Step 3: Select your predesign

Instructions: Avery Design and Print Online offers many predesigned templates for your cards.  In this example an Easter image is being used, however you can always choose a blank design which allows you to fully customise your own card.  You can add your own images and text whether you use a predesign or a blank template.

Step 4: Design your card

Instructions: You can now use all the features of Avery Design and Print Online to design your card.  Using the tools on the left of the screen you can add text, shapes, images (either images from the Avery gallery or photographs/images from your PC).  You can also add shapes to brighten up your card or even add a QR code - QR codes allow smartphones to scan the code and take the user to a predefined web page.

Step 5: Design the outside of the card

Instructions: Please note that when using the software the 'front' of the card is actually one side of the A4 sheet, which will be folded in half after printing.  So 'front' is where you create the 'outside' of the card when it is folded in half. If you are not sure which side of the card you have designed, use the print preview feature to double check.

Step 6: Design the inside of the card

Instructions: Please note that when using the software the 'back' of the card is actually one side of the A4 sheet, which will be folded in half after printing.  So 'back' is where you create the 'inside' of the card when it is folded in half (the area where you will write your message). If you are not sure which side of the card you have designed, use the print preview feature to double check.
