Don’t see what you want?  Email me at tarapage@telus.net and I can custom design something for you!

Cost

  • $20 for any previously designed cards.  You are allowed to change the font colors and any colors on the card as well as the size of the card for the $20.
  • $30 for any custom made card and your design will be added to my portfolio.
  • You are responsible for all costs of photos printed at any location of your choice.
  • To receive the printable version of the thank you card in addition to the birth announcement or invitation, add $10 to your order!

You Will Receive

  • A draft of the announcement/invitation of your choice with your information on it after payment is received.   I will do my best to provide you the draft within 24 hours of you sending me all of the information above.  If I’m unable to for whatever reason I will let you know.
  • Once the draft is approved you will receive a high quality JPG file that you can upload to the photo developing center of your choice and print as many copies as you like
  • You will receive an email version of the announcement/invitation so you can email to people if you wish to instead of sending actual cards through the mail.
  •  All announcements are in 4x6 printed size once you print them.  If you would like a custom order please let me know and I can do that for you.  I can make them 5x7 if you wish; it will require a bit more time.

Copyright

All designs below are created by myself and cannot be reproduced, copied or sold other than by me.  Any violators will be prosecuted to the extent of the law.  The graphics used in these announcements are public domain to the best of my knowledge.  Please be aware of those selling characters that you see on TV or in movies (i.e. Disney) as they are violating copyright laws by altering images that are copyright to the company that created them.  You will have a hard time getting those photos printed at some photo labs.

How To Save Invitation/Announcement to your Computer

If you use Hotmail as your email service:

1.      Open the email that I send you.  When it is open, you will see a paperclip in the top left portion of the email.  Beside it will be the name of your invitation or announcement ending in .jpg. 

2.      Click on the Name of your invitation or announcement.

3.      This brings up a window asking if you want to download or save your file.

4.      Click Save, it will then take a bit of time and it will give you a directory listing of your computer.  Choose the location that you want to save the file on your computer.  Click the Save button.

5.      Remember this location; you will need to remember where you saved it when you upload it to print.

 

If you use Outlook as your email service:

1.      Open the email that I send you.  When it is open, you will see a little icon beside the Attachments: section at the top header of the email.  Beside it will be the name of your invitation or announcement ending in .jpg. 

2.      Click the RIGHT button your mouse (you normally use the left button) one time.  This will bring up a drop down menu; move your mouse down to ‘Save As’.

3.       It will give you a directory listing of your computer.  Choose the location that you want to save the file on your computer.  Click the Save button.

4.       Remember this location; you will need to remember where you saved it when you upload it to print.

 

If you use another service, you will have to contact them and ask them how to save an attached file from your email to your computer.  Please know how to do this prior to placing an order.

How To Upload your Invitation or Announcement to a Photo Printing Service

1.      Choose the photo printing service of your choice.  I use Costco Photo Service, but Wal-Mart also has a photo service.  I will use Wal-Mart for this example.

2.      Go to http://walmart.pnimedia.com/home.aspx (make sure that there is a pick up area in your location)

3.      Click on Upload Photo (or log into your account if you have an account already).

4.      Click on the 'Basic Uploader' Button.

5.      Click the checkbox saying you agree to the Wal-Mart Terms and Conditions.

6.      By Image 1, click on the Browse button.

7.      Use the drop down list at the top that says Look In and choose the folder that you saved the invitation / announcement in.  Wait for it to show up in the list and check the little checkbox under the photo.

8.      Make the Title of the photo be whatever you like.

9.      Hit “Upload” button and wait until the Uploading Images pop up disappears.

10. From this point, follow the directions to order the prints, make sure you order 4X6 and that you order the number of prints that you want to receive.  You will also have to select your pick up location.   You can choose to have Matter or Glossy as well as if you want a border around the card or not.  Normally I choose glossy and no border, but that is my preference.

11. When you are printing it and it asks you what printing you want on the back, I’d really appreciate if you can put “Card Design by tarapage@telus.net”.  Enjoy!
