How the card maker works

  1. 1. Pick a holiday above.
  2. 2. Choose the front picture and front message.
  3. 3. Type who it's to, who it's from, and the inside note.
  4. 4. Choose Easy (1 portrait page, one-sided) or Deluxe (2 portrait pages, double-sided), preview the PDF, print at 100% scale, and fold across the middle.

Easy is one single-sided portrait page per card, so any printer can do it and you can crank out a whole stack. Deluxe adds an inside message and a decorated back, but needs double-sided printing (flip on the long edge). Cardstock works best, but copy paper is perfectly fine — Lulu Lilly would use both.
