Having the ability to go to the nearest drug store, or something similar, has made some people less willing to want to order their cards and the like online. Why do that when they can do it at home...and for free. Photo Card Maker is such a software.

Steps

  1. Download and install the software.
  2. Once installed, open up the program.
  3. Pick a template. You can do this a couple of ways.
     
    1. Select a template from the categories offered. The categories are cartoon, Christmas, general, holiday, seasonal, sport, travel, and others. Each of these contains 4 templates to choose from.
    2. Import templates. Go to the website of the software creator and download their zipped templates. No need to 'unzip' them, the software does it for you.
      • 'Select template' and then select one. Once this is done, you will have substantially more templates to choose from. Each has category has 12 or more to choose from.
  4. Select a digital photo from your computer]]Once you have your template selected, get a photo or photos. Depending on what your card is 'about', will probably affect your choice of photographs.
  5. Notice that when you have added the photo that it appears to be floating on top of the card. You will need to make it the right size to fit into it. Once you have that done, click off of the picture, and it will go 'under' the card. 
  6. To change and edit the button, simply click on the button that says text.
  7. When completed, your finished project will save as a .JPG which you can take to the store to have printed out for your friend(s).
