happy mother’s day (and a free card!)

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Kylie here…and yes, I know I’m a little early with my greeting/well-wishes given that Sunday is THE special day…but I have a little something to share!! Plus, we all know too well that the week will whizz by and the weekend will be here before we know it – so, getting in a little early seemed like the best thing to do! ;o) Last year we offered a beautiful & FREE piece-a-cake card to download and use on Mother’s Day…and this year we’d love to do the same. Our latest card is perfect for moms (or mums!), sisters, aunts, grandmothers, friends, daughters – you name it :o) And if you’ve already organized cards for Mother’s Day or perhaps live in a country that has already celebrated (so sorry we missed you! ) feel free to use this pretty little card for another purpose ~ a birthday, a thank-you, a simple ‘thinking of you’…or just because :o) We hope you enjoy using it (for whichever reason)…and that the special person you give it to…enjoys receiving it!

CLICK HERE for the download (or you can simply click on the image below)!

Your download includes:

• 4×6 ‘front’ in PNG format
• 4×6 ‘back’ in JPEG format
• Wordart: “Happy Mother’s Day” in PNG format

We’ve included the 4×6 ‘back’ in the event you wish to print & make a traditional double-sided card (especially great if you wish to add a letter, quote, scripture or poem). You will notice that on the ‘back’ of the card we have added a spot to place the wordart greeting…or to add your own special message, if you prefer. The wordart also fits nicely on the ‘front’! And if you are looking for something simple and photo-less, then why not use the ‘back’ as your ‘front’…always nice to have options! :o)

Of course…these are high resolution and are meant to be customized by adding your photos and text and then printed. However, they are also wonderful for emailing (a perfect last-minute option!) The recipient will probably appreciate it if you resize first though (a great size is about 800 pixels wide at 72dpi for email). And now that my Mum is mastering the art of emailing (go mum!!)…this is the option that I’m going with!! :o)

Piece-a-cake cards are just that…a piece-a-cake! But, if you need help figuring out how to add your photos and text (remember, you will need some kind of graphics program to work with these files) – please visit our TUTORIALS page for help! We have tutorials (both video and screenshot versions) for our piece-a-cake pages/albums for both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. So, click around on the tutorials page and you should find all the answers you are looking for :o) But, the good news is that it is SUPER SIMPLE!

Enjoy the card! But most of all…ENJOY YOUR DAY…whether you spend it with your own mother…with your children…with your pets…or with family and friends – just enjoy it!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow – we’ve got something to CELEBRATE!!
