I cannot believe it!
“I” Lauren Meader, computer challenged paper crafter made my very FIRST Digi card! The photo at the top is of the set of 4 I did, boxed together). Individual cards are shown below.
What is SO great about that?
Well Im so computer challenged, that its a miracle I can email, let only use a digi kit!
After seeing the stamp set pre-view of Eat Cake on Nichole’s blog ——>here, I HAD to try it out.
She posted step by step directions for using these kits ——> HERE,
Let me tell you those visuals and everything were SO good even “I” could do it! Im a very visual person and often dont need/use directions I just pull it apart visually-so THANKS NICHOLE!! Your instructions were PERFECT!
I downloaded them all-after making sure I did the first one right.
Now MY PROBLEM!
I dont have a fancy editing software like Microsoft Word, but I DO have Word Pad. I know you can laugh-thats not even real editing software! LOL!
BUT you can still use these kits.
If you are like me and dont have it, just follow Nichole’s directions in Chapter 1
then for chapter 2 here is what I had to do.
1) Went into my files and opened them up. As reccommened, I had created a seperate file for the Digi kits to make it easier to find
2) Right clicked on image I wanted-clicked “Open with” , then went to PAINT.
3) Clicked on image in paint, then Ctrl a, Ctrl c. (this means the control button plus the letter)
4) Opened a window with Word pad. Clicked in there, then did CTRL v.
Now you can make duplicate images (move cursor and click CTRL v again), or make the images smaller or larger-whatever you need! WAY COOL! Prints in seconds!!
I used my Papertrey Ink-White cardstock in my printer.
I made FOUR cards using the downloads from this free kit-
ALL supplies are from Papertrey Ink Eat Cake Download (including patterned paper).
The cardstock was also Papertrey Ink White. I used flower punches and ribbon for other accents.
Here they are!
Just click on each photo for a larger view!
Pretty cool huh? I was quite proud. All 4 cards took 1 hour! That includes the printing and editing :D.
I had so much fun doing these.
Dont get me wrong -I still NEED my stamps! This was just a fun alternative. And since I want the new set-it tied me over a little bit till the 15th.
I made these for a friend who I bought a Digital Photo Calendar making kit. I thought I should make her cards digiatl too to show it can be easy. AND she can give them as gifts to everyone ;D
Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think-or if you tried it send me a link.
Did you see the Riendeer Kit? OMWord! I NEED that reindeer made into a stamp!!!
OK off to get the kids Christmas photos done.
Wish us LOTS of good smiles-at the same time!
