Printing Tips for Graduation Cards

____________________________________________________________

Tip number 1 - If using quality card, then cut plain printer paper the same size as
the card you are using and practice printing on it first.

Tip number 2 - If you are using pre-folded card then try marking your trial paper
with a cross on one side so that you can determine what is the correct way you
should be inserting your card into the printer.

Cheap or quality Blank Card

____________________________________________________________

Cheap Option - You could just use A4 printer paper and fold it.

More expensive option - buy some pre-folded card and matching envelopes (white is best)
from your local stationary store or buy them online from

Just use printer paper cut to size and glued in place for the inside verse though i.e. cut
the paper to the same size (or slightly smaller) as the opened card, fold it in the same
place and apply glue down one side of the fold and stick onto the card.

Accessories for Your Graduation Cards

Just like any outfit - the right accessories can really make a difference.

www.Photofetti.com - this great website can supply confetti in various colors, with
photos on it or even a few letters. A sprinkling of colorful confetti mixed with some
with the word "Congrads!" or even a little clipart image of a graduation cap on it would
be just the job.

Envelope Seals - Shindigz have a lovely selection of very affordable envelope seals.
