on the left hand side is the premade template
which has been designed to accommodate

standard business cards and on the right hand side we see what it will look like
when you insert your business cards in the cells

if you don't normally when you copy you press right on your mouse
and you copy and venue
and then you pasted and do
where every and paste this case into camp now we've got here

okay now we have to be aware something here
in game when you paste to IM's together
you get these little ants this little moving lines
and we have to get rid of that because we can't do any more work on it until
we've taken the two layers and pasted them together
so what we do is we go to the top of your screen
and you'll notice it says two layers there okay
we want to make those two layers into one so we go down to layer here
and anchor year earlier now soon issue thank Richard Layard

by Jim
it's not going to fit this template you're going to put in
one
pixels
by

pixels okay otherwise it won't fit
now why this is so I don't know I have no idea
that just what you see is what you get
okay pressure now it's very very large
looks extremely large soul reduce your size to
I like it down I like to reduce it down to about
percent support the bottom
have your
she's here
and there it is fifty percent so there's your business card now you can play
around with that
you've got your this is why you're working with campers you can do so many
things in it so let's just
your business card and pam pam pam pam pam pam pam whenever
okay now once you get it done
you'll have it ready to
paste into your template
when I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna go down and
pick out hold on here

edit with camp okay so what will happen when I'm done that
his I will have it right here intranet me
now it looks huge it looks humongous
don't worry about it click on Edit
click on copy okay and carry it straight back
to your template click on edit
click on paste
okay and there you have it now
we've got to we got those little ants running around again and we don't want
those little and sweet but we want to be able to move this card around
so what we do was be got up and we find are
toolbox we pull it down
and then you go over to the side here and you choose the one that looks like a
snowflake okay
and you apply
to this okay now this will make it possible to move your little cart around
and position at now it has to be positioned accurately in order to get
this
accurate I suggest you increase the size
your template to
percent
like this there you have it
okay and i've been very careful
not to overlap the black lines this is extremely important because we have a
little trick at the end of this that won't work if overlap
blacklight okay now we go ahead
and paged and you'll get another free
right here there you go another card
paste it carefully okay now you're going to you
post another one and you yet
another one to do the same thing with okay page to carefully making sure
you don't overlap those lines
okay in another one over here
and so on wanna fast forward now
okay here peace to the mall and as you can see now will reduce the size
so you can see better okay
so there they all are now as you notice you got this little ants running around
again there so you've gotta go up to your
do the same thing you've got a hankerin this nothing's gonna work go up to your
layer up here
and anchor your layer okay until those little and stop running
okay now we're ready to roll now this is really important
we're going to do here next this is the greatest trick
we want to get rid of all these guidelines because when you cut
you can't possibly cut without slicing off
bits and pieces have those dark line so we want to get rid of them but at the
same point we want to keep our guidelines
and as you can see I've left a little space a little white space here
and that so that we can use the bucket fill
and get rid of those black lines so here's how we do it we go up here
and we get that tool box again we need it areas
okay now what you gonna do is your first time all come down here and make sure
that you're black
is white because we're gonna lose weight P
not black paint to make horrible mess okay
go up to your little bucket here got your back sale okay
now very carefully places on the black line
and there you go presto be got rid of all
those white marks now the only thing you have to do now
is to cut correctly I've made to cutting lines here there they are
cut down the middle cut off the top
cut off the bottom if you like or leave it to the end and then you have two
pieces
make sure when you put it in your color its three and a half inches
sliced down here and then two-inches'
two-inches' two-inches' two inches and two inches you will have

perfectly positioned cards okay and you can cut them at home
with your home Qatar and you can print them yourself
on a standard cardstock okay now I hope
