Now that you have your work space up it is time to get started creating your project. Step Three: Selecting Backgrounds, Borders & Graphics Generally I prefer the half fold, (which means it is your card stock or other paper folded in half) because it gives you more space to work with and wastes less paper. If you are using a paper set for greeting cards or invitations such as products by Avery then you will want to choose the appropriate product number matching your paper otherwise, simply choose the generic “half fold” or “quarter fold” options. Once you have chosen the orientation, you need to designate the size of your project. Do you want the greeting card or invitation to be arranged horizontally where it you open the invitation from the bottom or vertically where it opens on the side. When you click on one of these options, you need to decide the orientation of your project.

Basically these will end up with the same basic results. Two of these options will be Greeting Cards and Invitations.

On the next screen you will get a list of options on the let side of the screen which are listed in alphabetical order. But for the creative soul, where is the fun in that? So you want to choose the “Design from Scratch” tab in order to start working with a blank canvas for your creations. You can choose the “Choose a Project” option to select form pre-designed greeting cards and invitations. To begin the process, simply launch your Print Artist program you have a couple of options.
