To avoid a white border on the left side of the front of your card, we wrap some of the design to the back. This is the intended look of the card and cannot be adjusted. If too much of your card is wrapping to the back, you may need to adjust your printer settings.

To remove the American Greetings website address and page numbers from your card, turn off headers and footers in the printer settings. We’ve provided detailed instructions on how to turn them off for each web browser. Please see the FAQ for "How do I adjust my browser to the recommended print settings?".

We’ve provided two editable lines of text on the back of your card so you can let your recipient know the card was created by you. You can also add a small photo.

If the inside of your card isn’t printing, please check the printer’s settings for your browser and make sure the default is set to double-sided printing.

If this doesn’t work, the printer may not support double-sided printing. You will need to select “Single-sided Printing” and manually flip the paper and reinsert it after the first side prints.

We provide on-screen instructions to walk you through this process.

After selecting “Print,” you can change your desired card fold on the left side of the “Prepare your printout” box. You will see the change immediately in the print preview.

Our card designs are best suited for printing on letter-sized paper, but we also support A4.

You can choose your paper size during the first step of the print process and in your printer settings. If you have selected your desired paper size but the card still isn’t fitting your paper, make sure the scale in the printer’s settings is set to 100%.

If you need assistance with adjusting your print settings, please see the FAQ for “How do I adjust my browser to the recommended print settings?”.

To add a signature to your card, click the “Add a signature” box. You can then choose to type or draw a signature.

Some cards can be customized by adding a photo. To add your photo, click on the “Your photo here” box on the card and then click “Upload.” You can then choose a photo from your device to upload.

Don’t worry if you do not add a photo. The card will not print with the “add a photo box” message.

Share more memories by adding more photos! Now you can add up to five photos per Creatacard™! Click on the “Layout” button on the bottom of your card to get started.

Select the card you want to send and click “Personalize” to make it special. The custom card maker will guide you step by step through the process.
