1. How do I insert my images into the holiday card templates? Although there are literally a dozen ways to do it, we highly recommend that you use the "clipping mask" method in Photoshop. Here's how it works:
1. Open the holiday card template into Photoshop and click on the layer "IMAGE LAYER" to highlight it in your LAYERS palette (if it is highlighted, it should appear in blue). 2. Open the image you would like to insert into the template. 3. Using the MOVE tool (Keyboard shortcut "V") drag your image onto the holiday card template. Your image should now appear directly above the "IMAGE LAYER" in your LAYERS palette. 4. Now, choose LAYER -> CREATE CLIPPING MASK from the top menu in Photoshop. 5. Your image will now be within the bounds of the box. To resize/reposition your image correctly within the frame, choose EDIT -> FREE TRANSFORM from the top menu and drag in the handles that appear on each side. Make sure to hold down the Shift key while dragging to maintain perspective. Repeat these steps for any subsequent templates. |
2. I'd like to see more of the designs. Do you have a place where I can see the front/inside/back of all of the templates? Yes! By popular demand, we have added a page here where you can see the full templates, including the front, inside, and back.
3. Where did you get the little boxes featured in the pictures? Those adorable little gift boxes were found in the gift wrap section at Joanne Fabrics. They come as plain white boxes which we then decorated with a lovely black ribbon, also from Joanne's, and daisy stickers from the Martha Stewart line of crafts.
4. Where do I get the fonts that you used in the holiday cards? As you know, fonts are protected under copyright and we cannot include them in the download folder. We try to only design our templates with fonts that are easily obtainable online for free, from various sources. Currently, here are some links to the fonts (if you find that links are expired or no longer offer the fonts please contact us so we may update):
