How do I print my card?

Please make sure that you are signed in to your AmericanGreetings.com membership and follow these steps: Click on Printables at the top of our site. Choose a card and click the "Personalize" button. Once the card loads, you will have the option to fully customize and edit the features of the card. Including adding text and photos. When you are ready to print your card or project, click "Preview and Print" and follow the on-screen instructions that appear. Alternatively, you can choose "Preview and Share" to send your card electronically. Please be aware that your project may have a white border once it is printed; however, this will not affect the personalizations that you have added to your project. Also, please be aware that we do not offer the option to print an envelope for the New Printables but you can print envelopes on other programs like Microsoft Word.

How do I make text bigger?

You can make your text bigger using the slider in the toolbar. The slider will not allow your text to become larger than the text box. If you want your text even larger than the current text box will allow, increase the size of the text box by clicking and dragging any of its corners.

How do I change my card from a half-fold to a quarter-fold?

You can change the fold of your card while you’re in the editor by selecting “Change Card Fold” at the top-left section of the editor. This will not change the way your card looks in the editor but will change the way it prints. If you want to change the way your card folds after you select “Print” and view the print preview, you can select your desired card fold on the left side of the print setup box. You will see the change immediately in the print preview.

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. Please see the What are the recommended print settings? question.

To change the font size, select a text box. In the "Edit this Text" menu, use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the font size.

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, check the printer’s settings 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 print out" 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 printer settings please see the What are the recommended print settings? question.

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.

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