Inserts for Cards

[sharron246]

A quick tip for inserts. for odd sized card.

Print an outline shape that is the same size as your card.

Add text and what ever else to this shape.

Print this out, then simple cut so using the inside of the box as a guide.

you have no lines but a perfect insert for your cards.

I usually work Sharron's way for odd sizes too - it's virtually foolproof! I make most of my inserts in Serif Page Plus. If I'm making a batch of inserts or an making a size I use regularly, I'll often pre-cut my papers to size, set up and save a template in Page Plus, type my text and set up a custom page size for my printer to print off. The only thing I don't seem to be able to do is save my custom sizes on the printer...

Any word processing or desk top publishing package should allow you to make custom page templates, and possibly set up guidelines or boxes for a cutting template too.

Thankyou so much,
I recently had to format my computer, saved all my templates for inserts but we installed 2003 word on computer instead of 2007, so they would not read, so of course I am back to starting to make templates again.
I of course could not remember how I made them, silly me, so this tutorial is very useful.
When I have made it, I also save a blank as template in both portrait and landscape, so when making new insert for different occasions use these and then save as what I have made. Found this the best so I did not accidently save over a previously made template. Hope that makes sense.

The best programme to use on you computer is Microsoft Word. There you can create your in-serts.
