trial and error, in Excel.

Do you have a suitable printer? Does it print on card OK as well as printing photos?

It depends on how many you need. If it's just a few, and you've got something like Microsoft Publisher, it has loads of templates. If it's for a special occasion you might want to invest in some photo paper.

If it's easier, or you want to push the boat out, look at the Truprint website.
or print out your photo and stick it on to a blank card.
Either photobox is a good place or if you on an Apple Mac then go to the photo page and you can do it all from there.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]
For a no comment face,  , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
