Making Unusual Birthday Cards Or Christmas Cards

• Save Your Chosen Year Print To Local Computer
• Buy Ready Made Birthday / Christmas Card Stock IE Card stock that has been scored to make fold clean( I Like Avery 3378 comes with Cards and Envelopes ) Available at most office supply stores. ( You can use ordinary card stock but I found it difficult to create a nice neat fold, but it can be done if you want to )
• Go To Avery Website [Choose Design and Print Online Option ] put 3378 into product number box and Choose Design you like ( I always choose design with large photo on front and use change image from file ), the software will guide you through the process, It is pretty simple to use and the resulting cards look pretty cool, unusual and make a great talking point.
• You can also try the Hallmark website who offer similar options to make your own cards using Hallmark Card Stock.
• This is an ideal craft type project for school children as it can be cheap and provides an unusual card for an older relative.
• If you would like us to create a set of unusual Christmas Cards ( Minimum Order 20 but can be different years ) please use our contact form further down the page, due to the time required and cost of special card 20 Christmas cards with different years is $50.00

Other Possible Options
If you have an HP PC or an HP Printer one of the cheapest and easiest options is to download a free program called "HP Photo Creations", the basic options are free and easy and no registration required, but if you wish to use the fancier templates you will need to register.
You can also use Google's Picasa which now includes an editor where you can add text.
If you are lucky enough to have access or own MS Publisher it is great for making Birthday cards, Christmas Cards plus many other great ideas. .
There are also other applications you can buy at your local Walmart or Best Buy ranging in price from pretty cheap to very expensive so ask others who have more knowledge for their advice.
There are a large number of Online Card Making Web sites where you can add photos etc. ( Be Careful of some though as the cost to use can be your e-mail address sold to thousands of companies so check Usage TOS ).


Making Large Posters
Most companies who will print the poster in large size will charge depending on how many colors ( Due to the process ) These posters will print in large size OK but my advice is to make the graphic black and white which will save quite a bit of money in costs Steve



Additional Uses for Care Facilities and Non Profit Organizations
During the last 3 months a number of our visitors have used our new Prints in Care Facilities as an activity to help to stimulate the mind for dementia patients, those suffering from Alzheimer's and those suffering with loss of memory in their later years.

We would like to offer care facilities and non profits around the United States who contact us a set of 10 printed, laminated prints ( Years Included 1931, 1941, 1946, 1951, 1961, 1966, 1971, 1981, 1986, 1991 ) to use as an activity for evaluation for free

All we ask is you take the time to give us feedback, how they were used and patient feedback and any ideas of how we can improve the prints. Please use our contact form if you would like to be included. Steve Webmaster The People History.

You are also more than welcome to print off a few prints and try them yourself. ( Most Stationary stores who offer the service will Print and Laminate the Prints for between $2,20 to $2.80 for each print )
