Postcards have been a favorite way to send someone a message for many years. With today's technology and software, it's simple and easy to make postcards by using a home computer and a printer. You can even personalize it with actual photos of you and your loved ones. Receiving a hand made, customized postcard is sure to make anyone smile.
There are a few different ways to make your own postcards in a matter of minutes. You can either glue a photo to a postcard sized piece of paper, or you can print pictures or clip art from your home computer. The following is a basic guide line on how to make them using digital photos.
1. Think about what you want on the front of the postcard. It can be a photo from your digital camera that has been loaded on the computer, or it can be from a collection of clip art. As long as the final picture wanted on the postcard is 4 inches by 6 inches, it will work just fine.
2. After purchasing the necessary paper for the postcard, load it in your printer and print the illustration on the paper. If a photo is used, glossy paper can make the postcard even more special.
3. When you have finished printing the photo or clip art desired, fill out the other side with the information needed such as yours and the recipients name and address. Don't forget to jot a few lines to the person you are sending it to and put a stamp on it. In just a few days, your postcard will arrive at its destination.
It's easy to let another person know you are thinking about them. Just jot a line or two on a postcard designed and made by you. Although postcards can be found at any store, it is a little more personal when you make postcards for someone.
