When you are finished designing your project, go to the Tool Bar or the File Menu and select Print.

Printing and Folding Envelopes

Caution: This program allows you to make fully coordinating envelopes on 8 1/2" by 11" sheets of paper. You should not try to use #10 envelopes or any other size envelopes in this program.

Both greeting card envelopes and letter envelopes print out with the corners grayed out and a small symbol illustrating a pair of scissors in the corners.

1. Cut out the gray areas by cutting along the lines.
2. Fold the inside flaps in toward the center of the envelope. These two small flaps will hold the large outside flaps together.
3. Run a glue stick along the inside flaps.
4. Fold the large outside flap up and attach it to the inside flaps. Now you've got a complete envelope. Just stuff it with your document, make the final fold with the upper flap, and seal the envelope with a gluestick. You're ready to mail!

Printing and Folding Greeting Cards

1. Fold the piece of paper in half so that the inside of the card is facing you.
2. Fold in half again so the outside is facing you. Open it up, and you've got a greeting card! (Hint: Try gluing the insides of the card together for a more traditional look!)

Printing and Cutting Pop-Up Cards

Each pop-up card has an optional black and white version that details its cutting and folding directions. At the bottom of the print dialog box, you will be given the option of printing this version first. If this is your first time cutting your design, you should choose this option. This will give you a practice sheet that you can cut and fold prior to creating the color version. Before printing, make sure that the printer is set to print in landscape mode.

Be careful not to place stamps on top of the main image of the inside spread in a pop-up card. When you cut and fold your pop-up, the added stamp graphic may be on one of the fold areas and thereby detract from the 3-D effect.

After you have printed the black and white version, simply follow the cutting instructions printed on the document. Save these instructions so that you may use them for your color printout. The instructions for cutting will not be on your color printout.

Hint: Solid lines should be "Cut-out," and dashed lines should be "Folded backward."
